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

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

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

Winter Olympics - Random Number Simulation with Experimental Probability!
This is a collaborative learning activity where students will apply Random Number Simulation to see if their country will receive a medal in the next 10 Olympics!
Students will enhance their technology skills while researching past Olympic wins and losses for certain events. After compiling the existing results, students will run a simulation to gather data about the future Olympics.
Once they have gathered the data, they will find the experimental probability for different outcomes.

Marble Activity
Fun activity to have students investigate and calculate probability.Using a Plinko-style board, students predict where the marble will drop. Probabilities are then found by breaking the board down into smaller versions and seeing how it relates to Pascal's Triangle to be able to determine the probabilities.There are questions related to the marble drop and probability, some questions about Plinko and an extension using The Wall game show.SMART Notebook presentation, word document and pdf version

2 Dice Probability Bingo Game
Simple Bingo game where students can use a bingo game as an experiment to discover which values are the highest probability in either the sum of 2 dice or the difference of 2 dice.
Students fill in the sheets with values they think will come up. They get to fill in one square per round if the have a value that matches the sum/difference of the dice. After the first game is played, it should be played again to allow students to use their understanding to improve their chances. Eg. using more

Halloween Party - Math Problem Solving
In this activity, students will be planning a Halloween party for their class. They will need to "purchase" supplies for their party using a budget that you set. I set a budget that forces the students to make budget choices, i.e., I don't give them enough to buy everything they want. Students will work in partners to plan their party, making decisions based on their budget constraints. Students are also asked to perform some data analysis on the party choices. This is a good activity to do

Maths activity: Stock Exchange! (Three lessons)
This maths activity has been used by my class at the end of exams - and it has been one of the most interesting and engaging maths projects I've ever been involved with. There are three years of trading, with each year taking about an hour of class time, or one lesson.
The class is split into teams of three and is given a share in each of eight fictional companies in a city called Sick City.
They then have trading windows where they can exchange their shares for those of other teams, predictin

Game Theory and Drama for Kids
Most kids are convinced math is boring. Use drama and humour to get them doing (university level) strategic thinking and have fun at the same time. Game theory is a study of strategic decision making. In this game, kids act out the part of a judge, a bailiff, two criminals and a police officer or two. The goal is to spend as little time in jail as possible. What's the best way to do that? Play the game to find out.
With game theory and some drama thrown in, math truly can be something incredibl
