Candy Probability: Discovery of EXPERIMENTAL vs. THEORETICAL Probability
Middle Schoolers LOVE probability!
This is a GREAT lesson around Halloween when the kids are already hyped up on sugar and want to 'talk' to their classmates.
This activity allows the students to DISCOVER the differences between EXPERIMENTAL and THEORETICAL probability and connect it to everyday experiences. The probability lesson lends itself to fractions, decimals, percents, data collection, rational & irrational numbers, statistical graphs (box and whiskers, frequency tables...), measu

Spring into Statistics Data Displays and Measures of Center Lab
This is a hands-on lab that teaches about Statistical Questions, Data Displays (dot/line plot, histograms, box plots) and Measures of Center (mean, median, mode, and range). The lab includes notes pages, examples with answer keys, and a final project in which the student can survey classmates and create a "flower" by using their data to find mean, median, mode, range. They will also create a box plot, histogram and dot plot.

Real-Life Statistics Project
Students must think of a survey question that can be answered numerically. Then, they must go out into their community or school and ask at least 15 people their question. After collecting their data, they must find the minimum, maximum, range, mean, median, and mode. Also, they must graph their results, and answer a few reflection questions about their data.
I have my kids put all of this information on a poster or make a powerpoint presentation to show the class. I find this activity re

Counting the Stars in the Universe
How many stars are there? I was asked this many times. I developed a lab for 6th graders that would allow them to get an idea about how big that number is. This lab fits the NGSS Scientific and Engineering Practices, " Developing and Using Models", Analyzing and Interpreting Data", "Using Mathematics and Computational Thinking" It also meets the following Crosscutting Concepts: "Scale, Proportion and Quantity", "Systems and System Models".
