In this six page series of learning exercise, students answer short answer questions about a variety of topics. The six topics covered in this packet are: Experimental Design (4 questions), Probability Distributions (3 multiple choice...

Are you looking for a comprehensive review that addresses the Common Core standards for geometry? This is it! Instruction and practice problems built specifically for standards are included. The material includes geometry topics from...

An informative video and handout provide the basic information needed to reflect any pre-image across either of the axes on the coordinate plane. The printed resource provides a preview of reflecting across lines other than an axis....

How many ways can you arrange two six-hole Legos? Scholars practice their understanding of combinations as they investigate this question. As they create a plan, they develop a specific definition of a combination.  

In this probability worksheet, students solve complementary probability word problems with 4 problems in them. Students complete 2 problems.

In this mutually exclusive probability instructional activity, students solve for the probability of sixteen mutually exclusive events.  A short explanation is provided.  Additionally students can find hints and check their...

In this probability instructional activity, learners answer nine questions about the fairness of games. Students determine if a game is fair or not. They list outcomes and find ones' chances of winning.

For this probability worksheet, students cut out 3 color cards and place them in a bag. Kids pick a card out of the bag 8 times, putting the card back each time. Students record their results on a bar graph.

Were your chances of surviving the sinking of the Titanic better if you were a first-class passenger?  Capture learners' attention with actual historical data to find the answer. They use two-way tables to calculate conditional and...

Can survival rates on the Titanic be explained by the "women and children first" policy or did rescue procedures favor the wealthy? Use actual historical data to explore conditional probability and independent events with your class....

This short probability question may look simple at first, but it is actually quite complex! Learners must understand independent events in context and must take into account several different scenarios. Use as an individual assignment...

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...

In this Algebra II activity, 11th graders compare and contrast experimental probability and theoretical probability. The two page activity contains explanation of topic, worked examples, and seven practice problems. Answers are not...

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...

Put the better archer in a box. The performance task has pupils compare the performance of two archers using box-and-whisker plots. The resource includes sample responses that are useful in comparing individuals' work to others.

Display data over a larger interval. The fourth segment in a 22-part unit introduces histograms and plotting data within intervals to the class. Pupils create frequency tables with predefined intervals to build histograms. They describe...

Learners explore the meaning of groups formed through permutations and combinations with an activity that asks individuals to determine the total number of pupils needed to guarantee that at least one pair has the same initials....

In this problem solving activity, students determine which spinner will most frequently land on a color choice of a color wheel. In this coloring and multiple choice activity, students will answer two questions.

Follow-up a physical science lesson with a reading passage that connects sports to force. Readers respond to six short answer questions that requires them to use the text as a basis for the answers.
