Roll the dice with this multimedia math lesson on probability. After first viewing a series of three short videos explaining probability, independent events, and dependent events, young mathematicians complete a set...

All hail the king! Young mathematicians put their skills to the test as they strive to become the king of math.

MAD about statistics? In the seventh chapter of an eight-part seventh-grade workbook series, learners develop probability models and use statistics to draw inferences. In addition, learners play games and conduct experiments to determine...

Young mathematicians fold and flick their way to a deeper understanding of statistics with a fun, hands-on math unit. Over the course of four lessons, students use paper footballs to generate data as they learn how to create line...

Students gather statistics to include in their research. In this statistics lesson, students investigate how to incorporate statistics into research and other readings besides math. They collect data based on other topics, analyze the...

Scholars apply prior knowledge of statistics to write a conclusion. They summarize using correct academic language and tell the story of the data.

Students explore energy production by participating in a class discussion. In this renewable energy lesson, students discuss the differences between solar, coal, wind and fossil fuel energy sources and why some are better for the...

Sixth graders explore and discuss the effectiveness of magnets in different situations. In this math lesson, 6th graders discuss rate and graphs after exploring with magnets using different restrictions on the magnets. They analyze their...

Young mathematicians study probability. In this math lesson, learners calculate odds, and convert those into percentages of probability. Fractions are also used, making this lesson quite rich in some of the more difficult conversions...

Young mathematicians construct and analyze patterns of association in bivariate data using scatter plots and linear models. The sixth chapter of a 10-part eighth grade workbook series then prompts class members to construct and...

Playing with matches (unlit, of course) becomes an engaging learning experience in this fun instructional unit. Teach pupils how to apply properties of exponential functions to solve problems. They differentiate between quadratic and...

Fifth graders complete activity pages. In this operations and problem solving lesson, 5th graders use the Internet to gather baseball statistics, solve problems and convert units.

Fourth graders analyze statistics of Native Americans by creating graphs.  In this data analysis instructional activity, 4th graders define different statistical terms and practice finding those statistics from groups of numerical...

Young scholars analyze the number of times each letter in the alphabet is used in the names of the states. In this statistics lesson plan, students create a stem and leaf plot, box and whisker plot and a histogram to analyze their data.

Congratulations, you've just hit the word problem jackpot! Covering an incredible range of topics from integers and fractions, to percents, geometry, and much more, this collection of worksheets will keep young mathematicians...

High schoolers are able to identify the characteristics of a variety of graphs (i.e. bar graph, line graph, pie graph, scatter plot, population pyramids, etc.) They recognize how the type of data to be presented plays a role in choosing...

Few things can motivate children to learn like the promise of a sweet and tasty treat. Given a bag of M&M®s, Skittles®, or other colorful candy, students first predict the contents of the bag before counting the pieces,...

Students define terms and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, students plot their data using bar and line graphs. They analyze their data after they graph it and apply the results to the Great Depression.

Students define random sample and complete surveys. In this algebra activity, students create surveys and define the way people analyze these results. They discuss random sample as it relates to the Great Depression and come up with...

Students investigate polling. In this statistics lesson, students collect data-on polling and graph their data on a coordinate plane. They identify biased and non-biased polling.

Use a box of raisins to help introduce the concept of data analysis. Learners collect, analyze and display their data using a variety of methods. The included worksheet takes them through a step-by-step analysis process and graphing.

Students explore probability by using games based on probable outcomes of events. They name all of the possible outcomes of an event and express the likelihood of such an event occurring.

Here is a turnkey lesson that walks young statisticians through the development and uses of conditional probability. From dice games to surveys, Venn diagrams to frequency tables, the class learns how a given can effect the overall...

Learners collect and analyze data. For this statistics lesson, students display their data using excel. They plot the data on a coordinate plane and draw conclusion from their data.
