Students explore the concept of probability. In this probability lesson, students develop an understanding of probability by pulling marbles out of a bag and recording the data. Students use the recording sheet to discuss the results of...

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

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...

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...

Pupils roll a die to figure out which car advances on a race track. They determine the rules for each car moving forward and, given the statistics of the winner, compare if it matches their predictions.

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...

It takes a lot of planning to achieve a random result! Learners compare results of random assignment, and conclude that random assignment allows results to be attributed to chance. They also realize the set of random means...

Third graders compare experimental results with mathematical expectations of probabilities. They utilize a worksheet imbedded in this plan to gain practice with the concept of probability.

In this probability instructional activity, students use math models and the problem solving strategy of understand, plan, solve, and look back to help them complete the two probability questions.

Middle schoolers participate in several chance activities and examine a few games for fairness. They become game designers who are asked to design a fair game for a toy company. Students must describe the rules for play and examine...

Careful, that light bulb is hot! Compare heat and light energy using a simple light bulb. The exercise addresses energy conservation and presents actual calculations to determine the most cost-effective light bulb.

Students explore the development of paint and paintings during the Renaissance. In a science lab, they reproduce the properties of egg in tempera paint and compare and contrast egg tempera paintings to oil paintings. Through...

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...

Logical thinking is at the forefront of this jam-packed lesson, with young mathematicians not only investigating geometric concepts but also how they "know what they know". Through each activity and worksheet, learners wrestle with...

In this reaction kinetics worksheet, students draw a graph of energy vs. reaction progress and determine the factors which change the speed of a reaction. Students learn about rate laws. This worksheet has 1 graph, 15 fill in the blanks,...

Students play game to practice numerical skills.

Young scholars explore various verbal and nonverbal ways to improve their English pronunciation. They create a short biography and practice reading them with an English accent, using appropriate language, intonation, and body language.

Second graders identify and describe in their own language, the following 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional shapes: triangle, square, oblong (non-square rectangle), circle, oval, pentagon, hexagon, diamond, box, cylinder, and sphere. They...

Ninth graders explain how scientists set up investigations. In this scientific process lesson, 9th graders review the principles of the scientific method and use these skills to answer an open-ended question about how to set up a...

Fourth graders view a Newton's Apple show that explores glider mechanics, explore the four forces, build and fly a glider to specific guidelines. They adjust the glider for greater accuracy and distance using four forces, and assess...

A set of questions on experimental and theoretical probabilities using coins and dice. Answers are accompanied by explanations.

Compare theoretical and experimental probabilities, using dice, cards, spinners, or coin tosses. Three different probabilities can be compared at once.

Use this tool to create a spinner to examine experimental and theoretical outcomes.

Choose one of N doors to experimentally determine the odds of winning the grand prize behind one of the doors, as in the TV program "Let's Make a Deal."
