Skittles Chance and Probability (Editable)
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!

2024 March Mathness Madness NCAA Basketball Probability and Statistics Lesson
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 about2) A reading abou

Home Prices: High School Statistics Project
This statistics project has students exploring home prices and using their knowledge of mean, median, standard deviation, histograms, box and whisker plots, and bell curves to make predictions and inferences about the data. This project is provided in a word document to allow the teacher the ability to edit the document or load it to a google doc. In this project students first make predictions about measures of spread and central tendency without calculating but by looking at the data. Students

Sampling Methods Matching Activity
18 cards included. Students match six types of sampling methods (random, cluster, stratified, convenience, systematic, and self-selected) with their definitions and an example of each type. Teacher answer key included for easy assessment. When students are finished, they should have 6 groups of 3 cards each for teacher/other group to check.

Cards Probability Scavenger Hunt Activity
A mix of 26 addition rule, multiplication rule, and conditional probability questions about a standard deck of cards. Find the cards in question to lead you to the next problem! This resource is a word document so you may edit it to your liking. I made this activity for my CP Probability&Statistics class - but it is also challenging enough for an AP level statistics class. It generally takes about two class periods - but my kids LOVE it and it is GOOD practice. The problems may be a little t

French Fry Scatter Plot & Best Line of Fit
Students will compare the nutritional values and serving sizes of french fries from various fast food restaurants. Based on this information, they will create scatter plots, best lines of fit and the equation of the trend line. Using the equation, they will estimate the unknown values of kid meals and supersized portions of french fries.

Scatterplots Linear Regression Line of Best Fit Forearms & Height (Editable)
After teaching my students about scatterplots, correlation, and the line of best fit, I take a day for them to do a hands-on lab, in which they measure their height (in inches) and their forearm length (from the tip of their elbow, to the bony point on their wrist), and we plot the class data, write the equation of the line of best fit, and then use the equation generated both forwards and backwards. They will need 45 minutes to an hour to do this in class.

Tree Diagrams Notes and Practice Packet
I created this packet on tree diagrams for my probability unit so that students could work with one another to learn how to create a tree diagram on their own without my direct instruction. This gave me the freedom to help students that needed more individualized instruction and guidance. This packet was great to use before introducing the fundamental counting principle.

Probability and Statistics March Madness Project
In this activity, students fill out a March Madness bracket by using the formula. Then, you will simulate each game to determine the winner. Then they fill out a March Madness bracket by selecting who you think will win. Let them do the research and discuss. It can be based on research of team and player statistics, the team name they like the most, the team mascot they like the most, or any other criteria they can think of! At the conclusion of the tournament, we will revisit this activity

Normal Distributions - Activity Series
This activity sheet helps students better understand normal distributions through the use of dice. Each student rolls a pair of dice and adds the total of each dice and records it 100 times. Then they plot the distribution and in most cases it comes out a bell curve. Its a fun and easy way to show the distribution. You could pair students up for less dice usage.

Geometric Probability Worksheet Spring 2013 with Answer Key (Editable)
I wrote this worksheet to replace a lecture on geometric probability. Instead of giving my students a lot of examples, I give them the basic formula for geometric probability, (included at the start of this worksheet) and the "helper formula," which often comes in handy:
shaded area + unshaded area = total area
With that information, I set them to work on this activity within cooperative groups, and I circulate to make sure they are getting the purpose of the questions. This generally gives
