Students complete several games and experiments, tally and graph their results. They figure the mean, median, range and/or average of their graphs to describe class results. They consider which statistic best represents the data at hand.

Students use statistics to study attributes of a local center for pregnant teenagers. They apply mean, median, mode and a correlation study between two variables.

Young scholars analyze the number of times each letter in the alphabet is used in the names of the states. In this statistics lesson plan, students create a stem and leaf plot, box and whisker plot and a histogram to analyze their data.

In this probability worksheet, students solve for the area under the frequency histograms. They identify the area using the derivative. There are 3 questions. 

Happy Pi Day! This collection of games, experiments, and activities leads participants through an exploration of the many aspects and attributes of that mysterious quantity, pi. Activities range from using statistical...

This template is just begging for your young mathematicians to fill it in with colorful bar graphs! With horizontal and vertical axes in place and grid lines for added support, this is a great resource for teaching children how...

Students develop a process of packing jelly beans efficiently. In this math lesson, students explain the quality control methods they designed. They construct histograms using Excel spreadsheet.

Ninth graders examine rates, matrices, histograms, line graphs, data analysis and data presentation in order to develop an understanding of how these concepts apply to a the effects of a specific disease.

Students determine expected values of experiments and explore distributions of experiments. They guess as to how many times a coin will flip heads in fifty tries. They flip a coin fifty times graphing the results on a histogram. They...

Pupils work to develop surveys and collect data. They display the data using circle graphs, histograms, box and whisker plots, and scatter plots. Students use multimedia tools to develop a visual presentation to display their data.

The key is in the leaves. Pupils enter data to create a stem-and-leaf plot. The resource then displays the plot and calculates the mean, median, and mode of the data. Using the plot and the calculated measures of spread, learners analyze...

Pupils examine influences contributing to alcohol use and abuse. They asses the genetic and environmental factors involved in alcoholism. They create a histogram for modeling alcohol use and calculate the results into percentages of the...

Pairs work together to determine whether unknown solutions are either acids or bases by using a red cabbage indicator solution. After determining the general pH of the unknown solution, classmates blow into the same indicator after...

Seventh graders utilize data collected from various sources based on Canadian military statistics to consolidate their understanding of data management. Students plan and create a PowerPoint presentation using this data including in...

Eighth graders discover the relationship between speed, distance, and time. They calculate speed and represent their data graphically. They, in groups, design a ramp for their matchbox car. The goal is to see who's ramp produces the...

Eighth graders research a variety of military statistics while using the theme of Remebering Our Veterans. They use data management to plan and create a PowerPoint presentation with their findings. They incorporate different types of...

Ninth graders view the film "Pay It Forward" and discuss what kind of public campaign is needed to move people to positive action. They consider different ways of presenting information (graphs, visual displays, etc.) as tools for...

Students practice and determine expected values of experiments as well as distributions of experiments. They find the area of rectangles and circles and determine elementary probabilities. Probability exercises begin with quarters and...

Students explore the characteristics of sets and Venn Diagrams. Given data, students practice determining the placement of elements in a Venn Diagram. Students discuss the correspondence between data sets and their graphical...

Students practice an alternative form of data presentation. They practice sequencing data, identifying the stem-and-leaf, creating stem-and-leaf plots, and drawing inferences from the data by viewing the plots.

Students are introduced to the organization of data This lesson is designed using stem and leaf plots. After gather data, they create a visual representation of their data through the use of a stem and leaf plot. Students drawing...

Students explain and appreciate the use of statistics in everyday life. They define basic terms used in statistics and compute simple measures of central tendency.

Students identify a question to generate appropriate data and predict results. They distinguish between a total population and a sample and use a variety of methods to collect and record data. Students create classifications and ranges...

Students participate in a simulation of a parachute-jump competition by making paper parachutes and then dropping them towards a target on the floor. They measure the distance from the point where the paper parachute lands compared to...
