The video series shows students the relevance of statistics in real-world settings. The resource includes 26 half-hour videos. Topics include normal distributions, probability, random variables, experimental design, and describing data.

Students use probability to determine how likely it is for each tree in a small simulated forest to catch on fire.

Use our interactivity to simulate picking up a bow and some arrows and trying to hit the target a few times. Can you work out the best settings for the sight? This activity gives an opportunity to gather and collate data, and to test...

This lesson introduces learners to experimental and theoretical probability using spinners and trials with pennies. Students also research careers that involve probability, and create a video presentation. It provides an assessment and...

Teachers can find ideas for their probability lesson plans here. For example, there is an interdisciplinary unit dealing with disabilities and probability as well as one using a field trip to Sea World.

This interesting article explains gambling (both horse racing and casinos) in terms of probability. It takes a common sense approach, instead of a mathematical approach, to the topic.

In this video, explore the odds of winning the Powerball lottery and learn what few people realize about their chances of winning: they are miniscule. In the accompanying classroom activity, students create simple lottery models to help...

Introduction to Probability is a resource that provides assessment and teacher tutorials that focus on mathematic concepts such as probability, outcomes, events, probability distribution, laws, values and odd.
