Young mathematicians study probability. In this math lesson, learners calculate odds, and convert those into percentages of probability. Fractions are also used, making this lesson quite rich in some of the more difficult conversions...

Students explore basic probability.  In this Algebra II/Geometry lesson, students use modeling to solve basic probability problems involving real-life applications. 

Twelfth graders examine various ways probability is applied to daily situations. They use marbles and blocks to calculate the probabilities of picking certain colors. They also calculate the odds of picking a winning raffle ticket.

Sixth graders explore the concept of probability. In this probability lesson, 6th graders collaborate to collect spinner data based on the likelihood of spinning odd and even numbers. Students complete 2 other probability activities and...

Students investigate ratios and percents. In this algebra lesson, students explore the probability of an event occurring. They convert between ratios and percents as they solve the odds.

Learners investigate numerical data on a possible asthma epidemic. Using statistical information, students graph and figure ratios of the epidemic. They evaluate the mortality rate from severe smog in the 1950's in London.

Third graders verify the validity of Punnett squares. They simulate a real-world situation by drawing chromosomes from a paper bag and track the data.

Students examine a recent study of the JFK assassination. They review evidence provided by retired atmospheric chemist, Ken Rahn, and ballistics specialist and statistician, Larry Sturdivan, and determine whether or not they believe a...

Eighth graders participate in a instructional activity that is concerned with reviewing basic math concepts using the four operations. The activity is composed of a math game that is played by them.

Learners name the parts of a compass and comprehend the function of each part. They define paces and tallies and use them in a real world situation. Students are shown the proper use of radio terminology. They use a map and compass to...

Students are introduced to compass work. They name the parts of a compass. Students describe how the parts of a compass are used. They are shown the proper way to hold a compass. Students are shown that-a-way arrow and its purpose.

The Shodor Education Foundation provides this lesson plan to give learners an opportunity to connect probabilty and geometry. Students learn how to calculate probability, use geometry to solve probabilty problems, and, as an added bonus,...

The purpose of this lesson is to begin the process of helping students to learn the basic principles of probability. The students will also collect data, interpret data, and determine the fairness of the game rock, paper, scissors.This...
