With so many math standards to fit into a school year, it can be difficult keeping track of what you have and have not covered. This collection of Common Core checklists allows you to maintain a running record of when each...

Sixth graders experiment with dice, playing cards, pennies and computer-generated simulations to calculate probability. They use compiled data to make predictions.

Aspiring statisticians create tree diagrams and figure probabilities of events based on those diagrams. They practice adding and multiplying fractions and explain complementary probabilities. Students use computers activities to make...

Learners are taught to search the internet for statistics concepts on sports. In this probability lesson, students collect data and use the calculator to graph and analyze their data. They graph and make predictions about sports using...

Sstudents explore and analyze the properties of geometric areas.  In this geometry lesson, sstudents use technology to simulate spinners and dartboards in order to fing areas of circles and sectors of circles and compare and...

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

Burgers and salads and sodas, oh my! Scholars use a menu to investigate the Fundamental Counting Principle. They create tree diagrams to illustrate the number of possible choices for each given scenario.

Students investigate the concept of even change by participating in a coin flip activity. They research using the Internet to investigate the chance of giving birth to a boy.

Pupils investigate the concepts of probability. They use data to find the central tendency, median, and mode. Students design and play a game in order to practice the concepts. They also complete a table with data that is analyzed.

Learners predict results, design a model, and carry out trials to determine probability based on their experimentation.

Students collect experimental data and record it on a frequency table. After accessing an Internet coin toss simulation site they discover that repetition of an experiment may result in different outcomes. They identify the mutually...

Young scholars perform operations with matrices. In this algebra lesson plan, students use cryptography and cryptanalysis to solve problems. They add, subtract, and multiply matrices.

Third graders focus on developing a systematic approach to problem solving while working on a problem that requires them to determine possible outcomes. They use a pegboard as a manipulative in this problem.

Student groups seek a possible ecological problem in the West Bloomfield area then either photograph or videotape the problem. They investigate how to measure the extent of the problem and do it.

Seventh graders discover the difference between theoretical and experimental probabilities by designing their own problems and testing them. After conducting their own coin toss trial, they compare their results with an Internet...

Learners collect data on different events and word problems. In this algebra lesson, students use a table to organize their data. They graph their coordinate pairs on a coordinate plane and make predictions.

Students are able to assess a problem and use systematic methods to solve the problem. They also find out all the possible outcomes for a sequence of events using tree diagrams.

Young scholars discuss problem and take turns in pairs, one tossing the coins while the other guesses whether the coins land with the same side up or different sides up. They record the results of each guess as same or different.

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.

Equip young campers with important survival knowledge with a set of engaging lessons. Teammates work together to complete three outdoor activities, which include building a shelter, starting a campfire, and finding directions in the...

Students create scale drawings, and ultimately scale models, of real-world objects in this Math lesson about ratios, proportion, scaling factors, and cross products. The lesson includes ideas for cross-curricular extensions and is...

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.

Learners examine statistics of teenagers using alcohol and marijuana. In groups, they brainstorm the reasons why they believe usage is higher than in years past. As a class, they role-play different roles in scenerios to help them...

Sixth graders practice Least Common Multiple in fractions. In this fraction lesson, 6th graders look at two different fractions and find a common denominator. They sing a song to memorize mean, median, and mode.
