Statistical Inference Teacher Resources

Students collect information and use a line to represent it. In this algebra lesson plan, students investigate real world data to see if it makes a line. They graph the line comparing the relationship of the x axis with that of...

Pupils analyze graphs for specific properties. In this algebra lesson, students solve equations and graph using the TI calculator. They find the different changes that occur in each graph,including maximum and minimum.

Students explore their options in stocks. In this algebra lesson, students create a portfolio for their future in stocks. they discuss their choices with a broker and presents their portfolio to the class.

Students collect data on calorie intake. In this algebra lesson, students use the collection of data to make better eating decisions. They investigate the nutritional value in food using a graph and draw conclusion from their findings.

Eighth graders investigate the Vietnam War. In this Vietnam War lesson, 8th graders research the escalation of the war during Lyndon Johnson's presidency. Students also explore the domestic programs that Johnson promoted. Students...

Sstudents explore and analyze the properties of geometric areas.  In this geometry lesson, sstudents use technology to simulate spinners and dartboards in order to fing areas of circles and sectors of circles and compare and...

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

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 use probability to determine how likely it is for each tree in a small forest to catch on fire.

Students use stickers and graph paper to map cricket movement.

Students compare and contrast the visible structures of three insects based on photographs. They differentiate characteristics of crane flies, ants, and wasps then create a simple classification system.

Students interpret data they receive from the media, discuss possible misinterpretation of data from the media and correctly respond to the misconception quiz question.

Twelfth graders compare and contrast the role of lawyers in Japan and the United States. After viewing movies and television shows, they make guesses about the justice system in the United States. They answer discussion questions and...

Students investigate how to make a good parachute. In this physics lesson, students observe the motion of parachutes as it falls and measure the time. They collect data and calculate the average descent time for each canopy shape.

Students participate in a challenge to construct a rotation sensor with the highest degree of accuracy and repeatability. They conduct computer analysis of their sensor using repeated trial.

Young scholars develop and conduct a survey for their inventors unit. They create a five question survey and tally the survey results, and create a graph using Microsoft Word and Graph Club 2.0.

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 investigate the concept of a macroinvertebrate. They observe the presence of increases or decreases in population in order to test for factors that contribute to the extinction of a species. Students predict the likelihood...

Fifth graders plan a budget for a camping trip. They use a spreadsheet to organize the budget and word processing justification for their choices.

Students play a probability game, then design and complete a probability problem concerning changing odds.

Students analyze the data from questionnaires to prepare a report. They distribute the report via e-mail or through a report published on a Web page to those who participated.

Fourth graders study junk mail to learn the techniques that advertisers use to attract and hold a person's attention.

Fourth graders, in groups, explore recurring historical and geographical themes.

Fourth graders view a teacher-made PowerPoint presentation on how photoelectric devices work, and then they answer FCAT-like questions on the material presented. They answer questions about what they viewed in an assignment imbedded in...
