Students apply central tendencies to given data. In this statistics instructional activity, students calculate the mean, median, and mode as it relates to their data. They collect data and graph it while identifying the way the numbers...

Eighth graders play a game to solve problems. In this exponents and scientific notations lesson, 8th graders play a game in small groups to move colored disks from location A to location C. Students identify recursive patterns to solve...

Students are able to identify the characteristics of a variety of graphs (i.e. bar graph, line graph, pie graph, scatter plot, population pyramids, etc.) They recognize how the type of data to be presented plays a role in choosing the...

Students listen to Jack and the Beanstalk and determine what they think are the most common words.  In this Jack and the Beanstalk lesson, students reread the story, count the words they chosen and graph those words. Students graph...

Middle schoolers identify and interpret various ways of expressing probability as a decimal, fraction, percent, or ratio. They solve problems based on probability as they apply to real world applications.

If you dropped a needle on a lined sheet of paper what is the probability that the needle will cross one of the lines on the page?  Surprise your class with how calculating this probability can approximate pi. This question is known...

Students create a variety of graphs. They count, sort, and classify M&M's by color and record data on a chart. They use data from the chart to create pictographs, bar graphs and circle graphs. They analyze data and determine...

Students experiment to determine if a game is fair, collect data, interpret data, display data, and state and apply the rule for probability. Students use a simple game for this experiment.

Sixth graders explore probability. They analyze a class chart and list the letters of the alphabet according to frequency. Using the data collected, they complete probability problems.

In this math activity, students read about the concept of permutations. They arrange the objects in a certain order and think of the possible combinations.

Students collect and plot data on a graph. In this statistics instructional activity, students analyze the distribution of a sample and predict the outcome. They find the line of best fit and discuss what would make the sample larger.

In this normal distribution activity, students find probability in four problems using the normal probability distributions.  Students should sketch the curve and shade the region.

In this probability worksheet, students solve 3 different problems related to determining the probability of something. First, they find the probability of each of the expressions shown in problem 1. Then, students determine how many...

Solving these percent problems is a matter of counting. Pupils find percents by counting the number of events that meet the criteria and the total number of possibilities. Participants create the ratio and convert it to a percent to...

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,...

This is a very strange but fairly amazing worksheet. You plug-in the number of problems, how you'd like them arranged, and if answers should be available and click retrieve. Like magic a worksheet to your specifications pops up. This...

Twelve division problems are presented for youngsters to practice with. All of them require the division of a four- or five-digit dividend by a two-digit divisor. Some will have remainders. There is probably not enough room for math...

Young scholars learn that heredity comes down to the flip of a coin with this cross-curricular math and science lesson. Using smiley faces as a model, learners toss coins to determine which dominant or recessive traits...

Eighth and ninth graders solve and graph 42 different problems that include writing various equations and graphing them on a grid. First, they create a table for each equation and graph it on a grid locating the x-and y-intercepts. Then,...

Explore the difference between stochastic and deterministic modeling through programming. First have the class write algorithms for relatively simple tasks using pseudocode. Use the Python 2.7 program app to simulate Mendel's Pea Pod...

Your AP Calculus learners probably have their ID numbers memorized, but have they tried graphing them? Pique your pupils' interest by asking each to create a unique polynomial function based on their ID numbers, and then analyze the...

Colorado would probably object if Wyoming enlarged its borders. Scholars use an interactive map to change the borders of U.S. states to see how angles change. They then answer questions about regular and irregular polygons.

There's nothing normal about an extraordinary resource. Scholars change the dimensions of a normal distribution using a slider interactive. Determining the area under the graph gives probabilities for different situations.

You would probably do anything for your Nana, including fixing her mistakes! Nana provided the wrong ratio to mix red and white paint, and she didn't realize it until after she mixed the paint. Your class now needs to figure out how to...
