Learners discuss skyscrapers and listen as the teacher introduces the project. They use the Internet to perform research on one skyscraper. Students use information they gather to create a brochure of their building . They create an...

Third graders model the tag and recapture of bears and use proportions to estimate the population of the bears in their forest. This is a statistical sampling method used by scientists and naturalists to determine population numbers.

Students design models to simulate actual events using a random number generator on a calculator. They estimate the likelihood of a particular outcome using results of simulations. Answer Key included.

Students explore how the population decreased in native cultures.

Fourth graders build an explorer vehicle which they program through an obstacle course to enter the tomb or temple to discover artifacts.

Students working in small groups will build tractors. They must design a tractor that is able to pull various weights.

Fourth graders play a game to determine the likelihoods of different outcomes when rolling two number cubes. Students play a game to determine the likelihoods of different outcomes when rolling two number cubes.

Teacher-directed lesson plan focusing on data analysis, graphing, and probability. Lesson includes a video and engaging spreadsheet activities.

In this hands-on, technology-rich lesson, students will interpret data. The students will define words involving graphs, create a bar graph using M&M's, and post information from their findings on the internet. The students will also...

Students will simulate the probability of a forest fire then graphing the data.

The class will make a list of all of their classmates heights, ages in months, and shoe sizes. They will then use this data to create a human box-and-whisker plot. This lesson plan was created as a result of the Girls Engaged in Math and...

Third graders practice skills of addition, subtraction, word problems and graphing and develop their own theories about why meat consumption is so different across the world.

The object of this project is for students to learn how to find univariate and bivariate statistics for sets of data. Also, the students will be able to determine if two sets of data are linearly correlated and to what degree. The...

Explore color distribution of M&M candies using this detailed lesson plan. An engaging integrated lesson that requires understanding of spreadsheets and formulas, and logical reasoning. Links to related websites.

In this self-directed activity, students use graphs and maps of lilac phenology data to determine the best time to host a lilac blossom festival in their area. A handout with everything the student needs to complete this lesson is...

The students will engage in the process of statistical data comparing data using tables and scatterplots. The students will compare data using measures of center (mean and median) and measures of spread (range). This lesson can be done...

Use random sampling to formulate, collect, and compare data from two populations. Written by Peter Banwarth of Oregon State University.

In this online lesson, students will survey students in their school to determine their favorite type of hand-held ice cream. Before performing the survey, students will make predictions about which ice creams they think will be the...
