AP Statistics M&M Sampling Distribution Project - Works for Distance Learning!
NEW for 2020! This resource now includes both a PDF for printing out a physical copy AND a fully editable Google Doc link for remote or distance learning! Assign the Google doc to your students, and they can type their answers directly into the document and submit their work digitally. They can also create normal curve diagrams in Google Docs using Insert-Image (kids figure out how to do this quite quickly, as I learned this year!)I use this project every year in my AP Statistics class to demyst

Probability-Theoretical and Experimental-Crab Derby Race CCSS 7.SP.C.5, 6, and 7
This is a fun, engaging 3 part activity including lesson plan that will have your kids so engaged they will forget they are actually learning math. Students will first work in groups/partners and simulate a crab derby race in a game using the sum of two dice to see whose crab will cross the finish line first. Then, they will complete a matrix of possible outcomes when two dice are tossed and added together to get particular sums. They will answer questions that apply to both theoretical and e

Carnival Probability Project
A project that feels like a game!
Students must create their own game, using probability to ensure THEY are favored to win....much like the house in a casino. Students can make games involving dice, spinners, cards, "fishing" ducks out of a pond, etc.
Assessed skills include: fundamental counting principal, theoretical probability, experimental probability, independent events, dependent events, creativity, writing, presentation. *Students must already know basic probability to complete this

Statistics Mode, Median, Mean, Range Worksheet for Math or Psychology
What's in the Hand: Activity makes learning mode, median, mean, and range fun. You will need two packs of playing cards in order to use 10 different variations. I use giant clothes pins to hold a total of 9 cards for each station. Each student gets a worksheet and is assigned to a group of 4-5 students. Students will complete the first rotation by figuring the mean, median, mode, and range, and then rotate to each other station in about 5 min intervals. At the end they will answer the questions

Using Probability to Teach Social Justice
This is an exploratory experiment/activity about basic probability. Students discover the differences between theoretical probability, experimental probability, and reality by taking a hard look at Stop and Frisk in urban areas. Students also deal with independent and dependent events.
By the end of the project, students will be able to:
Articulate the differences between theoretical and experimental probability through prediction and experimentation.

Racial Profiling and Probability (Social Justice Math)
In this assignment, you will investigate racial profiling, or Driving While Black (DWB). African Americans and Latinos/as have complained, filed suit, and organized against what they believe are racist police practices—being stopped, searched, harassed, and arrested because they “fit” a racial profile—they are African American (Black) or Latino/a (Brown). But is this true? How do we know? And can mathematics be a useful tool in helping us answer this question?These questions will be answered usi

Once the web is built, students can easily see the interconnected nature of life. Teacher prompts to kill off certain organisms, having students drop their string and all attachments lead to deeper understanding of environmental impacts. Students then take that knowledge and draw the FOOD WEB on their worksheets using the FOOD CHAI
