South Carolina Academic Standards for Mathematics 5th grade Data Analysis and Probability:The student will demonstrate through the mathematical processes an understanding of investigation design, the effect of data-collection methods on a data set, the interpretation and application of the measures of central tendency, and the application of basic concepts of probability.
Lesson (...)
Lesson: Students learn what bar graphs are used for, how to interpret the data presented, and how to organize their own data using bar graphs.
Lesson: Introduces students to probability simulation, allowing them to explore computer modeling while learning about probability.
Lesson: This lesson will challenge students to think creatively by having them design and build water balloon catchers from random scrap materials, while requiring them to take into consideration a multitude of variables. Students will then construct at least two bar graphs to be used in a commercial advocating the purchase of their group's catcher.
Lesson: This lesson teaches students about theoretical and experimental probability through a series of work stations.
Lesson: Students learn about probability by predicting the outcome of planned experiments and playing racing games.
Lesson: Students learn about how probability can be represented using geometry.
Lesson: Students use probability to determine how likely it is for each tree in a small simulated forest to catch on fire.
Activity (...)
Activity: Create a game spinner with variable sized sectors to look at experimental and theoretical probabilities. Parameters: Sizes of sectors, number of sectors, number of trials.
Activity: Enter data to create a bar graph, then change many settings for the graph's appearance.
Activity: Enter data and view the mean, median, variance, and standard deviation of the data set. Parameters: Number of observations, range for observations, which statistics to view, identifiers for the data.
Activity: PlopIt allows users to build dot plots of data using the mouse. View how the mean, median, and mode change as entries are added to the plot. Parameters: Range for observations.
Activity: View stem-and-leaf plots of your own data, and then practice finding means, medians and modes. Stem and Leaf Plotter is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
