Experimental Probability Activity (dice lab)
In this activity students work with a partner to roll a pair of dice (many times) and record the sum of the dice in a data collection sheet. Once the data has been collected the students are walked through the process of calculating the experimental probability for each sum and then the theoretical probability for each sum and are asked questions about the differences they find between the values. Students also make a bar graph using the percentages for theoretical probability and can visually s

Geometry:Concurrent Points GeoGebra Activity - Circumcenter & Incenter -w/ Key
Tired of teaching the same boring lessons on Circumcenter and Incenter? After years of using the standard book resources, I decided to create this activity that demonstrates some real-life applications of these concurrent points. This product includes 9 tasks (with complete answer key and screen shots of graphics). Each task will ask students to find a real life circumcenter or incenter. (While this product did not include any centroid or orthocenter problems, I left those options on the top

Rock, Paper, Scissors says Stat: A Chi-Square Lab
Students will utilize a Rock, Paper, Scissors website provided by the New York Times to determine whether the computer throwing Rock, Paper, Scissors is truly random. Students are asked to play the game 30 times in both modes. In addition, students are asked to call back ideas of simulation and probability to review previous learned concepts in preparation for the AP Exam to eliminate the confounding variables associated with human behavior.Please find an updated link to the simulator here: ht

Isotopes of "Beanium" Activity/Lab
Students practice collecting data on three different "isotopes of beans (black, read and large white beans). After given a sample of "Beanium," they calculate both the unweighted and weighted average mass of a bean in their sample. Extra basic Chemistry math practice is included such as performing operations in scientific notation, calculating density and calculating weighted averages is included. There is also data provided so that this could be modified as a paper lab so no lab equipment or

Heart Rate Lab
The heart rate lab is a classic science lab for any study of the human body. With this twist, students find their heart rate while resting, exercising, and recovering from exercise. Students then analyze their data by finding the average, and compile their data with their group. At the end, students graph their data, and answer analysis questions. There are many options for turning this lab into an advanced lab.

Skittles Proportion Activity
Students are to be provided a bag of skittles. They are going to use proportions and ratios to determine if there are the same number/ratio of each color in all different sized bags.
I had students work in groups of 2 for this activity. Within the activity I broke it up into three different sections; a pre-lab, lab, and post-lab portion. Students make initial guesses/hypothesis, test out their theory, use proportions and ratios to analyze their results and graph data.

A Deviation From The Norm
This lesson teaches students how to apply information about normal distributions, means, standard deviations, and z-scores from real life data about height. The focus of this lesson is conceptual understanding; students will not be computing any standard deviations. However, they will use a given mean, standard deviation, and normal distribution to compute z-scores and percentiles for their own height, their classmates' heights, and celebrities' heights.

M & M's Probability Experiment
In this experiment, the students learn about the basics of probability and what happens depending on the sample size. The students predict based on a sample what is in their bag and then find out if the are correct. Then using the actual data the students calculate probabilities based on individual, group and class results. They graph this information as well.
There are questions along with this activity that ask why and get at their thinking. In the end they compare the class results wit

Each student should receive a bag with 50 M&Ms. In the first part of the activity, students calculate the experimental probability by tallying the number of times they choose each color when picking 50 times with replacement. They then count the exact number of each color to determine the theoretical probability. In part 2 of the activity, students compare t
