Sixth graders explore agricultural issues using math and probabilities. In this agriculture lesson, 6th graders investigate real world situations in agriculture using math and probabilities.

Students calculate simple probabilities using mathematics then roll dice to test their predictions.

Learners calculate the probability of an event occurring. For this statistics lesson, students calculate the outcome using combination and permutation. They differentiate between-theoretical and experimental probability.

Sixth graders calculate the mean, median, and mode of candy M&Ms and find the percentage of each color. Once they complete the assignment, they compare their results with those of the candy company's percentages. As an extension,...

Students identify the structure and key parts of tables and charts. They determine which data is meanjngful and make comparisons with the data. They describe the scope of the AIDS plague throughout the world.

Students make bar graphs and identify items in the bar graphs as being likely, certain, or impossible. In this bar graphs lesson plan, students answer questions about the bar graphs using reasoning and communication skills.

Learners analyze data using bar graphs and the TI in this statistics lesson. They investigate quick polls and graph the data using different properties of statistics. This assignment requires a TI Navigator.

Students become familiar with determining probabilities.

Sixth graders examine the use of probability and compare it to actual real world results. In groups, they flip a coin a specific number of times while their other group members roll a set of dice the same amount of times as the coin. To...

Seventh graders investigate the concept of probability. They use the game of hangman to create engagement and context for conducting the lesson. They create a spreadsheet with data that is given. Students make predictions based on data.
