Ninth graders investigate probability through games. In this probability instructional activity, 9th graders discuss sample space and distribution. They collect and analyze data using graphing.

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...

I always knew there was a connection between art and math, and this lesson proves it. Fifth graders will use what they know about ratios and percents to design art inspired by Polynesian kapa cloth. A grid, specific guidelines, and the...

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...

Evaluate young mathematicians' understanding of area and perimeter with this series of three assessment tasks. Challenging students to not only calculate the area and perimeter of irregular shapes, but to explain in writing their...

Young scholars demonstrate how to find the probability of events. In this probability lesson, students use colored tiles in a paper bag and randomly select one at a time to record the probability.

How many Calories one needs on a daily basis is dependent on a number of factors including gender, height, and activity level. In the third of seven lessons about energy and food, young nutritionists calculate the number of Calories...

Looking for a good lesson on counting and sorting? This lesson is worth a look! In this classification lesson, learners sort buttons by color, shape, shiny verses not shiny, or number of holes.

Students list the sample space of an experiment. In this statistics lesson, students calculate the number of favorable outcome in a given sample space. They define and apply mutually exclusive events versus not mutually exclusive events.

Students collect data and analyze it. In this statistics lesson, students make predictions using different outcomes of trials.

Here is a good lesson plan which invites learners to practice measurement using standard and nonstandard measuring tools. In this measurement lesson plan, learners work with length, width, height, and area. They use standard and...

Students find the volume of rectangular prisms.  In this volume lesson, students use a formula to find the volume of rectangular prisms.  They discuss the definition of volume and draw rectangular prisms.  Students...

Statisticians analyze different samples to find independent and dependent events. In this probability lesson, pupils predict the outcome and then calculate the real outcome. They create a tree diagram to help predict the probability of...

Young scholars 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.

Learners identify units of measurement. In this measurement lesson, students predict the length and width of their hands and feet. Learners discuss their findings and if their predictions were correct.

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

Sixth graders use a video and the internet to determine whether a game is fair or unfair. In this probabilities lesson plan, 6th graders determine the fairness of a game based on the probabilities of the outcomes.

Students collect and plot data on a graph. In 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 calculate the probability of an event occurring. In this statistics lesson, students calculate the outcome using combination and permutation. They differentiate between-theoretical and experimental probability.

Students calculate the chance of an event occurring. In this statistics lesson, students use combination and permutation to calculate the probability of an event occurring. They differentiate between theoretical and experimental...

Students collect data and make predictions. In this probability lesson, students perform experiments calculating the chance of an event occurring. They draw conclusion based on their data.

Fractions can be tricky. Why not have kids think of fractions like they think of eighth, quarter, and half notes? In teams, the class creates four-measure patterns with their percussion instruments. They need to explain their rhythm...

Students identify letter names of notes, demonstrate simple rhythms, and use that knowledge to play short melodic phrases using the educational software called BugBand. Handouts and a quiz to assess student achievement are included.

Students broaden their outlook on geometry in their everyday environment. They explore the properties of parallel lines and parallelograms and discover ways to prove the existence of parallel lines and discuss the concept of parallel lines.
