Students use the language associated with probability to discuss events including those with equally likely outcome. They collect data from a simple experiment and record in a frequency table: estimate probabilities based on this data

Fourth graders find and justify probabilities and approximations.  In this repeating experiment, 4th graders complete a worksheet after rolling die and tossing coins to determine outcomes.

Time to experiment with mathematics! Learners study experimental design and how randomization applies. They emphasize the difference between random selection and random assignment and how both are important to the validation of the...

Sixth graders experiment with dice, playing cards, pennies and computer-generated simulations to calculate probability. They use compiled data to make predictions.

Students investigate probability and the chance of an even happening. In this algebra lesson, students incorporate their knowledge of probability to solve problems and relate it to the real world. They learn to make decisions based on data.

Students collect experimental data and record it on a frequency table. After accessing an Internet coin toss simulation site they discover that repetition of an experiment may result in different outcomes. They identify the mutually...

Students are taught to search the internet for statistics concepts on sports. In this probability instructional activity, students collect data and use the calculator to graph and analyze their data. They graph and make predictions about...

Students investigate ratios and percents. In this algebra lesson, students explore the probability of an event occurring. They convert between ratios and percents as they solve the odds.

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...

Learners investigate probability through a game. In this data lesson plan, students use dice and predictions to explore how probability works.

It takes a lot of planning to achieve a random result! Learners compare results of random assignment, and conclude that random assignment allows results to be attributed to chance. They also realize the set of random means...

Use mathematics and simulations to investigate car crashes. IScholars test hypotheses involving car crashes. They collect, analyze, and display data from computer simulations to support or refute their hypotheses.

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

Students conduct experiments and graph their data. In this statistics lesson plan, students collect data and graph it on a coordinate plane. They analyze the data looking for patterns and they discuss their findings with the class.

Why do I have to do bean counting if I'm not going to become an accountant? The 24th installment of a 35-part module has the class conducting experiments using beans to collect data. Learners use exponential functions to model this...

Sixth graders investigate film making by creating a video about probability.  For this math visualization lesson, 6th graders create a presentation for their class demonstrating the probability of random events taking place in the...

Students conduct an experiment to determine how the change in ramp height affects the distances a ball is able to move a stationary cup. Data is collected from several trials and recorded and analyzed.

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.

Become a bean counter. Pupils use a fun activity to design and execute an experiment to determine whether they can grab more beans with their dominant hand or non-dominant hand. They use the class data to create scatter plots and then...

Careful, that light bulb is hot! Compare heat and light energy using a simple light bulb. The exercise addresses energy conservation and presents actual calculations to determine the most cost-effective light bulb.

Burgers and salads and sodas, oh my! Scholars use a menu to investigate the Fundamental Counting Principle. They create tree diagrams to illustrate the number of possible choices for each given scenario.

Fourth graders examine how to determine the probabilities or likelihood of outcomes. They complete trials to determine probability while using different manipulatives. They determine how games can be made fair or unfair in this unit of...

Learners will examine the physics of flight through using experimental inquiry. In this lesson, you'll introduce your students to the four forces of flight--drag, lift, thrust, and weight--through a variety of fun-filled flight...

You are what you eat, as they say! Are you more starch or more protein? Young scholars use their knowledge of each component to test different foods for their content. Using multiple indicators, individuals describe the protein and...
