Explore how to compare and analyze different strategies. In the 20th installment of a 21-part module, scholars continue their analysis of decisions and strategies from the previous lesson. They then extend this concept to hypothesis...

All data is not created equal. Scholars examine the different types of studies and learn about the importance of randomization. They explore the meaning of causation and when it can be applied to data. 

A fun, engaging lesson is definitely in the cards for your future. Pupils explore a deck of playing cards in the fifth of six parts in the Statistics and Probability series to learn about its suits and the number of each card type. They...

In this business and statistics worksheet, students read real-life business problems, arrange data, and identify the probability method best used to determine the answer. They identify the type of random sample, draw stem-and-leaf plots,...

Students design models to simulate actual events using various random devices. They estimate the likelihood of a particular outcome using results of simulation. In addition, they simulate the births of three children to a using a coin.

Acquaint mathematicians to the concept of probability with a discussion about the results of a game. Then have them play a dice, card, spinner, or coin game and recording the number of wins vs. the number of tries on an interactive web...

Middle and high schoolers explore the concept of probability. In this probability lesson, learners conduct an experiment with a bag of marbles. Pupils draw marbles from a bag and determine the probability of drawing a particular color...

Students gather appropriate information for simple statistical analysis. Then they will calculate probability working with a piece of literature that makes this lesson ideal for teaching across the whole curriculum.

Young scholars respond to survey questions, discuss results, brainstorm ways to represent survey information, and create table of class results. They find mean, range, and percentages, and create graph to display results.

Learners analyze data using bar graphs and the TI in this statistics lesson. They investigate quick polls and graph the data using different properties of statistics. This assignment requires a TI Navigator.

Analyze data using technology. Middle schoolers design data investigations, describe data, and draw their own conclusions. Then they select the best type of graph, graph and interpret the data, and look for patterns in trends. They also...

Students perform simulation of video games as they explore statistics. In this algebra instructional activity, students relate concepts of statistics and data collection to solve problems. They decide their next step based on the...

Students calculate the chance of an event occurring. In this statistics lesson, students use combination and permutation to calculate the probability of an event occurring. They differentiate between theoretical and experimental...

Students use baseball cards to add up batting average and reinforce math skills. In this batting averages lesson plan, students use old baseball cards to practice different math skills and look at other baseball statistics.

Students participate in a variety of activities in order to understand the concept of probability. The students are engaged because of the application of The Multiple Intelligences Theory.

Students develop a list of possible outcomes as a method of finding probability related to a pizza statistics problems. They read the problems together as a class, brainstorm ways to solve the problem, and in partners solve the pizza...

Seventh graders compare experimental and theoretical probabilities.  For this comparing experimental and theoretical probabilities lesson, 7th graders discuss the theoretical probability of flipping a coin.  Students flip a...

Students explore how statistics can be interpreted in different ways.  For this probability lesson students complete a class lab activity then discuss their findings.

Students define and differentiate between experimental and theoretical probability. In this statistic lesson, students play the game "Monty Hall" and use probability to come up with the best strategies to play the game.

Learners identify different types of functions and units of measurements. In this statistics lesson, students will collect data, graph their data and make predictions about their data. They plot a linear regression graph.

This helpful lesson explores the probability in tossing a coin and throwing dice. Specifically, it looks at the probability of getting numbers that are significant to the game of craps, assuming that once the math is understood, most...

Future public health consultants are asked in a letter to help determine if a fictitious drug is causing birth defects in a population. They perform a simulation using beans and probability calculations to come to a conclusion. Note that...

Students investigate qualitative and quantitative data. In this statistics lesson, students gather data on heights and weights of people and graph the distribution. Students discuss the differences between qualitative and quantitative data.

Seventh graders investigate the concept of probability. They use the game of hangman to create engagement and context for conducting the lesson. They create a spreadsheet with data that is given. Students make predictions based on data.
