An Introduction to Elementary Statistics

Here is a nice activity about recognizing the difference between a statistical question and answer and one that anticipates a fixed answer. From this, your future statisticians will develop an understanding of variability and be able to...

Take a chance with an activity sure to improve your class's skills. An introductory lesson plan focuses on probability and chance. It shows how probability is always a value between zero and one, i.e., the probability of an event is...

A fun, engaging lesson plan is definitely in the cards for your future. Pupils explore a deck of playing cards in the fifth of six parts in the Statistics and Probability series to learn about its suits and the number of each card type....

Here is a turnkey lesson that walks young statisticians through the development and uses of conditional probability. From dice games to surveys, Venn diagrams to frequency tables, the class learns how a given can effect the overall...

Remove the confounding relationship between correlation and causation. The resource provides instructional guidance to help classmates explore the relationship between correlation and causation. Pupils realize that there are confounding...

Would you recognize a statistical question if you saw one? A video lesson introduces scholars to the branch of mathematics called statistics. Using dot plots and other data representations, the lesson instructor analyzes the data in...

Sometimes the measures of center don't give us enough information. The spread of the data can tell statisticians much more about the data set. A video lesson, part of a statistics video series, describes different measures of spread such...

There is growing evidence that suggests the results of many studies are not reproducible. The 31st lesson of the Crash Course Statistics playlist discusses possible causes of the problem and identifies solutions since producibility is...

How many trees should we plant? Using an interactive as a manipulative, individuals find the mean, median, and mode for sets of data. They determine the number of trees to plant in each plot of land to reach a statistical goal.

Students explore the concepts of mean, median, and mode. They develop an understanding and familiarity with these concepts. Students explore mean and median in an efficient way. Students explore three different measures of center.
