In this math worksheet, students solve a word problem related to illegal use of a firearm arrests in Hemlock County. Students read two candidates' statements and decide which is mathematically correct.

In this statistical diagrams worksheet, students solve 30 short answer problems. Students find the mean of a set of numbers and read/interpret a graph to answer questions. Students determine the x-values that satisfy a y-value criteria,...

For this probability and statistics worksheet, 9th graders analyze and interpret histograms as they identify trends in the data.  The two page worksheet contains four problems.  Answers are provided. 

Future statisticians and potential psychics first conduct an experiment to collect data on whether a person can tell if someone is staring at them. Statistical methods, such as hypothesis testing, chi-square tests, binomial tests, and...

The way you use statistics can tell different stories about the same set of data. Here, learners use sets of data to determine which person sends the most text messages. They use random sampling to collect their data and calculate a...

Statisticians analyze a data set of student IQs by finding measures of central tendency and dispersion such as mean, median, mode, and quartiles. They practice using a graphing calculator to find the values and analyze box plots and...

Learners explore the concept of fairness. In this fairness lesson, students play four probability games. Learners determine who has the best chance of winning each of the four games. Students discuss which games gave an unfair advantage.

Young analysts use real (provided) data from a class's test scores to practice using statistical tools. Not only do learners calculate measures of center and spread (including mean, median, deviation, and IQ range), but...

Expand your pupils' vocabulary! Learn how to use statistical vocabulary regarding linear models. The activity teaches scholars the appropriate terminology for bivariate data analysis. To complete the module, individuals use linear...

But it's just a game! Learners play a game to learn basic concepts of statistical hypothesis testing. After using the digital-game module, pupils develop their own statistical hypotheses and test them.

Are your classes ready for their final exams? Give them a test run with the 2018 AP® exam. The resource provides the six free-response questions covering topics such as confidence intervals, population proportions, and least-squares...

Reduce testing anxiety by helping learners prepare for test day. Scholars complete six free-response questions from a released AP® exam. The questions test a variety of concepts including confidence intervals, frequency tables,...

Using a 2002 California Gray David recall vote as an example, young statisticians  identify sources of bias in samples and find ways of reducing and eliminating sampling bias. They consider ways to select random samples from a...

In this chemistry worksheet, students focus upon the concepts of mean and standard deviation and how it is used in the laboratory to interpret data.

Determine the class favorite. The statistics lesson plan has pupils collect, display, and analyze data. Pairs rank four kinds of candy based on their individual preferences. Working as an entire class, learners determine a way to display...

Happy Pi Day! This collection of games, experiments, and activities leads participants through an exploration of the many aspects and attributes of that mysterious quantity, pi. Activities range from using statistical...

Statistics is made approachable, and dare we say fun, in this activity on using box-and-whisker plots to analyze and compare data sets. Specific emphasis is placed on interpretations and explanations while graphing, and in using the...

The penny arcade gets the statistics treatment in this fun probability investigation. A non-standard game of chance is described and then the class is set loose to find missing probabilities, determine common outcomes, and evaluate...

Explore the power of mathematics through this two-week statistics unit. Pupils learn about several climate-related issues and complete surveys that communicate their perceptions. They graph both univariate and bivariate data and use...

What city has the most consistent temperatures? Pupils use the mean and mean absolute deviation to describe various data sets including the average temperature in several cities. The 10th lesson in the 22-part series asks learners to...

Statistics is an important part of baseball. Given the mean weight of players on a baseball team, scholars determine the total weight of the players. They then find the median and range of weights for the opposing team. Lastly, they...

An environmental factor, such as a drought, sometimes speeds up the rate of natural selection. Scholars analyze data on the beaks of birds around the time of the drought. They compare those that survived to those that perished and find...

Two fish appear different, but how do scientists determine their genotypes? Scholars practice performing test crosses to determine the genotypes of fish given their phenotypes. They answer in-depth comprehension questions and complete...

Understanding the importance of SAT scores is as easy as ABC. A set of three statistics lessons teaches scholars about normal distributions, the Empirical Rule, and z-scores. They apply their newfound knowledge to investigate data...
