The Winning Edge: Probability in Basketball: Lesson 2

Eight problems get seventh graders selecting the likelihood of certain real-world events occurring. They relate the probabilities in fraction, decimal, and percent form. No answer key is provided, so make sure to create one prior to...

Be sure to look both ways when making a two-way table. In the lesson, scholars learn to create two-way tables to display bivariate data. They calculate relative frequencies to answer questions of interest in the 14th part of the series.

Can an equation have an infinite number of solutions? Allow your class to discover the relationship between the input and output variables in a two-variable equation. Class members explore the concept through tables and graphs and...

Flipping a coin and spinning a spinner helps learners reason through the probability of specific events happening in this first of four probability worksheets. Learners predict the outcome when a coin is flipped twenty times and record...

Section seven of twelve turns the mathematical eye toward higher-level concepts. From radians in the unit circle to the complex number system, logarithms to advanced factoring methods, this lesson—just past the halfway point in the...

As we approach the end of the Saxon math sections, the 11th of 12 units begins the process of summarizing and combining material from the previous lessons. The relationships between functions and their transformations are investigated,...

Mark Twain said, "Facts are stubborn, but statistics are more pliable." Building on the previous lesson in the two-part series, scholars learn to graph the progression toward theoretical probability and the interpretation of statistics....

The probability of you being born was about one in 300 trillion. The first of two lessons has young mathematicians explore probability. They rotate through five stations comparing theoretical and experimental probability using common...

Multiple worked examples and clear explanation of arithmetic steps really make this presentation on conditional probability stand out.  Specifically, an emphasis on the reasoning behind the calculations helps young statisticians develop...

Your learners will be surprised by the thought-provoking, counterintuitive puzzle presented in this short video that models a fun, fictional situation in which a game is played with two number cubes to decide which of two people wins a...
