Put those numbers to work by completing a statistical study! Pupils finish the last two steps in a statistical study by summarizing data with displays and numerical summaries. Individuals use the summaries to answer the statistical...

Middle and high schoolers collect and analyze their data. In this statistics lesson plan, pupils analyze graphs for linear regression as they discuss the relationship of the function to the number of rubber bands and the distance of the...

Students define probability. They determine outcome from a given situation based on simple probability. Students create experimental data using a coin and a number cube. They write how theoretical and experimental probability are different.

Young scholars design models to simulate actual events using a tale of random digits. They estimate the likelihood of a particular outcome using results of simulation. Students investigate the uses of statistical methods to analyze data.

Students play a probability game, then design and complete a probability problem concerning changing odds.

Students access web site and record various population statistics pertaining to a county in the USA of their choice. They use this data to set up and solve ratios. They compare data to make meaning of the numbers.

Fourth graders investigate the mathematical concept of probability. They determine the given mean of a data set found when rolling dice. The results of the experiment are displayed using a bar graph. The teacher does an example before...

Young scholars 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.

Students use probability as a game strategy.

Students explore probability by participating in an experimental activity. In this number statistics lesson, students collaborate in groups in which they move a game piece around a board. Students calculate their probability of landing...

Students calculate the probability of an event occurring. In this probability lesson, students differentiate between independent, dependent or compound events. They find the range of the data.

High schoolers explore, experiment and analyze the concept of using dummies in a car crash test. They collaborate in a series of tests designed to simulate what really happens in a two-car collision. Each student incorporates...

Students are able to identify the characteristics of a variety of graphs (i.e. bar graph, line graph, pie graph, scatter plot, population pyramids, etc.) They recognize how the type of data to be presented plays a role in choosing the...

Young scholars follow examples to study basic concepts of statistics. They work independently through the activities.

Third graders are introduced to statistical vocabulary. They complete an online activity that asks them to calculate the mean, median and mode for a set of data.

Students discuss which animal makes a better pet.  In this statistics lesson, students examine the factors that cause people to choose one animal over the other (cat or dog).  Students discuss their own opinions, and then view...

Explore how the study of diseases and epidemics can be comprehended from a mathematical perspective. Investigate finite geometric series, calculating threshold values, and statistical models of the spread of disease. How many makes it an...

Learners collect data from China's population growth and determine the mean, median, and mode from the data. In this data lesson plan, pupils determine probabilities and use them to make predictions.
