Students predict, using a fraction or a ratio, the possibility of an event happening and place that fraction or ratio on a Likelihood Line. In Part Two of the instructional activity, they conduct an experiment to determine theoretical...

Eighth graders investigate the concepts of probability while performing data analysis. They apply statistical methods in order to measure or predict some possible outcomes. The information is collected and graphed, 8th graders analyze...

Students define probability, and predict, record, and discuss outcomes from a random drawing, then identify most likely and least likely outcomes. They conduct a random drawing, record the data on a data chart, analyze the data, and...

Students list the sample space of an experiment. In this statistics lesson, students calculate the number of favorable outcome in a given sample space. They define and apply mutually exclusive events versus not mutually exclusive events.

Students investigate the concept of probability. They use example problems in order to measure the likelihood of various outcomes. The lesson plan includes dialogue to be used by the teacher during direct instruction. They also use class...

Help online friends Digger and Sprat from the BBC series to solve math problems! In a series of activities, your class will use data sets to calculate measurements, averages, means, and probabilities. The class completes worksheets and...

Students examine mathematicians' notion of fairness in games of chance. They work in pairs to perform three different experiments using macaroni and paper bags. They record their results on charts and compare their data.

In this television watching worksheet, students determine the amount of television they watch in a week by recording the names and times of the shows. They total the number of hours of watching time. You can use this with upper...

What does your class know about GMOs? Are they savvy to selective breeding? Challenge young minds to engineer the greatest crop of all time using a hands-on genetics unit. Learners discover the good and bad details of selective breeding,...

Learners practice multiplication concepts. In this multiplication instructional activity, pupils make arrays by using counters and solve various multiplication questions. They model arrays with counters for reinforcement.

The power to solve exponential equations lies in the resource. Scholars first learn how to solve exponential equations. An activity matching cards with equations, intermediate steps, and solutions strengthens this skill.

Learners study the concept of probability. In this probability lesson, students define probability and visit an interactive spinner website to learn about theoretical and experimental probability. Learners use pennies and work in pairs...

First graders use probability terminology to describe all possible outcomes of certain events. In this probability activity, 1st graders use counters to create a pretend "purse" of objects. Students create their own probability...

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

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...

Students practice and determine expected values of experiments as well as distributions of experiments. They find the area of rectangles and circles and determine elementary probabilities. Probability exercises begin with quarters and...

Students differentiate between theoretical and experimental probability. For this probability lesson, students create a puzzle and calculate the probability of an event occurring. They use problems dealing real life scenarios.

Students investigate the principles of probability that can be used to predict hereditary traits.

Third graders conduct experiment, collect data, predict, record, and discuss outcomes, and analyze data for probability.

Students collect data and make predictions. In this probability lesson plan, students perform experiments calculating the chance of an event occurring. They draw conclusion based on their data.

Students explore the concept of theoretical and experimental probability. In this theoretical and experimental probability instructional activity, students roll dice, draw marbles out of a bag, and draw a card from a deck of cards....

Students explore the concept of probability. In this probability lesson plan, students draw golf balls of different colors out of a bag and determine the probability of drawing a particular colored ball. Students make a number wheel with...

Students investigating the concept of probability practice the concept using a variety of different example problems. The lesson is delivered in a question and answer format. The frequency of answers is recorded in a data table for...

Students make bar graphs and identify items in the bar graphs as being likely, certain, or impossible. In this bar graphs lesson plan, students answer questions about the bar graphs using reasoning and communication skills.
