This resource can be used as a class activity or individual practice worksheet. Students are given 12 situations to analyze, and they must decide whether each of them represents a random sample or a biased sample. If being used as a class activity, students should cut out the squares (each situation is on one square). They can then tape them onto the board (have the board divided into 2 categories) based on what kind of sample they believe it is. As a class, you can then discuss each situati
This resource is used to introduce students to mutually exclusive events. Before receiving a definition of this concept, students must determine whether a variety of situations could happen at the same time. Students are then guided through several examples in order to determine the probability of mutually exclusive events (A or B). Two versions of the resource can be used at this point in the activity. In the advanced form (Version A), students work through a card example to find the probab
In this project, students are given three scenarios to choose from. They can own a new restaurant, clothing store, or sporting goods store. For each situation, they are given a list of categories that can be used to create customer choices. They will then relate their menu (or catalog) to probability and, more specifically, the fundamental counting principle. A rubric is provided to guide instructor grading. This is an open-ended project, so it is accessible to both beginning learners and a
These guided notes can be used to introduce students to random samples. Formulas and examples are provided to introduce the calculations for sample proportions and margins of error. The second part of the resource contains a page of practice problems that can be given as an individual assignment to assess student mastery. A key is provided.
In this project, students will choose between three real-life scenarios. Each scenario involves two purchase options, and students will use systems of linear equations to decide what to buy. Scenario 1 involves planning a vacation, scenario 2 involves a cell phone plan, and scenario 3 involves buying a new car. Students must research actual prices to complete this project. They will support their choice using a system of equations, and they must demonstrate multiple solution strategies. A r
In this assignment, students are asked to find probabilities based on a variety of real-world situations. Both experimental and theoretical probability are included. Additionally, students must make a prediction based on experimental probability in one question. An answer key is included.
This resource can be used to introduce relative frequency tables (probability distributions). It begins with definitions and a formula for relative frequency (probability). It then provides 2 examples where students create relative frequency tables (probability distributions) based on sets of data. Students also create a bar chart to represent the data in the second example. A key is provided.
These guided notes can be used as the first lesson in a unit on rational numbers. Students learn how to write fractions as decimals, and they learn how to write decimals as fractions. These notes also include a review of place value. Numerous practice problems are given, including a word problem. A key is included.
This practice worksheet is used to introduce the fundamental counting principle. Students will be given 2 situations. In the first situation, they choose the color and size of a shirt. In the second situation, they choose a meal at a restaurant. To demonstrate why the fundamental counting principle works, they create a tree diagram to illustrate the number of possible outcomes. A key is included.
This product is a bundle of 6 lessons and 3 quizzes that can be used as the introductory chapter in a middle school or high school geometry class. The following lessons are included: 1 - Points, Lines, and Planes2 - Measuring and Constructing SegmentsLesson 1 and 2 Review and Quiz3 - Measuring and Constructing Angles4 - Pairs of AnglesLesson 3 and 4 Review and Quiz5 - Perimeter, Area, and Circumference6 - Midpoint and Distance in the Coordinate PlaneLesson 5 and 6 Review and Quiz
At the beginning of this resource, students complete a two-way frequency table involving university students (classified by gender and enrollment status). They proceed through a series of questions that help them calculate conditional probability without using the formula. The formula is given after this introduction and students work through five more examples of conditional probability. Two-way frequency tables and tree diagrams are both used to illustrate conditional probability in this as
These guided notes are used to introduce the following terms: data, population, sample, parameter, statistic, qualitative (categorical) data, quantitative (numerical) data, observational study, experiment, simulation, survey. Examples are provided throughout the notes to provide practice with identifying populations/samples, distinguishing parameters/statistics, labeling data as quantitative/qualitative, and determining the method of data collection (observational study, experiment, simulation,
This assignment can be used to assess the following concepts: distinguishing statistics and parameters, identifying populations and samples, and differentiating between quantitative/qualitative data. Numerous situations are also given to test whether students can determine if a study is an experiment, survey, or observational study. A variety of question types are included (true/false, short answer, fill in the blank). A key is provided.
This test can be used to assess the following topics: Use long division to write fractions as decimals.Write fractions as decimals without using long division.Write decimals as fractions.Use inequality symbols to compare fractions.Order rational numbers from least to greatest.Add or subtract fractions and mixed numbers (involving positives and negatives).Multiply or divide fractions and mixed numbers (involving positives and negatives).Several word problems are given. A key is included.
This resource can be used to introduce two-way frequency tables. The difference between marginal and joint frequency is emphasized. Additionally, students learn how to find probabilities by creating two-way tables that show relative frequencies. This resource includes 2 practice exercises. For each of them, students fill in the missing numbers in a two-way table and answer questions about probability by creating a two-way relative frequency table. A key is provided.

This resource should be used after students have already learned about conditional probability. It can be used to explain how conditional probability is used to test for independence. An overview of this concept is included to help students as they work through two real-world examples. For each situation, students complete a two-way frequency table and calculate a variety of conditional probabilities to determine independence. An answer key is provided.
This activity is used to review geometric sequences and demonstrate how they show up in real-world situations. Students are given 3 different applications. For each application, they do the following: create a table of numbers to represent the sequence, graph the data on a coordinate plane, identify the common ratio, find the recursive formula, find the explicit formula, and predict a future value using the explicit formula. A key is provided.
