How many different outfits can you make with what you have in your closet? The Fundamental Counting Principle can help you find an answer! Learners find totals using the Fundamental Counting Principle with problems that can have...

Count the benefits of using the resource. The second installment of a 21-part module focuses on the fundamental counting principle to determine the number of outcomes in a sample space. It formalizes concepts of permutations and...

Students find the number of possible arrangements of several objects by using the Basic Counting Principle. In this math lesson, students divide into groups and determine the number of possible sandwiches which can be made given certain...

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.

Life's not fair, but dice games should be. After playing a two-person game with a pair of dice, scholars investigate the fairness of the game. They consider the number of possible outcomes using the fundamental counting principle and...

Learners define Pascal's triangle and special notations used to represent nth elements. For this geometry lesson, students solve problems using permutations and combinations. They compare the formula for permutation to that of Pascal's...

Students identify the different outcomes given a situation. In this algebra lesson, students calculate the possible outcome using the counting principle. They compare and analyze patterns to make their predictions.

Learners practice counting using a website "Let's Count". They point to each object and count and pull down a tab to check their answers.

Choose to supplement your probability unit with this resource and you won't be disappointed with the outcome. Teach young mathematicians to organize information using tree diagrams and lists in order to determine the possible outcomes of...

Discover how combinations are different from permutations. In the third installment of a 21-part module, scholars learn how to determine combinations of objects. They learn to distinguish between situations where order is important and...

For this combination worksheet, students draw Venn Diagrams, they determine the number of combinations of a particular event using tree diagrams or the fundamental counting principle. This one-page worksheet contains approximately eight...

Counting is not all it adds up to be — sometimes it involves multiplying. The lesson introduces permutations and combinations as ways of counting, depending upon whether order is important. Pupils learn about factorials and the formulas...

Your youngest mathematicians skip count by 2's, 5's, and 10's as they sing along to a Hap Palmer song that helps them remember the patterns. Students practice in whole group and then individually with the worksheet provided, using the...

Students define the counting principle and how it relates to integers. In this algebra lesson plan, students add and subtract using the addition and multiplication principles. They solve problems using combination and permutations.

Proving triangles are similar is often an exercise in applying one of the many theorems young geometers memorize, like the AA similarity criteria. But proving that the criteria themselves are valid from basic principles is a great...

Students determine an appropriate numerical representation of a problem situation, including roots and powers. They determine an appropriate number of digits to represent an outcome. Pupils are asked to determine how many years it...

High schoolers explore the Fundamental Counting Principle and tree diagrams.  In this secondary mathematics lesson, students choose three pictures of clothing forma a catalog and create as many outfits as possible.  High...

Students identify ways in which the principles and subject matter of other disciplines taught in school, specifically math, are interrelated with those of music.

Young investigators conduct an experiment using the scientific method. They see how many drops of water fit on a coin; have them conduct several different trials. This involves making a hypothesis, looking at controls, and introducing...

Students explore money as it applies to salary, paychecks, and taxes. In this essential mathematics activity, students explore how math is used in various careers, how income takes are calculated and other important life lessons in math.

Did you know you can send a message using only zeroes and ones? This interactive resource presents an introduction to binary numbers. Through code cards, pupils learn to convert binary numbers to decimal numbers.

Is there a relationship between height and the number of siblings? Classmates collect data on their heights and numbers of brothers and sisters. They apply statistical methods to determine if such a relationship exists.

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.

Students explore the concept of probability.  In this probability activity, students create a video, poster, or podcast explaining what experiments, sample space, events, and outcomes are in relation to probability.  Students...
