Introduce learners to set of complete instructions that describe how to build a magnetometer that works just like the ones professional photographers use to predict auroras. The diagrams are wonderfully descriptive, and the written...

Learners, after reading "The Button Box" by Margarette S. Reid, analyze real-world data by surveying a sample space. They predict the generalization onto a larger population utilizing calculators and computers. Students total categories,...

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...

Statisticians analyze different samples to find independent and dependent events. In this probability instructional activity, pupils predict the outcome and then calculate the real outcome. They create a tree diagram to help predict the...

Learners collect and plot data on a graph. In this statistics lesson, students analyze the distribution of a sample and predict the outcome. They find the line of best fit and discuss what would make the sample larger.

Young scholars gather high and low temperature readings through email. In this temperature graphing lesson, students use a spreadsheet to input data for a graph. young scholars interpret the graphs to compare and contrast the data from...

Ninth graders investigate the concept of probability. They use a clear objective that is a visual cue for what is required for the lesson. They apply the basic practices of probability to real life like situations.

Students explain why for a group of n people, there are an equal number of possibilities for subgroups of size k (such that k < n) and size n - k.

Sixth graders use a video and the internet to determine whether a game is fair or unfair. In this probabilities lesson plan, 6th graders determine the fairness of a game based on the probabilities of the outcomes.

Students calculate the probability of an event occurring. In this statistics instructional activity, students calculate the outcome using combination and permutation. They differentiate between-theoretical and experimental probability.

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...

Seventh graders examine force and motion. In this seventh grade mathematics/science instructional activity, 7th graders collect and analyze data regarding the use of an atlatl to throw a spear. Students describe and analyze the motion...

High schoolers engage in a lesson that is concerned with the concepts related to probability. They review the key properties of statistics involved in the measurement of probability that includes mean, median, and mode. The lesson...

With a set of 15 chips and a number line, learners predict what sums may occur with the rolling of two dice. When their sum comes up, they remove one of the chips from their number line with the objective of being the first to remove...

Students collect and identify micrometeorites from space. Students create collection devices and retrieval methods for matter. They prepare slides and view particles found. Students discuss where the identifiable particles originated...

Students use data from simulations to make theoretical generalizations. They discuss possible relationships between several given events and gain understanding about their own mathematical intuition about likelihood.

This lesson plan is an investigation of soil properties, particularly texture, color and space for air and water. Student inspect soil samples found in their locale, perform several tests to determine different properties, and involves a...

Pupils investigate the solar system and what makes a planet habitable. They complete an online Webquest, simulate a NASA training program online, take an online quiz, answer discussion questions, and locate newspaper articles about the...

Seventh graders explore the concept of collecting data. In this data collection lesson, 7th graders survey others about their environmental habits. Students graph their data.

Seventh graders begin learning about compound events by considering independent events. They will consider everyday objects with known probabilities. Students will represent sample spaces using lists, tables, and tree diagrams in order...

Seventh graders will be able to represent the sample space of compound events, and calculate the probability of events using their sample space.

Learn and practice the concept of sample spaces. Features include a teacher resource page.

The task is intended to address standards regarding sample space, independence, probability distributions and permutations/combinations. Aligns with S-CP.A.1.

This lesson plan asks students to find all the possible outcomes from a compound event. Students will create a powerpoint, booklet, or foldable to demonstrate their understanding of the methods for solving compound events. It also...
