Above Average Math

Looking for a quick and fun activity after teaching your students about scatter plots and lines of best fit? This will get your students actively engaged in creating real-world data in a scatter plot and calculating a least squares regression line based on their own data! After learning what a least squares regression line is and how to find the line of best fit for a scatter plot, your students will be conducting an experiment in this one class period assignment and recording their data while

Did you just finish a unit on the different types of ways to display statistical data? This is a great project for you! Using a professional sports team, students use the quantitative data of height or weight of players to create data displays and interpret their data. The project can be modified for the middle school (i.e., mean, median, mode, and range) or high school level (i.e., skewness, standard deviation, and outlier fences). Data display choices include dot plots, histograms, line gra

Included in this bundle are PowerPoint lessons for pre-Algebra probability. This bundle includes lessons on the following topics: Experimental and Theoretical ProbabilityMaking SurveysIndependent and Dependent EventsPermutationsCombinationsAll lessons are animated, have definitions, examples, and answers. Homework problems are not supplied because we all use different textbooks. As a bonus, I have also included a short Project Based Learning (PBL) activity on Making Surveys. You can assign an

This is a PowerPoint presentation for a lesson that describes the difference between Experimental and Theoretical Probability. The presentation is completed animated on each slide. Vocabulary is emphasized. Examples are given in the presentation. It is a 1 day lesson. A Do Now begins the lesson with a puzzle. The homework exercises referenced in the presentation are from Prentice Hall textbooks, Course 3, but you can add whatever homework you'd like.

An introduction to Permutations for middle or high school students. Slides are animated, along with answers to example questions. Presentation is a 2-day lecture that includes a "Do Now" to start each class. Presentation follows the Prentice Hall Mathematics Course 3 Chapter 10 guidelines (textbook assignments are from that book). Worksheets assigned to the class are also from the Course 3 book, however since they are not original, they are not included here.
