Eighth graders analyze data from line graphs. They discuss the purpose of line graphs, identify the parts of a line graph, answer questions about various graphs, and complete a worksheet. This lesson includes a script to teach along with.

An outstanding lesson on teaching the basic shapes and polygon names to young geometers is here for you. In it, learners investigate the role of basic polygons in the strength of structures. They use geoboards, rubber bands, streamed...

Error does not mean something went wrong! Learners complete a problem from beginning to end using concepts developed throughout the last five lessons. They begin with a set of data, determine a population proportion, analyze their result...

All data is not created equal. Scholars examine the different types of studies and learn about the importance of randomization. They explore the meaning of causation and when it can be applied to data. 

Challenge your classes to complete an experiment from beginning to end. Learners make their own hypotheses, collect and analyze their own data, and make their own conclusions. They are on their way to becoming statisticians! 

Teach your class a thing or two about making educated mathematical guesses. Learners read a passage that explains estimation and approximate and exact answers. They then respond to five questions about and related to the text.

Eighth graders examine probability. Students read real life situations involving math. Upon completing probability problems, they express their answer as a fraction, decimal or percent.

Sixth graders study the probability of single events. Given a bag of marbles, they discuss and find the probability of single events. In groups of two, 6th graders complete additional activities, predicting the probability. Students...

Ninth graders investigate the concept of probability. They use a clear objective that is a visual cue for what is required for the lesson. They apply the basic practices of probability to real life like situations.

Sixth graders investigate probability. They use ratios to solve simple probability situations. Students express their solutions in the form of fractions or decimals. They predict outcomes and complete probability worksheets.

Fourth graders participate in a lesson that explores probability. They use candy and model cubes to experiment with different outcomes that can be charted if the students can proceed to the objective of the lesson. They discover how...

Fourth graders find and justify probabilities and approximations.  In this repeating experiment, 4th graders complete a worksheet after rolling die and tossing coins to determine outcomes.

Middle schoolers identify and interpret various ways of expressing probability as a decimal, fraction, percent, or ratio. They solve problems based on probability as they apply to real world applications.

Fifth graders investigate the concepts of combinations and permutations using probability. They practice calculations using probability to measure the outcomes. Students demonstrate how to organize and categorize the data.

Explore how statistics are used in everyday life. Your soon-to-be savvy consumers use the Internet to find consumer-related statistical information and learn to make wise consumer decisions. Includes links to a practice sheet about data...

Middle schoolers study the components of a deck of cards and conduct an initial experiment in the probability of drawing various types of cards from a deck. They play two rounds of poker to discover the probability of drawing several...

Matrices help solve systems of equations in chemistry, computer graphics, circuitry, probability, and more. The second lesson in a seven-part series focuses on using matrices to balance chemical equations. Pupils rely on the Law of...

Pupils participate in probability experiments and simulations while modeling and solving problems. They examine how to use the random number generator on a graphing calculator using examples from their local hockey teams.

Students participate in a variety of activities in order to understand the concept of probability. The students are engaged because of the application of The Multiple Intelligences Theory.

Students explore mathematical applications of the current intra-city World Series. After learning how one school district is incorporating the World Series in its classrooms, students consider possible applications of the Series in their...

Introduce your class to the narrative, descriptive and expository forms of writing. In groups, they discuss the personality of the author while graphing the characteristics after reading different examples from the same writer. To end...

Young scholars collect and analyze data, then draw conclusions from the data and apply basic concepts of probability.
