Connect ratios, probability, and combination outcomes with a challenging activity idea. It guides your learners through probability of an event as fractions or ratios, on a number line, and with correct vocabulary. The class will be...

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...

Scholars create and perform experiments attempting to answer Buffon's Coin problem. They discover the relationships between geometry and probability, empirical and theoretical probabilities, and area of a circle and square.

Upper elementary and middle schoolers work with the concept of probability. They are introduced to the concept of chaos. Learners graph and analyze using a line plot, work with mean, and are introduced to the concept of variance.

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

Students practice skills involving statistics and probability by making predictions on number of each color candy in one pound bag of M&Ms. They record both guesses and actual quantities, calculate percentages, and create bar graphs...

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...

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...

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

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...

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

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

Students reason mathematically as they solve problems dealing with probability of an even occurring. In this probability lesson, students differentiate between different rankings of candidates running for leadership. They identify...

Three days of race car design and driving through the classroom while guessing probability could be a third graders dream. Learn to record car speed, distances traveled, and statistics by using calculation ranges using the mean, median,...

Give young mathematicians a chance to demonstrate their understanding of basic probability with this series of worksheets. Presented with different situations involving dice and decks of cards, students must correctly determine the...

Your learners probably will enjoy practicing a variety of concepts as they work through these eight probability worksheets. The first few worksheets emphasize basic probability using cards, the months in a year, and the number...

From understanding stock market performance and return on investment to identifying the costs and benefits of credit and avoiding debt problems, this is an absolute must-have resource for financial planning and literacy.

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...

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...

A helpful and versatile worksheet requires young mathematicians to analyze data in order to create graphs and answer questions. Additionally, it prompts learners to find the mean, median, mode, and range of some of the data sets.

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.

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

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,...
