Middle schoolers research topics on the internet where probability is relevant. Students study statistics and probability concepts by looking at practical questions that arise in professional sports.

Learners investigate measurement through the use of literature through this series of lessons.

Young scholars solve problems using the law of sine and cosine. In this precaclulus lesson, students learn the law of DeMoivre's Theorem and Heron's theorem. They use both theorems to solve problems.

Students recognize patterns in a numerical sequence, create new patterns and predict outcomes to established sequences.

Students consider probability problems with unexpected and surprising answers.

Students see how division is used to help solve probability problems. They use tables as data structures where they are used to count outcomes and to compute probabilities. Students use games to help solve probability problems.

Students explore sampling with and without replacement. They explore the effects on the probability of drawing a desired object. Students examine probability and the difference between sampling with and without replacement.

Your learners will examine probability through experiments and dice games. Using a computer, your class will perform simple experiments to collect and analyze data to determine the probability of different experimental results. Students...

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.

Students collect real data on sound. In this algebra lesson, students use a CBL and graphing calculator to observe the graph created by sound waves. They draw conclusion about the frequency of sound from the graph.

Students define a plane and a solid shape. For this geometry lesson, students compare and contrast different geometric shapes as they relate to solids. They name the geometric solids based on their sides and edges.

Pupils explore number relationships by participating in a data collection activity. In this statistics instructional activity, students participate in a role-play activitiy in which they own a scrap material storefront that must...

Learners problem solve to find the probability of each tree in a small forest to catch fire. In this probability lesson plan, students use the computer to complete this application.

Students rotate through work stations where they compute problems of theoretical and experimental probability. In this probability lesson plan, students use simulations of a lottery system.

Learners practice measuring items. In this measurement lesson, students read the book Measuring Penny and create their own system of measurement. Learners measure various items in the classroom, using their creative measurement system.

Students solve story problems using a spreadsheet in combination with various problem-solving strategies. Working in teams of three, students create attempt to solve a story problem using three different methods; using manipulative,...

Students use the Pythagorean Theorem to explore sailboat design. In this Pythagorean Theorem lesson, two sides of a triangular sail are measured, and the theorem is used to calculate the third side. A worksheet, bulletin board design,...

Second graders graph M & M's by color. In this graphing lesson plan, 2nd graders first predict how many of each color they think are in a handful of M & M's. Then they graph the amounts of each color on a computer program....

Students investigate graphing. In this graphing lesson, students survey the class and create graphs to reflect the data collected.

Students, after getting information from the past baseball season off the Internet, calculate an attendance-to-win ratio for each of the 28 major league teams and then study the results to see if winning always leads to good attendance.

Students study probability and statistics by conducting an experiment, recording their results, and sharing data with classmates.

Sixth graders investigate how colors, objects and geometric shapes have been used symbolically in art during specific time periods. They use this information to create symbolic artwork and write a descriptive/informational piece...

Pupils, review the techniques and different types of data analysis as well as how they are expressed, identify why facts and data are needed in conclusion of a questionnaire. The concepts of qualitative and quantitative data are covered...

Students complete a set of CD-ROM's to introduce them to the flight program at NASA. In groups, they research a topic related to flight and put their information on a CD-ROM. To end the lesson, they share their material with other...
