Skittles Chance and Probability (Editable)
Chance and Probability activity using yummy Skittles!!!
Students are to predict the colours and quantities before they open the skittles bag. Students are to complete a chance experiment where they use a tally to collect their data. Students then transfer their data in fractions, decimals and percentages. Students are to create a bar graph using their data as well as answer chance and probability questions about the data. I used this with my grade 5/6 students and they loved it!

2024 March Mathness Madness NCAA Basketball Probability and Statistics Lesson
Every year I get my students excited about the NCAA Men's Basketball March Madness Tournament. I see articles written year after year from statisticians, sports journalist, celebrities, etc. about predicting the perfect bracket. Regardless that most have accepted it is nearly impossible, it has not deterred these enthusiast from finding an algorithm or a machine that can predict the outcomes.This packet guides students through 1) An explanation of what March Madness is all about2) A reading abou

Home Prices: High School Statistics Project
This statistics project has students exploring home prices and using their knowledge of mean, median, standard deviation, histograms, box and whisker plots, and bell curves to make predictions and inferences about the data. This project is provided in a word document to allow the teacher the ability to edit the document or load it to a google doc. In this project students first make predictions about measures of spread and central tendency without calculating but by looking at the data. Students

Favorite Sports Team: Data Displays and Measures of Central Tendency Project
Students will create a poster using sports statistics. Depending on the time of year, you may want to use football scores, basketball scores, data from the Olympics, etc. Students will use the internet (or you can print out statistics for them) to find sports data.
The students really buy into this project because it is about something they are interested in - their favorite sports team!
Students will display their knowledge of several data displays: line plot, tally chart, histogram and bo

Cards Probability Scavenger Hunt Activity
A mix of 26 addition rule, multiplication rule, and conditional probability questions about a standard deck of cards. Find the cards in question to lead you to the next problem! This resource is a word document so you may edit it to your liking. I made this activity for my CP Probability&Statistics class - but it is also challenging enough for an AP level statistics class. It generally takes about two class periods - but my kids LOVE it and it is GOOD practice. The problems may be a little t

Activity for Theoretical and Experimental Probability of Compound Events
This Skittles Lab is a fun and engaging way to get students excited about finding probabilities. The experiment involves finding the theoretical and experimental probability of choosing a specific order of skittles from a bag. Students work best in groups of three to calculate their probabilities and reflect on their results. This extends what students learned about Single Event Probabilities and now involves a Compound Event. There are step-by-step instructions for students to follow through ou

French Fry Scatter Plot & Best Line of Fit
Students will compare the nutritional values and serving sizes of french fries from various fast food restaurants. Based on this information, they will create scatter plots, best lines of fit and the equation of the trend line. Using the equation, they will estimate the unknown values of kid meals and supersized portions of french fries.

Tree Diagrams Notes and Practice Packet
I created this packet on tree diagrams for my probability unit so that students could work with one another to learn how to create a tree diagram on their own without my direct instruction. This gave me the freedom to help students that needed more individualized instruction and guidance. This packet was great to use before introducing the fundamental counting principle.

Misleading Charts and Graphs Analysis
This lesson outlines the four most common ways that writers and journalists display graphs that can cause people to draw incorrect conclusions. Students look at examples of bad graphs along with corrected versions and explain why one version is misleading and the other is correct. Independent practice is provided for the students to demonstrate understanding as well.

Probability and Statistics March Madness Project
In this activity, students fill out a March Madness bracket by using the formula. Then, you will simulate each game to determine the winner. Then they fill out a March Madness bracket by selecting who you think will win. Let them do the research and discuss. It can be based on research of team and player statistics, the team name they like the most, the team mascot they like the most, or any other criteria they can think of! At the conclusion of the tournament, we will revisit this activity

Normal Distributions - Activity Series
This activity sheet helps students better understand normal distributions through the use of dice. Each student rolls a pair of dice and adds the total of each dice and records it 100 times. Then they plot the distribution and in most cases it comes out a bell curve. Its a fun and easy way to show the distribution. You could pair students up for less dice usage.

Geometric Probability Worksheet Spring 2013 with Answer Key (Editable)
I wrote this worksheet to replace a lecture on geometric probability. Instead of giving my students a lot of examples, I give them the basic formula for geometric probability, (included at the start of this worksheet) and the "helper formula," which often comes in handy:
shaded area + unshaded area = total area
With that information, I set them to work on this activity within cooperative groups, and I circulate to make sure they are getting the purpose of the questions. This generally gives
