Students study probability and statistics by conducting an experiment, recording their results, and sharing data with classmates.

Middle schoolers explore number patterns. In this number patterns and probability math lesson, students work in groups to describe the patterns present in the first five rows of Pascal's Triangle, then write numbers to continue this...

Students explore the concept of probability.  In this probability lesson plan, students use area to determine probability.  Students use charts and spinners to help determine the probability of events such as flipping a coin or...

Students respond to survey questions, discuss results, brainstorm ways to represent survey information, and create table of class results. They find mean, range, and percentages, and create graph to display results.

Students will measure each other and record the data in inches. They will use a stem and leaf plot to display data and figure out the average height of the students in a class. The other statistical data will be collected like the mode...

Students evaluate word problems.  For this problem solving lesson, students are presented with word problems requiring graphing skills and students work independently to solve.

Young scholars identify the probability of an event occurring. Learners explore the complement of an event in finding why an event will not happen. They also explore basics of probability within algebra.

Seventh graders examine the uses of mean, median, and mode. They define key vocabulary terms, observe the teacher model examples of mean, median, and mode, and discuss real world examples of central tendency of sets of data. Students...

Students explore statistics by completing a graphing activity. In this data analysis lesson, students define a list of mathematical vocabulary terms before unpacking a box of raisins. Students utilize the raisins to plot data on a line...

Students explore reasons for varied salinity in bodies of water. For this geographical inquiry lesson, students use a variety of visual and written information including maps, data tables, and graphs, to form a hypothesis as to why the...

Students collect and plot data on a graph. For this statistics lesson, students analyze the distribution of a sample and predict the outcome. They find the line of best fit and discuss what would make the sample larger.

Students use scientific tools. In this Applied Science activity, students investigate the use of scientific tools to enhance observation and discovery. Students indicate how each tool assists scientific work.

Twelfth graders examine multiple aspects of statistics. In this mathematical reasoning lesson, 12th graders solve problems on probability, logarithms, exponential relationships and transforming rectilinear shapes. This resource contains...

Introduces your class to random processes in networks with an activity that uses information about disease spread using the susceptible, infectious, resistant (SIR) model. Participants determine whether a susceptible person becomes...

Students predict the-outcome of an event. In this algebra lesson plan, students compare and contrast the probability of an event occurring. They calculate the odds of a simple event and make estimation.

An outstanding lesson on teaching the basic shapes and polygon names to young geometers is here for you. In it, learners investigate the role of basic polygons in the strength of structures. They use geoboards, rubber bands, streamed...

Study the difference between mass and weight. Your math group will compare the weight of an item to the amount of space that it uses. They'll then use conversion factors to find the difference between kilograms and pounds. Essential...

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

Students calculate the probability of an event occurring. In this probability lesson, students differentiate between independent, dependent or compound events. They find the range of the data.

Students differentiate between a meteor and meteorite. They participate in an experiment to discover how the size and weight of an object determines the size of the impact crater. They utilize their math skills by measuring with a ruler...

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

Students explore circumference and diameter. In this math instructional activity, students apply their knowledge of circumference and diameter to solve mathematical riddles. Students apply this knowledge to find circumference and...

Students survey the class and graph the results. In this graphing and data collection lesson, students conduct a survey to see where their shirts were produced. Individuals use software to graph the results and create a written...
