PDF's and PMF's
In this probability worksheet, students solve for the area under the frequency histograms. They identify the area using the derivative. There are 3 questions.
Curated OER
Seeing Is Believing
Students investigate the concepts of probability. They use data to find the central tendency, median, and mode. Students design and play a game in order to practice the concepts. They also complete a table with data that is analyzed.
Curated OER
Remote Possibilities
Students collect data and analyze the data using a graph. In this statistics lesson, students use combinations and theoretical and experimental probability to analyze their data. They observe a remote controlled robot as they collect data.

"The Giver" by Lois Lowry
Middle schoolers predict results, design a model, and carry out trials to determine probability based on their experimentation.
Curated OER
Coin Drop
Students calculate the theoretical and empirical probability by dropping coins on a grid. They record their data and compare the theoretical and empirical data. Students make predictions about the results before conducting the experiment.

Variations on a Human Face Lab
Ninth graders gain an application level understanding of probability, symmetry, and ratios and rates that exists in one's everyday environment relative to human genetics.
Curated OER
Math: Heads or Tails
Seventh graders discover the difference between theoretical and experimental probabilities by designing their own problems and testing them. After conducting their own coin toss trial, they compare their results with an Internet...

Take A Chance Or Two
A two-part lesson immerses young statisticians in the concept of probability. On the first day, will conduct experiments with a two-colored coin and learn how to write probabilities as fractions, ratios, and percentages. In the second...

Fair Games
Fifth graders examine the statistics of playing games. Many games of chance and activities in maths text books involve rolling two dice and combining the scores, usually by addition. Students often find the probabilities of such events...

Make the Highest Total
Sixth graders predict the outcome of a simple probability experiment, test it and explain the result by using problem solving strategies to explore situations mathematically. They then play a few games informally where students play in...

Disease and Epidemics
Explore how the study of diseases and epidemics can be comprehended from a mathematical perspective. Investigate finite geometric series, calculating threshold values, and statistical models of the spread of disease. How many makes it an...

Entrance Ticket
Young scholars collect data on different events and word problems. In this algebra instructional activity, students use a table to organize their data. They graph their coordinate pairs on a coordinate plane and make predictions.
Curated OER
Scale Me Down
Young scholars create scale drawings, and ultimately scale models, of real-world objects in this Math instructional activity about ratios, proportion, scaling factors, and cross products. The instructional activity includes ideas for...
Curated OER
Who Gave It to You?
Students use logic to locate the primary cases, the people who started the spread of the disease through the population. They graph the data of the number of people infected over time (exchanges) and determine an equation that best fits...

Matrices: A Secret Weapon
Students perform operations with matrices. In this algebra lesson, students use cryptography and cryptanalysis to solve problems. They add, subtract, and multiply matrices.
Curated OER
Brian's Pegboard I
Third graders focus on developing a systematic approach to problem solving while working on a problem that requires them to determine possible outcomes. They use a pegboard as a manipulative in this problem.
Curated OER
Brian's Pegboard II
Learners are able to assess a problem and use systematic methods to solve the problem. They also find out all the possible outcomes for a sequence of events using tree diagrams.
Curated OER
The Bell Curve
Students are introduced to the normal distribution and examine the bell curve controversy.
Curated OER
Lesson 56
Sixth graders practice Least Common Multiple in fractions. In this fraction lesson, 6th graders look at two different fractions and find a common denominator. They sing a song to memorize mean, median, and mode.
Curated OER
Coin Shake-Up
Students discuss problem and take turns in pairs, one tossing the coins while the other guesses whether the coins land with the same side up or different sides up. They record the results of each guess as same or different.
