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

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. Articulate the differences between indep

This exciting and interactive unit is based in the Common Core State Standards - specifically covering the Statistics and Probability domain for 6th and 7th grade. There are 10 lessons in all that teach students about probability, mean and median, statistical variation, and much more. Students will also build a team of players from scratch, participating in a live auction to do so. Students will then play interactive games against each other, and keep track of the player statistics through it a

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. This is

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

This 25-slide PowerPoint presentation describes what Mean Absolute Deviation is and how to calculate it. The lesson uses two sets of sample data that turn out to have the same mean & median and a common range. Mean absolute deviation is introduced as another measurement that will show the difference in the two data sets. The presentation is designed to have students work with the sample data as well so they can learn as they go along. Content is based on common core standard CCSS.Math.Conten

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

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
