For this statistics and probability worksheet, students solve problems in which they use the counting principle and/or tree diagrams to determine the number of outcomes of an event or the probability of event occurring.  The three...

Emerging statisticians develop the ability to make inferences from sample data while also working on proportional relationships in general. Here, young learners examine samples for bias, and then use random samples to make...

Far out — plan a trip to space! Aspiring mathematicians steer a space vehicle through an asteroid field, calculate currency exchanges to buy provisions, and determine placement of charges to blow up asteroids. Along the way, they learn...

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...

Eighth graders investigate the probability of combined events.  For this eight grade probability lesson, 8th graders use a sample space, two events, and their intersections to determine the probability of each event, their...

Your sixth and seventh graders deepen their understanding of a number line and adding integers in this concrete, hands-on activity. Learners play "Warehouse Puzzle" and then discuss their game strategies and the characteristics...

Now that we know about permutations and combinations, we can finally solve probability problems. The fourth installment of a 21-part module has future mathematicians analyzing word problems to determine whether permutations or...

Fifty-eight flashcards make up a set designed to reinforce math vocabulary. Within the set, you'll find bold-faced word cards as well as definition cards that offer a labeled example. Terms include base, percent, theoretical...

Eighth graders investigate the basic concepts of probability. In this probability lesson, 8th graders learn the associated probability. They work with spinners, colored cubes in a bag, flip coins, and choose colored candies while they...

Seventh graders investigate theoretical and experimental probability by conducting a series of experiments with multiple trials, comparing results, combining results and making conclusions. They express probabilities as fractions,...

Students calculate the chance of an event occurring. In this statistics instructional activity, students use combination and permutation to calculate the probability of an event occurring. They differentiate between theoretical and...

In this combination worksheet, pupils draw Venn Diagrams, they determine the number of combinations of a particular event using tree diagrams or the fundamental counting principle. This one-page worksheet contains approximately eight...

Young scholars calculate the probability of an event occurring. In this statistics lesson, students calculate the outcome using combination and permutation. They differentiate between-theoretical and experimental probability.

Intricate details of a modern technology that many of us take for granted in our phones, computers (and some cars) are laid bare in a short but deeply investigative activity. The math behind a seemingly simple GPS device...

Students identify letter names of notes, demonstrate simple rhythms, and use that knowledge to play short melodic phrases using the educational software called BugBand. Handouts and a quiz to assess student achievement are included.
