In this statistics and probability learning exercise, young statisticians solve and complete 13 different problems related to probability, percentages, and normal distributions. They consider data models, assumptions about the models,...

Is bigger really better? By the end of this lesson, learners will be able to apply formulas for computing the diameter of tires and wheel assemblies. Begin by showing a slide presentation that will review definitions for radius and...

Here's another great way to learn from the past. Released free-response questions provide a look into how concepts measured on the 2005 AP® Statistics Exam on Form B. Teachers and pupils review questions that cover concepts such as...

Don't be normal ... be exceptional in understanding statistics. Pupils analyze six different sets of census data using histograms or normal probability plots to determine whether each data set fits a normal distribution. They then get...

Pupils may be able to simplify expressions, but do they understand how to simplify an expression? A PowerPoint presentation gives several examples of Smarter Balanced Assessment items that test learners' understanding of the concept....

In this normal curve areas worksheet, students follow 6 steps to compute the probability regarding the possible sample of proportions using a large sample population. First, they label the Ps-scale with the proportion and corresponding...

Central to the idea of statistics is the central limit theorem. Scholars play an online Deadly Distribution game to discover the nature of statistics. Along the way, they learn about sample size, random sampling, distribution, and the...

Learn how to analyze probability distributions. The sixth installment of a 21-part module teaches pupils to use probability distributions to determine the long-run behavior of a discrete random variable. They create graphs of probability...

What is the typical length of a yellow perch? Pupils analyze a histogram of lengths for a sample of yellow perch from the Great Lakes. They determine which measures of center and variability are best to use based upon the shape of the...

Set up your class with a strong foundation by creating a clear set of class rules. This document provides suggestions for phrasing and distributing class rules as well as list of rules you might try out.

Familiarity with the AP® exam is highly beneficial for test-takers. Scholars use the 2010 AP® Statistics free-response questions familiarize themselves with the test content and format. Studies and experiments, linear regression,...

Students take a sample of fish and try to determine how many fish are in the sea.  In this scientific sampling lesson, students explore the way scientists measure large areas of samples. Students record the distribution in a quadrant.

Students collect data and crate a distribution sample. In this statistics lesson, students compare and contrast their collected data. This assignment requires the students to be comfortable with navigating the internet.  

In this distribution worksheet, students examine given situations, determine the probability of an event, identify the standard deviation, and find a specified percentile and quartiles. Five probability story problems are available on...

Students compares the density and distribution differences of four species of spiders in two hypothetical habitats. They "sample" two habitats and then do calculations such as average density and relative distributions to compare the...

In this normal curve areas learning exercise, students follow 6 steps to compute probability regarding possible sample means using a large sample. First, they label the scale with the mean and corresponding standard deviations. Then,...

Students explore different methods of taking surveys and conducting polls and examine these methods for bias. They design and administer a sample survey, analyze the data and present their findings to the class.

Students review how to solve problems using the Distributive Property of Mathematics. They solve problems using the paper and pencil method and then use the graphing calculator to discover the property over addition while making a visual...

Learners are introduced to the concepts of the normal curve, skewness and the standard deviation. They discuss how the normal distribution has been used and misused to support conclusions.

Practice with paragraphs while thinking about careers! Learners examine and discuss two sample paragraphs, marking the different elements (topic sentences, body, concluding sentences), and try out writing their own paragraphs. Focusing...

Is your knowledge of statistics at an AP® level? Scholars try out the 2008 AP® Statistics free-response questions. The questions cover box plots, scatter plots, distributions, probability distributions, experiments, statistical tests,...

What is the best measure of central tendency? Scholars explore mean, median, mode, range, and interquartile range to understand the similarities and differences. They display data in dot plots, histograms, box plots, and more as part of...

Class members create their own social networks by collecting signatures before graphing the interactions with their fellow classmates. The degree distribution of the simulated social network is determined by calculating the degree of...

It's a good thing the resource dropped into your radar. Young mathematicians use an app that randomly drops balls through a Plinko game and into bins. They compare the distribution to that of an ideal binomial distribution.
