A series of math and science activities feature M&M's® as manipulatives to help kids work through equations. The resource includes exercises on finding averages, percent of compositions, moles in chemical reactions, genotypes and...

One of the hardest skills for many young geometers to grasp is to move beyond just declaring obvious things true, and really returning to fundamental principles for proof. This brief exercise stretches those proving muscles as the...

Fifth graders participate in a lesson that is concerned with the mastery of math concepts related to probability. They play a math game that is an adaptation from Rock, Paper, and Scissors.

In this online math instructional activity, students practice their word problem solving skills. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties. A terrific...

Students explore basic probability.  In this Algebra II/Geometry lesson, students use modeling to solve basic probability problems involving real-life applications. 

For this online math worksheet, students consider a variety of scenarios which include elements of geometry and probability. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into...

Young scholars investigate probability.  In this fourth through sixth grade mathematics lesson, students collect, organize and display data in an appropriate chart or graph as they calculate and apply basic probability. 

Students calculate mean, median, range, mode and probability. Then, working in teams, they use data from their workplace to compute values for these terms. Finally the class explores the term "probability" using a die.

Third graders conduct experiment, collect data, predict, record, and discuss outcomes, and analyze data for probability.

Students have fun with math. In this math skills lesson, students collaborate to solve the problems presented in this interactive lesson. The problems pertain to geometry, measurement, probability, number sense, and algebra.

Students use baseball cards to add up batting average and reinforce math skills. In this batting averages lesson plan, students use old baseball cards to practice different math skills and look at other baseball statistics.

Students identify how to use a scatterplot to compare two sets of data to determine if they are related. Then they identify and describe the definition of regression line (the "line of best fit"). Students also identify how scientists...

Flip a coin: heads, use the resource; tails, use the resource. The fourth of six installments of the Statistics & Probability unit looks at coin tosses and probability. The class conducts an experiment and sees that the outcomes of...

Using a game format, learners review what they know about theoretical probability. As they roll tetrahedron dice, they record their results as odd or even. Afterwards, they discuss their findings.

Calculators sure come in handy. An AP® Statistics instructional resource provides suggestions for using calculator simulations. It gives activities for adding variances, normal probability plots, and t distributions.

What are the chances? Teach your classes to answer this question using mathematics. The first part of a three-day lesson on determining significance differences in experimental data prompts learners to analyze the data by...

Middle schoolers must determine probabilities for a memory game in which winning requires matching two of the same cards. They then must determine what happens when more cards are added to the pile.

Life's not fair, but decisions can be. The 17th installment of a 21-part module teaches learners about fair decisions. They use simulations to develop strategies to make fair decisions.

Young mathematicians fold and flick their way to a deeper understanding of statistics with a fun, hands-on math unit. Over the course of four lessons, students use paper footballs to generate data as they learn how to create line...

The scientific issue of carbon-14 dating and exponential decay gets a statistics-based treatment in this problem. The class starts with a basic investigation of carbon content, but then branches out to questions of accuracy and...

Sixth graders explore the concept of probability. In this probability lesson plan, 6th graders collaborate to collect spinner data based on the likelihood of spinning odd and even numbers. Students complete 2 other probability activities...

In this online math worksheet, high schoolers consider a variety of scenarios involving probability. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties. A terrific...

Your teenagers are probably very good at spending money, but how good are they at managing it? Teach class members about banking, checking accounts, interest rates, car insurance, and many other relevant concepts with a series of...

Students explore the concept of theoretical and experimental probability. In this theoretical and experimental probability instructional activity, students roll dice, draw marbles out of a bag, and draw a card from a deck of cards....
