The Real Meal Deal
Burgers and salads and sodas, oh my! Scholars use a menu to investigate the Fundamental Counting Principle. They create tree diagrams to illustrate the number of possible choices for each given scenario.
Mathematics Assessment Project
Representing Probabilities: Medical Testing
Test probability concepts with an activity that asks pupils to first complete a task investigating false positive in medical testing and then to evaluate sample responses to the same task.

Traffic Light Probability
Students discuss the possible traffic signals that may be observed on the way to a field trip. They record data on the trip, and analyze the probability of the results occurring again.

What Are the Chances?
Take a chance on an informative resource. Scholars conduct probability experiments involving coins and number cubes to generate data. Compiling class data helps connect experimental probability to theoretical probability.

Analyze This
Sixth graders use a video and the internet to determine whether a game is fair or unfair. In this probabilities lesson plan, 6th graders determine the fairness of a game based on the probabilities of the outcomes.

Indirect Measurement
Students measure and apply their knowledge of proportion to solve problems. For this geometry lesson, students measure using a meter stick, small mirror and measuring tape. They compare and contrast their measurements to objects outside...

It Figures!
Students judge, compare and construct two-dimensional figures using a variety of materials.
