Students play a game of probability. In this statistics lesson, students calculate the possibility of an event occurring as they roll a die and calculate the first person getting closer to infinity.

In this on-line math worksheet, students complete 5 multiple choice questions where they find the average, or mean, of sets of numbers. Students can check their answers at the end of the worksheet.

Second graders accurately measure the distances they and their classmates jump. They determine the mean, median and mode of specific jumps. They are required to have two measurements for each classmate, one for standing long jump and one...

High schoolers use data from the Chesapeake Bay to analyze temperature, phosphate, nitrates, salinity, and oxygen levels.

Students practice the basic principles of probability by conducting an experiment, determining if a game is fair, collecting data, interpreting data, displaying data, conducting analysis, and stating and applying the rule for probability.

Third graders, in groups, dissect a variety of brands of chocolate chip cookies and calculate the mean for each brand. They create their own bar graphs, pictographs, and line graphs to represent information.

Students interpret data from tables and then create a graph to show the same data in a different organization.

Students create pictographs using their classmates in this technology-based lesson. The lesson uses Inspiration, or Kidspiration, digital cameras, and a downloadable pictograph template.

Students participate in several chance activities and examine a few games for fairness. They become game designers who are asked to design a fair game for a toy company. Students must describe the rules for play and examine...

Students investigate the concept of probability. They use example problems in order to measure the likelihood of various outcomes. The lesson includes dialogue to be used by the teacher during direct instruction. They also use class...

Learners investigating the concept of probability practice the concept using a variety of different example problems. The lesson is delivered in a question and answer format. The frequency of answers is recorded in a data table for...

Seventh graders use the Internet to get current sports information for data analysis. They use their data to find the mean, median, mode and range. Students then place their data on a spreadsheet.

Students explore the sustainability of our environment, the trend in rising temperatures and the emission of greenhouse cases. Using given data, students test and construct a confidence interval and the difference between two population...

Second graders investigate the skill of graphing data by using candy bars to create context for the lesson. They use technology for graphing and organizing information like a spreadsheet. The lesson includes a resource link to aid in the...

Students explore finding the percent of a numbers. They survey their peers to determine modes of transportation used in getting to school. Afterward, students organize information and create graphs and charts. They explore alternative...

Chunking information helps you remember that information longer. A hands-on activity tests this theory by having learners collect and analyze their own data. Following their conclusions, they conduct randomization simulations to...

Making inferences isn't an exact science. Using data about salaries, learners investigate the accuracy of their inferences. Their analyses includes simulations and randomization tests as well as population means.

Is time on your side? Pupils come up with an experiment to test whether their classmates can guess how long it takes for 30 seconds to elapse. They divide the class data into two groups, create box-and-whisker plots, and analyze the...

Conduct an experiment to determine the accuracy of pedometers versus pedometer apps. Class members collect data from each device, analyze the data using a hypothesis test, and determine if there is a significant difference...

True or false — Double Stuf Oreos always contain twice as much cream as regular Oreos. Scholars first measure the masses of the filling in regular Oreos and Double Stuf Oreos to generate a class set of data. They use hypothesis testing...

Show your classes how different means can represent the same data. Individuals collect household size data and calculate the mean. Pupils learn how handling of the data influences the value of the mean. 

Math and sports meet on the baseball diamond in the first STEM lesson in a series of six that asks pupils to collect and perform comparative analyses of data specific to baseball. Following the analysis, scholars create a presentation...

Caffeine affects your heart rate — or does it? Learners study experimental design while conducting their own experiment. They collect heart rate data after drinking a caffeinated beverage, create a box plot, and draw conclusions....

The mean might not always be the best representation of the average. The assessment task has individuals determine the measures of center for the salaries of a company. They determine which of the three would be the best representation...
