Students collect data, graph it, and use the data to find measures of central tendencies, and find probabilities.

Students collect data on different events and word problems. In this algebra instructional activity, students use a table to organize their data. They graph their coordinate pairs on a coordinate plane and make predictions.

Third graders investigate oceans. In this Earth science lesson plan, 3rd graders predict how much of the Earth's surface is covered by oceans. Students determine if their predictions are accurate by throwing a...

You're going to wish you had a watermelon for this lesson! Class members read about watermelons and make a salad in class to sample. They also perform estimates, measurements and calculations on a watermelon. They predict what percentage...

Fifth graders collect data and use charts and line plots to graph data. Through class surveys, 5th graders collect data concerning a particular subject. They graph their data using a line graph. Students make inferences and predictions...

Fourth graders conduct surveys to collect data. They analyze and interpret the data, then determine which type of graph is appropriate for the data. Students use the data to make predictions, discover patterns and draw conclusions...

In this Cartesian diver lab, learners explain using text and diagrams how the Cartesian diver works. Students evaluate ways in making their lab design better. Learners make predictions of how changing the variable would change the...

First graders explore counting and classification. They sort leaves, create graphs, write sentences for the data in the graphs, develop graphs for shapes, favorite animals, birthdays, and participate in a die prediction game.

Learners explore the greenhouse effect.  In this environment lesson plan, students describe how "ice out" affects animals and plants who live in a Maine lake.  Learners graph "ice out" data and make predictions about the...

Students collect data on population growth. In this statistics instructional activity, students graph their data and make predictions. They find the linear regression and the best fit line.

Learners calculate the equation of the line of best fit. In this statistics lesson, students create scatter plots and find the line of best fit going through their data. They make predictions and draw conclusions.

Students draw colored blocks from a bag and determine the probability of each color being drawn. Then they draw blocks from another bag in which the numbers of each color are unknown. They guess the number of each color included in the...

Students define probability. They determine outcome from a given situation based on simple probability. Students create experimental data using a coin and a number cube. They write how theoretical and experimental probability are different.

Students fill in a probability chart while attempting to catch candy with their non-dominant hands. They replicate the activity with a coin.

Students analyze divination and carry out experiments using a probability model. In this probability lesson plan, students review information about divination and predictions in various cultures. Students set up experiments to test...

Students collect data on baseball plays. In this statistics lesson, students graph their data and make predictions based on their observation. They calculate what the probability is that a favorable outcome would happen.

Middle schoolers investigate the concept of using box and whisker plots. They demonstrate how to use them to compute median, mode, and range. Students compare and contrast the complete and systematic processes use to solve problems. This...

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...

Seventh graders are introduced to the concept of box-and-whisker plots. A step-by-step process for creating a box-and-whisker plot is provided. The goal of the lesson is that students study the components of a box-and-whisker plot and be...

How did Mendel know which pea plants would demonstrate certain characteristics? Pupils explore the answer this question, among others, as they complete Punnet squares, research dominant and recessive traits, and explore hereditary...

Students apply reading strategies to improve understanding and fluency. They use their imagination and create their own short stories. They identify words as various parts of the story - including setting, character, problem, solution...

Students apply probability to real life situation. In this statistics lesson, students play poker and make predictions on what hand they will get next. They apply their knowledge of how probability works to make their predictions.

Seventh graders collect data and make predictions. In this geometry lesson, 7th graders work in tiers collecting data and plotting it. They make inferences and predictions about their collected data.

Students collect data and make a frequency table, change ratios into percents, and analyze data to make predictions.
