The Real Meal Deal
Burgers and salads and sodas, oh my! Scholars use a menu to investigate the Fundamental Counting Principle. They create tree diagrams to illustrate the number of possible choices for each given scenario.

What Are the Chances?
Take a chance on an informative resource. Scholars conduct probability experiments involving coins and number cubes to generate data. Compiling class data helps connect experimental probability to theoretical probability.

What's Your Average? What Do You Mean? I'm More Than Just Average
Upper grade and middle schoolers collect data, analyze and interpret the data. This three-part activity should provide learners with a firm understanding about the differences between mean, median, and mode and how to perform the...

Numbers in a Name
What's in a name? Pupils create a data set from the number of letters in the names of classmates. Each group then takes the data and creates a visual representation, such as a histogram, circle graph, stem-and-leaf plot, etc.

What's the Chance?
Students study probability and statistics by conducting an experiment, recording their results, and sharing data with classmates.

Let's Take a Chance!
Students investigate probability and the chance of an even happening. In this algebra lesson, students incorporate their knowledge of probability to solve problems and relate it to the real world. They learn to make decisions based on data.

Why NP Min?
Students calculate the normal distribution. In this statistics lesson, students use the normal distribution to estimate binomial distributions. They define when to use NP and n(1-p) to make approximations.

What is a P-value?
Students test the hypotheses using p values. In this statistics lesson plan, students define and examine conditional probability. They test each statement for a true statement or a false statement, based on the sample size.

Remote Possibilities
Pupils collect data and analyze the data using a graph. In this statistics lesson plan, students use combinations and theoretical and experimental probability to analyze their data. They observe a remote controlled robot as they collect...

Assessing Normalcy
Students define normal distribution as it relates to the bell curve. For this statistics lesson, students use the central tendencies of mean, median and mode to solve problems. They plot their data and draw conclusion from the graphs.
Curated OER
Possible Outcomes
In this statistics worksheet, learners plot the possible statistical outcomes by examining the data and plotting the missing answer for the four problems.

Gender Issues through Chi-square Experiments
Students investigate teachers and gender preference. In this statistic lesson, students collect data of teachers calling on students to see if they are calling on one gender more than the other. Students examine the data and draw...
Curated OER
What's the Chance?
Students conduct probability experiments with dice and coins. They watch a video for a variety of situations where calculating the probability is complicated by total number of possibilities. They solve problems presented in the video.

Word Power
Fifth graders identify a set of data from a real world problem. In this statistics lesson, 5th graders identify the range, mode, median and mean using some manipulatives. They write words randomizing the letters.

Math in Society
Twelfth graders determine probabilities of real-life events such as life expectancies, winning a lottery ticket and the break-even premium. They apply how life-expectation tables are used to estimate the probability that an individual...

Statistics: Reading and interpreting production graphs
Students interpret and create different types of graphs. They analyze data from charts, develop a survey and design appropriate graphic illustrations and make a presentation.
