How many ways can you arrange two six-hole Legos? Scholars practice their understanding of combinations as they investigate this question. As they create a plan, they develop a specific definition of a combination.  

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...

The Hardy-Weinberg principle states that alleles and genotypes remain constant in the absence of evolutionary influences. Scholars complete a simple hands-on activity applying the Hardy-Weinberg principle to sample data. They observe how...

How should a cashier stock a cash register with coins? Learners use mathematical modeling and expected value to determine how many rolls of coins of each type they should place in a cash register.

It takes exactly one to win. Pupils calculate the probability of rolling five dice and having only a single die come up with a one. Learners calculate the number of expected wins out of a series of games. The interactive provides...

There's no need to roll dice for this probability experiment, the resource includes them already. Scholars use an interactive to see how including more possibilities as favorable outcomes in a dice activity affects the probabilities....

And the winner is ... not always who it appears to be. An interactive gives the directions for a dice game that on the surface gives one player an advantage over the other. Pupils look closer at the possible outcomes and find the...

Wanna roll the dice? Determine whether it is a good idea to play a dice game. An interactive presents the rules for a game of dice. Pupils find the probabilities of each event and calculate the expected value of the game. They finish...

MathWorld provides a brief description of the Rolle's Theorem. Click on any of the highlighted words to further understand the material.

Roll a log into an equivalent expression. Given four expanded logarithmic expressions, pupils write an equivalent condensed expression. They identify which properties allows for the simplification.
