Probability-Theoretical and Experimental-Crab Derby Race CCSS 7.SP.C.5, 6, and 7
This is a fun, engaging 3 part activity including lesson plan that will have your kids so engaged they will forget they are actually learning math. Students will first work in groups/partners and simulate a crab derby race in a game using the sum of two dice to see whose crab will cross the finish line first. Then, they will complete a matrix of possible outcomes when two dice are tossed and added together to get particular sums. They will answer questions that apply to both theoretical and e

Carnival Probability Project
A project that feels like a game!
Students must create their own game, using probability to ensure THEY are favored to win....much like the house in a casino. Students can make games involving dice, spinners, cards, "fishing" ducks out of a pond, etc.
Assessed skills include: fundamental counting principal, theoretical probability, experimental probability, independent events, dependent events, creativity, writing, presentation. *Students must already know basic probability to complete this

Statistics Mode, Median, Mean, Range Worksheet for Math or Psychology
What's in the Hand: Activity makes learning mode, median, mean, and range fun. You will need two packs of playing cards in order to use 10 different variations. I use giant clothes pins to hold a total of 9 cards for each station. Each student gets a worksheet and is assigned to a group of 4-5 students. Students will complete the first rotation by figuring the mean, median, mode, and range, and then rotate to each other station in about 5 min intervals. At the end they will answer the questions

Using Probability to Teach Social Justice
This is an exploratory experiment/activity about basic probability. Students discover the differences between theoretical probability, experimental probability, and reality by taking a hard look at Stop and Frisk in urban areas. Students also deal with independent and dependent events.
By the end of the project, students will be able to:
Articulate the differences between theoretical and experimental probability through prediction and experimentation.
Articulate the differences between indep

Racial Profiling and Probability (Social Justice Math)
In this assignment, you will investigate racial profiling, or Driving While Black (DWB). African Americans and Latinos/as have complained, filed suit, and organized against what they believe are racist police practices—being stopped, searched, harassed, and arrested because they “fit” a racial profile—they are African American (Black) or Latino/a (Brown). But is this true? How do we know? And can mathematics be a useful tool in helping us answer this question?These questions will be answered usi

Winter Olympics - Random Number Simulation with Experimental Probability!
This is a collaborative learning activity where students will apply Random Number Simulation to see if their country will receive a medal in the next 10 Olympics!
Students will enhance their technology skills while researching past Olympic wins and losses for certain events. After compiling the existing results, students will run a simulation to gather data about the future Olympics.
Once they have gathered the data, they will find the experimental probability for different outcomes.

Marble Activity
Fun activity to have students investigate and calculate probability.Using a Plinko-style board, students predict where the marble will drop. Probabilities are then found by breaking the board down into smaller versions and seeing how it relates to Pascal's Triangle to be able to determine the probabilities.There are questions related to the marble drop and probability, some questions about Plinko and an extension using The Wall game show.SMART Notebook presentation, word document and pdf version

Comparing Linear, Quadratic, Exponential Regressions w/Spreadsheets
This project incorporates spreadsheets with scatter plots and lines of best fit. It asked students to perform various regressions, such as linear, power, exponential, and logarithmic, The students are asked to generate an model to help park rangers determine the weight of black bears by using only one of three measures, neck girth, length, and chest girth. Calculating the bears weights allow the rangers to anesthetize them in order for them to care for the bears. The r values in this project
