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
Let your students delve into the real world application of percents, statistics, and graphing.
They will choose one of three company focuses that need a new product. Students will create questions to survey classmates or schoolmates in order to guide their design.
They will categorize that data and create various graphs, percentage statements, and a presentation.
All of these steps are followed through the steps of design thinking.
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.
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!
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.

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!
