Students review and better examine hypothesis testing and evaluation of probability distributions. the use of the discovery method is vital to the studying because it is about student interests which helps for motivation.

Young scholars determine expected values of experiments and explore distributions of experiments. They guess as to how many times a coin will flip heads in fifty tries. They flip a coin fifty times graphing the results on a histogram....

Put those numbers to work by completing a statistical study! Pupils finish the last two steps in a statistical study by summarizing data with displays and numerical summaries. Individuals use the summaries to answer the statistical...

No matter how your day is going, it probably hasn't started out as badly as Gregor Samsa's day. Explore the essentially—and definitively—Kafkaesque story of a man-turned-vermin with a short and straightforward crossword puzzle on...

Students calculate the normal distribution. For this statistics lesson, students use the normal distribution to estimate binomial distributions. They define when to use NP and n(1-p) to make approximations.

Sixth graders use a video and the internet to determine whether a game is fair or unfair. In this probabilities lesson plan, 6th graders determine the fairness of a game based on the probabilities of the outcomes.

Eighth graders use colored candy pieces (such as M & M's) to compare mathematical expectations and experimental probability. They pick pieces of candy randomly, and graph their results. This classic activity never fails to engage...

Students are introduced to the normal distribution and examine the bell curve controversy.

Students explore the concept of the bell curve. In this bell curve lesson, students discuss the controversy associated with the bell curve. Students use an applet to explore a normal distribution. Students discuss mean, median, mode,...

In this tree diagrams worksheet, students solve and complete 10 different problems that include creating tree diagrams. First, they toss a coin and roll a die simultaneously to determine the outcomes with a tree diagram. Then, students...

Learners explore number patterns. For this number patterns and probability math lesson, students work in groups to describe the patterns present in the first five rows of Pascal's Triangle, then write numbers to continue this pattern....

In this probability worksheet, students solve for the area under the frequency histograms. They identify the area using the derivative. There are 3 questions. 

In this confidence interval worksheet, learners examine given statistical information to find the margin of error. They construct a confidence interval for the population and find the mean. Seven statistical problems are available on...

Students analyze the graph of a distribution. In this statistics activity, students define skewed or mound shape distribution as they investigate the data behind the graph. They define and plot outlier as well as normal probability.

In this sequences and probabilities worksheet, students read about solar storms and determine the probability that none of the events occurred on the same day.

Candy is always a good motivator! Use this collection of M&M's® experiments to introduce statistics topics, including mean, standard deviation, nonlinear transformation, and many more. The use of a hands-on model with...

In this statistics and probability worksheet, high schoolers analyze frequency distribution tables or histograms and box and whisker plots.  The two page worksheet contains four multiple choice questions.  Answers are...

Third graders compare experimental results with mathematical expectations of probabilities. They utilize a worksheet imbedded in this plan to gain practice with the concept of probability.

Three simple activities kick off a unit investigation of density. Your physical scientists make observations on the volume and mass of wood, water, and rocks, and make comparisons. Though this is written for grades three through eight,...

Looking for a complete go-to guide for the standard form of conics? This five-page packet does a nice job of connecting conics to prior knowledge of functions and transformations. Adapt the resource as Algebra II lesson plan...

Help your classes find the significance in this lesson! Learners analyze the probability of Diff values. They then determine if the difference is significant based on their probability of occurrence. 

In this stats worksheet, students identify how many ways there are to split 25 pieces of candy in between 3 people. There is a very detailed answer key with this problem.

Students research careers in agriculture. In this agricultural lesson, students discover the various careers related to agriculture. Students construct resumes and "apply" for agricultural jobs.

Eleventh graders collect data about the state they live in. In this statistics instructional activity, 11th graders collect and analyze data as they compare themselves to students in other states. They analyze data about a person's...
