Young artists create 2-D art using air-dry clay and acrylic paint in this mosaic-making activity. Kids trace their design sketch on a clay slab, cut out the pieces, and after drying, paint and mount their tile design.

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

Students make predictions based on survey results. They calcuate sample proportions. Students estimate the number of voters in their district preferring the democratic candidate using their sample results. They review sample proportions...

Young scholars compare and contrast the visible structures of three insects based on photographs. They differentiate characteristics of crane flies, ants, and wasps then create a simple classification system.

Fifth graders identify the subject part of a sentence. They receive randomly distributed teacher-made sentence parts. They have either a subject part of a sentence or the remainder of the sentence.

Students use data from simulations to make theoretical generalizations. They discuss possible relationships between several given events and gain understanding about their own mathematical intuition about likelihood.

The test may say you have cancer, but sometimes the test is wrong. The provided task asks learners to analyze cancer statistics for a fictitious town. Given the rate of false positives, they interpret the meaning of this value in the...

Eighth graders extend their learning of graphing linear equations and are introduced to connecting patterns in tables and graphs to represent algebraic representations. They then determine patterns and extrapolate information from these...

Students explore politcical polling by conducting a poll of student body elections. They prepare a survey, distribute forms, and tabulate data.

Explore the visual arts by creating a construction paper art project. In this collage lesson, young artists research the Internet to examine styles of famous artists including Keith Haring. They create cut-outs of hearts using...

Third graders listen as teacher snaps her fingers in a certain pattern and then join in as they become familiar with the pattern and then repeating it. They observe a patterns of shapes and repeat after the teacher has explained it....

Students construct data tables using the results of previous experiments. In this graphing instructional activity, students plot data and interpret the results. Students discuss how they organized their data.

Students study A Raisin in the Sun. Students study new vocabulary through a game of bingo. Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech "I Have a Dream" as a supplementary text. Students create their own bingo cards.

Students use probability to determine how likely it is for each tree in a small forest to catch on fire.

Focus on the development and collection of data, emphasizing the importance of simple random sampling.

An online statistics glossary which contains the definition for stratified sampling. Lists reasons for using stratified sampling instead of simple random sampling and gives an example situation in which stratified sampling may be used.

This site from Cornell University contains great information on random or probability sampling. Definitely a site worth checking out on the subject.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This Concept introduces students to the most basic counting rule: the multiplication rule. It also explains the probability of simple random samples.

This lesson will define the term unbiased sample, and present the different types of unbiased sampling methods (e.g. simple random sample, stratified random sample, systematic random sample). It is 1 of 4 in the series titled "Unbiased...

This set contains statistics questions regarding surveys and survey designs. The student differentiates between a systematic sample, a convenience sample, a simple random sample (SRS), and a stratified random sample.
