Investigate the effect of false positives on probability calculation with an activity that asks scholars to collect simulated data generated by a calculator. To finish, participants analyze the probability of certain outcomes which lead...

Candy is always an effective motivator! A fun math activity uses M&M's and Skittles to explore two-way frequency tables and conditional probability. The candy can serve a dual purpose as manipulatives and experimental data.

Convert a table to probabilities. Pupils set up the winning rules for the sums of two dice. Using the rules, the applet fills out a table showing the winners for each combination. Learners determine the probabilities of winning for each...

Introduce your class to the seven elements of art through a presentation and related project. Before beginning the project, class members take notes on the presentation, writing down the underlined items and adding drawings into their...

In this tree diagrams learning exercise, 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 collect data and make predictions. In this probability lesson plan, students perform experiments calculating the chance of an event occurring. They draw conclusion based on their data.

In this math worksheet, learners investigate the ratio comparing the number of ways an event can occur using theoretical probability.

In this probability worksheet, students complete probability word problems involving odd and even numbers, dice, decks of cards, and more. Students complete 10 problems.

In this probability worksheet, students answer probability word problems about decks of cards, even and odd numbers, dice, and more. Students complete 10 problems total.

By examining a set of dice roll data, statisticians determine the probability of different sums occurring. They visit an interactive website and determine how many different vacation outfits Bobbie Bear will have based on the colored...

Knowing math helps you win games. Learners apply conditional probability concepts in an engaging performance task. After playing a game in which players roll a 10-sided polyhedron and then try to place the digits to get the highest...

There's no need to roll dice for this probability experiment, the resource includes them already. Scholars use an interactive to see how including more possibilities as favorable outcomes in a dice activity affects the probabilities....

Students practice formulating a hypothesis and designing an experiment to test the hypothesis. They identify several sampling techniques they can use to test their hypotheses.

Test a significant review of statistical questions. The resource provides pupils and teachers with insight into the way the exam assesses statistical concepts. Half of the released questions from the 2006 AP® Statistics Form B...

Investigate the fascinating, yet terrifying phenomenon of hurricanes from the safety of your classroom using this earth science unit. Focusing on developing young scientists' spacial thinking skills, these lessons engage...

Introduce learners to set of complete instructions that describe how to build a magnetometer that works just like the ones professional photographers use to predict auroras. The diagrams are wonderfully descriptive, and the written...

Learners, after reading "The Button Box" by Margarette S. Reid, analyze real-world data by surveying a sample space. They predict the generalization onto a larger population utilizing calculators and computers. Students total categories,...

This helpful lesson explores the probability in tossing a coin and throwing dice. Specifically, it looks at the probability of getting numbers that are significant to the game of craps, assuming that once the math is understood, most...

Statisticians analyze different samples to find independent and dependent events. In this probability instructional activity, pupils predict the outcome and then calculate the real outcome. They create a tree diagram to help predict the...

Students collect and plot data on a graph. In this statistics lesson plan, students analyze the distribution of a sample and predict the outcome. They find the line of best fit and discuss what would make the sample larger.

What happens when your teachers get tired of grading tests and want to use games of chance to determine your grade? How would you decide which game they should play? Learn how to use expected value and standard notation to compare two...

Young scholars gather high and low temperature readings through email. In this temperature graphing lesson, students use a spreadsheet to input data for a graph. young scholars interpret the graphs to compare and contrast the data from...

Ninth graders investigate the concept of probability. They use a clear objective that is a visual cue for what is required for the lesson. They apply the basic practices of probability to real life like situations.

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.
