An Introduction to Elementary Statistics

How many raisins are in the box? Pupils count the number of raisins in a box and combine their data with the class data. Using different displays, class members develop an answer to the statistical question.

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...

It's not a sprint, it's a marathon! Statistic concepts take time to develop and understand. A guided activity provides an opportunity for individuals to practice their linear regression techniques in spreadsheet software. The activity...

Statistically, practicing this packet completely helps young mathematicians do well on the test. The packet is adaptable to many grade levels as it includes basic probability and goes up to data analysis with mean, median, and mode. 

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...

If you know how much carbon dioxide you produce in one breath, can you figure out how much you produce in one month? Socratica helps solve multi-step unit conversion problems. The video walks through how to set up these challenges and...

Variable expressions can take many shapes and forms. Learners review the different components of many different variable expressions in a straightforward video lesson. After introducing vocabulary, the instructor uses context to write...

While some branches of science refer to it as dimensional analysis and others as unit conversions, both terms mean the same thing. Socratica presents a video explaining the basics of this topic discussing inches-to-feet conversion as...

Explore right triangle trigonometry with a thorough video lesson. The lesson instructor introduces the trigonometric ratios with an examination of right triangle sides and angles. She continues with practice writing the ratios using...

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.
