Students collect data on different events and word problems. In this algebra activity, students use a table to organize their data. They graph their coordinate pairs on a coordinate plane and make predictions.

Students define Pascal's triangle and special notations used to represent nth elements. In this geometry lesson, students solve problems using permutations and combinations. They compare the formula for permutation to that of Pascal's...

Students calculate the normal distribution. In this statistics lesson, students use the normal distribution to estimate binomial distributions. They define when to use NP and n(1-p) to make approximations.

Students create scale drawings, and ultimately scale models, of real-world objects in this Math lesson plan about ratios, proportion, scaling factors, and cross products. The lesson plan includes ideas for cross-curricular extensions...

Students explore the concept of binomial distribution. In this binomial distribution lesson, students perform binomial distributions on a number of problems in this lecture lesson. Students find the mean and variance of binomial...

Students explain why for a group of n people, there are an equal number of possibilities for subgroups of size k (such that k < n) and size n - k.

Learners create a graph of tulip growth. In this data analysis lesson plan, students plant tulip bulbs and use graph paper to begin graphing data on the growth of the tulip.

Students explore the realm of mathematical probability while playing a game of chance. after constructing paper rockets, they fire it enough times to determine the probabilities of the rocket traveling past a marked distance and of it...

Young scholars define normal distribution as it relates to the bell curve. In this statistics lesson plan, students use the central tendencies of mean, median and mode to solve problems. They plot their data and draw conclusion from the...

Students test the hypotheses using p values. In this statistics instructional activity, students define and examine conditional probability. They test each statement for a true statement or a false statement, based on the sample size.

Students investigate the pros and cons of the lottery. In this algebra lesson plan, students use the formulas for permutation and combination to test their arguments about the lottery. They collect data about their argument and plot it...

Twelfth graders determine probabilities of real-life events such as life expectancies, winning a lottery ticket, and the break-even premium. They deduce what percent of markup is. Students are able to compare terms for financing a car...

Students learn about the importance and risk that stocks carry within a business. In this financial management lesson plan, students use role play and case scenario situations to decide what stocks are best for given companies. Based on...

Students explore the concept of line of best fit. In this line of best fit lesson, students find lines of best fit in examples about riding your bike home from school and dentistry. Students find two data points and find the line of best...

Students investigate teachers and gender preference. In this statistic lesson, students collect data of teachers calling on students to see if they are calling on one gender more than the other. Students examine the data and draw...

Young scholars decide when to use computation and permutation to solve problems. In this algebra lesson, students apply the correct method to solve complex set of events. They differentiate between dependent and independent events.

Students calculate fractions used in various food recipes in this Math lesson with real world applications. The lesson is geared towards upper elementary students but can be adapted for various levels of learners. State math standards...

Students study basic recursion by exploring patterns in the data they generate from two simple probability-based experiments. In the first, students flip a coin to discover how many times they must flip it before it lands on "heads."...

Young scholars perform basic matrices operations. For this algebra lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide matrices. They solve system of equations using matrices.

Students explore the concept of linear regression. In this linear regression lesson, students do a Barbie bungee activity where they collect linear data. Students plot their data using a scatter plot. Students determine a line of best...

Young scholars investigate the history of fighter kites and build their own.  In this aeronautics lesson, students discover how other countries utilize fighter kites and where they originated.  Young scholars create their own...

Ninth graders study the uses of spectroscopy and the operation of the Hubble space telescope.  In this astronomy instructional activity students complete a lab activity that includes graphing star color and temperature.

Learners study drag and how it affects a parachute in the sky.  In this parachutes lesson students build models and compare their drag. 

Students investigate how weight affects a parachute's rate of fall.  In this investigative instructional activity students test parachutes, average results and conclude what makes a faster descent.
