Percent Increase and Decrease Quiz

Error Olympics

Created by

Students will actively estimate and calculate values (ex. the temperature of water) to determine percent error. This is a great active lesson since kids will be moving from station to station to complete their data collection, ideally in small groups. Aside from simply learning to calculate percent error, students will also learn the value of accurate data collection. Paper "Olympic Medals" are also included to award the students at the end whose estimates were closest to their actual val

Candy Probability: Discovery of EXPERIMENTAL vs. THEORETICAL Probability

Created by

My Dogs Ate My Homework

Middle Schoolers LOVE probability! This is a GREAT lesson around Halloween when the kids are already hyped up on sugar and want to 'talk' to their classmates. This activity allows the students to DISCOVER the differences between EXPERIMENTAL and THEORETICAL probability and connect it to everyday experiences. The probability lesson lends itself to fractions, decimals, percents, data collection, rational & irrational numbers, statistical graphs (box and whiskers, frequency tables...), measures

Creativity in Mind

If the weather does not permit you to go outside to do real quadrat sampling why not do this one instead? M and Ms take the place of trees. I think you could also modify this activity for a math class in terms of studying probability. It would create a real-life application for probability.

Game On! Hypothesis Testing: 1-Sample t-Test for Means Lab

Created by

NJ Data Diva

This lab asks students to apply concepts of 1-sample t-test of means in a real world context. They are able to play/simulate games and determine if their theoretical calculation is accurate. This lab integrates hypothesis testing based on two carnival games. Spiraling expected value and random variable topics from previous chapters will help themto prepare them with a "big picture" when it comes to the AP Statistics Exam. (For the high flyers: It also asks students to develop of higher orde

Statistics: Ducks to Wind (an Ogive Activity)

Created by

Andy Mattick

Engage your students with this hands-on statistics project where they throw rubber ducks as far as they can und use the data to build an ogive (cumulative frequency graph). This activity brings statistics to life and helps students master frequency distributions, cumulative frequency, and graphical analysis through a fun and memorable experiment. What’s Included Student Worksheet (data collection, frequency tables, cumulative frequency, ogive graphing, analysis questions) Teacher Answer Key
