Learners explore probability.  In this statistics/probability instructional activity, students compare experimental and theoretical probability and use experimental probability to make predictions and conjectures.  Learners...

Students predict the-outcome of an event. In this algebra activity, students compare and contrast the probability of an event occurring. They calculate the odds of a simple event and make estimation.

Students calculate the probability of an event occurring. In this probability instructional activity, students differentiate between independent, dependent or compound events. They find the range of the data.

Students differentiate between a meteor and meteorite. They participate in an experiment to discover how the size and weight of an object determines the size of the impact crater. They utilize their math skills by measuring with a ruler...

Learners complete a math survey. In this math graphs lesson, students complete a survey about their favorite candy bars. Learners create different kinds of graphs using Microsoft Excel to show their results.

In this probability worksheet, high schoolers analyze word problems to determine for part one the independent events and for part two the dependent events. There are 6 questions.

Learners collect data on different events and word problems. In this algebra lesson, students use a table to organize their data. They graph their coordinate pairs on a coordinate plane and make predictions.

Young scholars define Pascal's triangle and special notations used to represent nth elements. In this geometry activity, students solve problems using permutations and combinations. They compare the formula for permutation to that of...

Students calculate the normal distribution. In 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.

Students explore the concept of binomial distribution. In this binomial distribution lesson, students perform binomial distributions on a number of problems in this lecture lesson. Students find the mean and variance of binomial...

Students explain why for a group of n people, there are an equal number of possibilities for subgroups of size k (such that k < n) and size n - k.

Students create a graph of tulip growth. In this data analysis lesson, students plant tulip bulbs and use graph paper to begin graphing data on the growth of the tulip.

Students analyze divination and carry out experiments using a probability model. In this probability lesson, students review information about divination and predictions in various cultures. Students set up experiments to test...

Students explore the realm of mathematical probability while playing a game of chance. after constructing paper rockets, they fire it enough times to determine the probabilities of the rocket traveling past a marked distance and of it...

Students define normal distribution as it relates to the bell curve. In this statistics instructional activity, students use the central tendencies of mean, median and mode to solve problems. They plot their data and draw conclusion from...

Students test the hypotheses using p values. In this statistics lesson, students define and examine conditional probability. They test each statement for a true statement or a false statement, based on the sample size.

Learners investigate the pros and cons of the lottery. In this algebra lesson, students use the formulas for permutation and combination to test their arguments about the lottery. They collect data about their argument and plot it on a...

Twelfth graders determine probabilities of real-life events such as life expectancies, winning a lottery ticket, and the break-even premium. They deduce what percent of markup is. Students are able to compare terms for financing a car...

Students learn about the importance and risk that stocks carry within a business. In this financial management lesson, students use role play and case scenario situations to decide what stocks are best for given companies. Based on the...

Students explore the concept of line of best fit. For this line of best fit lesson, students find lines of best fit in examples about riding your bike home from school and dentistry. Students find two data points and find the line of...

Pupils investigate teachers and gender preference. In this statistic instructional activity, students collect data of teachers calling on pupils to see if they are calling on one gender more than the other. Students examine the data and...

Young scholars decide when to use computation and permutation to solve problems. In this algebra lesson plan, students apply the correct method to solve complex set of events. They differentiate between dependent and independent events.

Students study basic recursion by exploring patterns in the data they generate from two simple probability-based experiments. In the first, students flip a coin to discover how many times they must flip it before it lands on "heads."...

Young scholars perform basic matrices operations. In this algebra lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide matrices. They solve system of equations using matrices.
