Fifth graders investigate data from maps to solve problems. For this data lesson, 5th graders study maps and collect data from each map. Students present their data in a variety of ways and calculate the mode, mean, median, and range.

John won the election, but by how much more? Your learners will calculate how many votes each candidate received in order to determine the difference. Use with other lessons provided in the series to practice different variations of this...

Students explore probability.  In this statistics/probability activity, students compare experimental and theoretical probability and use experimental probability to make predictions and conjectures.  Students explore the...

Seventh graders determine the fairness of various games.  For this determining the fairness of various games lesson, 7th graders use spinners, dice, and rock,paper, scissors to play various chance games.  Students determine if...

Students complete a math survey. In this math graphs lesson, students complete a survey about their favorite candy bars. Students create different kinds of graphs using Microsoft Excel to show their results.

Seventh graders are introduced to the concept of box-and-whisker plots. A step-by-step process for creating a box-and-whisker plot is provided. The goal of the lesson is that students study the components of a box-and-whisker plot and be...

In this math worksheet, students plot the mean, median, and mode for the colors of M and M candies by filling in the graphic organizer.

Students analyze divination and carry out experiments using a probability model. In this probability lesson plan, students review information about divination and predictions in various cultures. Students set up experiments to test...

Students demonstrate how to solve word problems. In this problem solving lesson, students use strategies such as drawing pictures, using counters, and making a table to justify how they solved the word problem.

Fourth graders construct bar graphs. In this graphing lesson plan, 4th graders create bar graphs in connection with the story, The Copycat Fish. After creating the initial graphs on paper, students use MS Excel to create graphs.

Fifth graders work in small groups of five or six to conduct a series of investigations. While recording the results using pencils on individual tally worksheets rotating to different stations and comparing results with the other...

First graders practice making logical predictions from information they are given.

Students investigate the concept of even change by participating in a coin flip activity. They research using the Internet to investigate the chance of giving birth to a boy.

Eighth graders are read the material that is printed in boldface type inside the boxes. Information in regular type inside the boxes and all information outside the boxes should not be read to them. They then find the mean, median,...

Learners make predictions based on survey results. They calcuate sample proportions. Students estimate the number of voters in their district preferring the democratic candidate using their sample results. They review sample proportions...

Students will work in teams of 2 to read and discuss a case study. For this probability lesson, students will learn the formula for finding the probability of two events occurring together. Students will learn the meaning of independent...

Students explore probability through cooperative group activities and interactive video technique.

Young scholars experiment with several chaotic simulation, they build a working definition of chaos. Students reinforce their knowledge of basic probability and percents. They are reminded of previous knowledge that is pertinent to...

Learners explore and complete a variety of activities demonstration probability. They make observations about the results of the activities. Students complete and discuss conditional probability. Also, learners draw conclusions about...

Third graders flip a dime and a quarter to record and predict the probability of possible outcomes.

Students define probability. They determine outcome from a given situation based on simple probability. Students create experimental data using a coin and a number cube. They write how theoretical and experimental probability are different.

Young scholars determine that knowledge of an event's outcome can affect the probability of the unknown outcome of an event that has already occurred.

Fourth graders investigate the mathematical concept of probability. They determine the given mean of a data set found when rolling dice. The results of the experiment are displayed using a bar graph. The teacher does an example before...

Ninth graders gain an application level understanding of probability, symmetry, and ratios and rates that exists in one's everyday environment relative to human genetics.
