Give students each a pack of fun size M&M's. They record how many of each color they have and then answer the questions about their numbers. Then they work in groups and determine the same questions with the new numbers. The second page works on converting fractions (of each color over total m&ms) to percentsand comparing them to the expected percents found in an M&M bag. I did this activity around Halloween time and students loved it.
Data Landmarks finding Maximum, Minimum, Range, Mode, Median, and Mean. Students are asked to provide definitions for each and are then given several scenarios with data that they need to analyze and find each landmark.
Images & vocabulary lists that will give students an opportunity to create their own quiz Topics - Mean, Median, Mode, Range, MAD, IQR, cluster, gaps, outliers, histograms, dot plots, box plots, frequency tables & raw data
There is no better time of year than March Madness for students to practice real world application of fractions, percentsand decimals. This template is great for in class or enrichment programs and can be differentiated to fit your teaching needs. Students test their skills with a crumpled up piece of paper and the wastebasket or "trash", keep track of their shots made vs. attempts and figure out their Trasketball statistics.
This Types of Data Do Now / Revision Worksheet is a clear, student-friendly warm-up designed to reinforce key statistics and data concepts in middle school math or early high school math. Perfect for Do Nows, bell ringers, revision lessons, early finishers, or formative assessment, this worksheet encourages students to classify data types, calculate measures of central tendency, and apply statistical vocabulary with confidence. What’s Included✔ Classifying numerical vs categorical data ✔ Cal
This is a math review worksheet that your students can work on while watching the live games during March Madness. It focuses on fractions andpercents, mean, median, mode, and range.
Use these flashcards to play "Quiz, Quiz, Trade." (A Kagan Cooperative Teaching Strategy) Each student is given one flashcard. That student must then find another student holding a different flashcard. Students take turns asking their questions (the quiz, quiz part) and then exchange cards (the trade) after the questions have been correctly answered. Both students then move on holding a new card. A fun and engaging way to review concepts of probability!
Are you looking for a performance task that reviews several concepts? Look no further. Students will enjoy this task while you are able to incorporate several basic skills in just one activity.
Concepts include: Frequency table, ratios (part to part and part to whole), fraction/decimal/percent conversion, bar graphs and circle graphs. The circle graph includes tick marks to help students graph it correctly.
Teachers can approach this one of two ways:
1)Each student has their own individual bag
This is a hands-on activity focusing on theoretical vs. experimental probability. Students will work in partners to complete the activity. Each pair of students will be given a small, brown bag filled with a handful of colored chips. The students will use the colored chips to find the theoretical probability and experimental probability of choosing specific colored chips. The students will then be asked to compare the outcome of the theoretical probability and experimental probability.
This a
This activity is practice making pie charts. The pie chart that is included has 100 marks to make it perfect for using percents to create pie charts. The last page is the students creating their own question and surveying the class to create their own pie chart. Students need to know how to convert between fractions, decimals andpercents.
This full unit bundle includes everything you need to a unit on probability and circle graphs - no extra prep! Lessons are designed to be clear, consistent, and engaging. There is an emphasis on hands on activities, problem-solving, visual models, and making connections to real-world contexts. The structure supports all learners with a predictable format and opportunities for differentiation and feedback throughout. Concepts Covered:✔ Get Ready: Review of fractions, decimals, percents, and perc
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 about 2) A reading a
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!
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
