Young scholars 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.

Students get to know each other and while giving them an opportunity to practice their logical thinking skills.

Young scholars use a book or magazine to research the use of letters. They complete a worksheet and compare their results.

Students conduct an experiment to determine the frequency of pulling various parts of an ancient Greek sculpture out of a hat.

Students determine the difference between guessing and making a prediction. They discuss what they could graph using a bag of M&M's. They take a Raw data sample and convert it into a sample. They graph the actual results and combine...

Students calculate the probability of a desired outcome based upon a statistically significant number of discrete events (i.e. endgame free-throw attempts). They participate in an online simulation of basketball free throws.

In this statistics learning exercise, students analyze the data provided in order to determine the null hypothesis, an alternate hypothesis, and the significant difference between the groups.  The one page learning exercise contains...

In the probability and statistics worksheet, students determine the probability of an event occurring.  The one page worksheet contains one multiple choice question with the solution.

Students analyze the outcome of a scientific experiment using free downloadable software. They collect experimental data to use statistical software to determine if the observations are likely due to the treatment or random chance.

In this statistics worksheet, students test given claims using traditional methods of hypothesis testing. Students assume that sampling is randomly generated.

Students create a simulated self-sustaining ecosystem. In this biology lesson, students examine the different food chain and ecosystems in their model. They recommend some improvements and changes to an existing ecosystem.

Students explore the mathematics behind opinion polls, as well as provides a framework for interpreting trends in opinion poll graphics.

An engaging game called, "Quarter, Nickel, and Dime" is presented in this math lesson. Players are given an envelope with slips of paper that represent the three coins. In pairs, they play the game 18 times, and the whole class charts...

Reaction rates vary between your dominant and nondominant hand ... or do they? Young scholars conduct an experiment collecting data to answer just that. After collecting data, they calculate the p-value to determine if the difference is...

The class gets their mean and median all in a row with an assessment task that uses a population of ducklings to work with data displays and measures of central tendency. Pupils create a frequency chart and calculate the mean and median....

Were your chances of surviving the sinking of the Titanic better if you were a first-class passenger?  Capture learners' attention with actual historical data to find the answer. They use two-way tables to calculate conditional and...

Use the power of mathematics to find the number of red chips in a bag — it's a little like magic! The activity asks learners to collect data to determine the percentage of red chips in a bag. They calculate the margin of error and...

The more you text, the less you study. Have classes test this hypothesis or another question related to text messages. Using real data, learners use technology to create a scatter plot and calculate a regression line. They create a dot...

Determine the probability that the class knows probability. The three-question assessment presents problems with finding the sample space and the probability, theoretical and experimental, of a variety of situations. Pupils also describe...

Young mathematicians collect data on the arm spans of classmates. Then they sort the data by measures of center, spread, and standard deviation. Finally, they compare groups, such as boys and girls, to interpret any differences. 

Scholars create and perform experiments attempting to answer Buffon's Coin problem. They discover the relationships between geometry and probability, empirical and theoretical probabilities, and area of a circle and square.

Class members study the size of classmates' feet and perform a statistical analysis of their data. They solve for central tendencies, quartiles, and spread for the entire group as well as subgroups. They then write a conclusion based on...

How many people do you need in a room before two likely share the same birthday? Scholars consider this puzzle by analyzing a set of data. They ponder how to divide the data and determine the proper size of a group for this event to...

Bridge the gap between mathematics and Career Technical Education. Pupils research the cost associated with building storage sheds and analyze possible profit. They build scale models and determine if building and selling the sheds is a...
