Games and activities are wonderful for igniting interest in nearly any topic. With a pair of dice, your class will practice their basic math and social skills at the same time. Learners battle it out to see who can roll only odds or only...

Put on your thinking caps because middle school math has never been more interesting in this huge resource full of thought provoking questions. Written as a newsletter, the resource has 10 two-page newsletters with a variety of...

A 27-page packet full of math games and activities builds on algebra, measurement, geometry, fractional, and graphing skills. Young mathematicians participate in math games collaboratively, promoting teamwork and skills practice.

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...

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...

Run, gingerbread men! During the board game, four gingerbread men race to discover which one finishes first. Scholars take note of the game's results using a tally chart and bar graph for all to observe the frequency of the winning...

Here is a very clever way of teaching young mathematicians the concept of probability. A spinner is made that has two outcomes, yes and no. A chart is made that has two columns that are labeled Correct and Incorrect. The teacher asks a...

Enhance fourth graders' math vocabulary with 17 word cards and their definitions. Learners focus on terms that deal with graphing, such as y-axis, coordinates, plot, and ordered pair in the last set of math vocabulary cards. 

Looking for vocabulary cards to expand your mathematicians' academic language? A set of 19 vocabulary cards focuses on terms dealing with probability, fractions, and decimals. Each sheet has a word card and a definition card.

Happy Pi Day! This collection of games, experiments, and activities leads participants through an exploration of the many aspects and attributes of that mysterious quantity, pi. Activities range from using statistical...

Students examine mathematicians' notion of fairness in games of chance. They work in pairs to perform three different experiments using macaroni and paper bags. They record their results on charts and compare their data.

Upper graders examine the concept of probability. They collect data and create a bar graph. They must interpret the data as well. Everyone engages in hands-on games and activities which lead them to predict possible outcomes for a...

For some, probability is a losing proposition. The assessment item requires an understanding of fraction operations, probability, and fair games. Pupils determine the fractional portions of an event. They continue to determine whether...

Learners apply their understanding of luck to a probability experiment. They play a game of Pass the Pigs to determine the probability of a specific outcome. Using analysis for their data, pupils declare the measures of center, dot...

Whether your pupils need extra help or they simply need to practice their basic computation skills, this packet will do the trick. It includes a written rationale, answer key, and over 10 pages of double-digit addition and subtraction...

When choosing items probability can sometimes play a key role. Your mathematicians will explore this probability and how to calculate the values based on the scenario they have. Use this instructional activity along with the additional...

Students practice addition facts, record data, and construct a bar graph. In this probability lesson, students participate in a board game in which bicycles move towards a finish line based on players completing addition problems. Dice...

Students explore the concept of probability. For this probability lesson, students find the probability of certain situations including spinning a spinner, drawing marbles from a bag, and rolling a dice.

Students apply the concepts of an event occurring to playing a game. In this probability lesson plan,students differentiate between experimental and theoretical probability.

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.

Young scholars explore the concept of probability. They calculate the probability of an event happening and graph their results. Students determine the probability of winning a sweepstakes. They construct a bar graph to represent all the...

Middle and high schoolers have a clarified definition of probability, they explore about outcomes in probability and how to calculate experimental probability. They use computers to learn about probability.

First graders use probability terminology to describe all possible outcomes of certain events. In this probability lesson, 1st graders use counters to create a pretend "purse" of objects. Students create their own probability...

This short probability question may look simple at first, but it is actually quite complex! Learners must understand independent events in context and must take into account several different scenarios. Use as an individual assignment...
