Eighth graders examine probability. Students read real life situations involving math. Upon completing probability problems, they express their answer as a fraction, decimal or percent.

Sixth graders study the probability of single events. Given a bag of marbles, they discuss and find the probability of single events. In groups of two, 6th graders complete additional activities, predicting the probability. Students...

Students work in groups to define what popcorn is, what kinds of popcorn they eat, and hypothesize what happens when popcorn pops. They also weigh, pop and weigh their popcorn again, measuring how many popcorn kernels they started with...

Learners explore forestry. They discuss creating fire breaks to control forest fires. Students create models to determine the best way to manage forest fires. They discuss current techniques of forest management.

Students explore probability. They discuss the likelihood of events happening and the terms certain, impossible, likely and unlikely. Students discuss various situations and the likelihood of that situation occurring.

Learners review and better examine hypothesis testing and evaluation of probability distributions. the use of the discovery method is vital to the studying because it is about student interests which helps for motivation.

Eighth graders use the internet and calculators to explore theoretical and experimental probability. Using a program on the calculator, 8th graders simulate a coin toss and a spinner to figure probability. They also perform classroom...

Pupils analyze and calculate expenses using the historic Horatio's road trip. Mathematics is taught using a cross curricular approach.

Students use the language associated with probability to discuss events including those with equally likely outcome. They collect data from a simple experiment and record in a frequency table: estimate probabilities based on this data

Learners list all the outcomes for single events, and for two successive events in a systematic way. When dealing with a combination of two experiments, they identify all the outcomes, using diagrammatic, tabular or other forms of...

Students use probability as a game strategy.
