In this math lesson, learners identify the likelihood of an event by using a walk-on probability scale.
Statistics: Whirlybirds
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners measure, predict and determine the frequency of an event as it relates to how close Whirlybirds land to a target.
Statistics: Something Fishy
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners apply the concepts of ratio and proportion to the capture-recapture statistical procedure.
Probability: Rock Around The Clock
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners apply the Monte Carlo method of simulation to determine a reasonable estimate.
Drip, Drop, Drip, Drop
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners design an experiment to model a leaky faucet and determine the amount of water wasted due to the leak.
Statistics: Button, Button
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners read "The Button Box" by Margarette S. Reid and then make their own button boxes filled with different buttons.

Probability: Remove One
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners are given 15 chips and a number line labeled from 2-12.
Statistics: Creature Features
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners collect, organize, and analyze a set of data related to types of animals in the temperate forest.
Patterns and Functions: Fill 'er Up
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners predict, interpret, and sketch graphs of functions related to the shapes of bottles. A measure of water is poured into a container.
Computation and Estimation: Roll Out The Barrel
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners apply mathematical modeling to solve a real-world storage problem, in which a manufacturing company is given two options for storing oil barrels.
Up, Up, and Away
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners explore the real world meaning of slope. Learners conduct a balloon experiment in which they measure the circumference and flight time of deflating balloons.
Exploring Measurement
Source Institutions
In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity, learners use their bodies to measure a room. Instead of inches or feet, how many kids does it take to measure the length of a room?
Estimation Exploration
Source Institutions
In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity from Episode 103: Enough With the Seashells!, learners practice estimating numbers of objects (like shells) and then check their estimates by counting.
Friction Racing
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the unseen force of friction and how surfaces can slow moving objects at different rates.
Growing Plants
Source Institutions
In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity from Episode 107: My Shrinking Shoes, learners observe how plants change as they grow.
