Data,+Probability+and+Statistics

Becket Jadush - Week 2
[] An action-packed site for elementary and middle school students. They can practice their math skills, play logic games and have some fun!

Jim Casey- Week 2
[] This site give some interesting information on probability. There is a section called probability central that gives at least five different lessons on probability. There is also a gaming sections in which you could play probability poker. Finally I like the probability calculator provided.

Sara Stull-Week 2
[] is an interactive website that allows students to practice probability using coins, dice, cards, marbles and spinners. The website offers 19 probability activities that allow students to chart, graph, and create ratios of their work.

Susan Walton - Week 2
[] is an interacive website that allows the student to practice probability simple and independent events in a quiz form.

Kate Sekely - Week 2
====[] is a website that provides procedures and lessons for traditional hands-on activities to do with your class to learn about probabilities. Templates can be downloaded and created by the teacher and/or the students to have an interactive class "game".====

__Debby Coyle--Week 2__
This is a great website to start off for special education students prior to teaching combinations. We started off in my class and the students were able to understand the concept prior to teaching the procedure. []

Holly Meade Week 2

Here is another great website game dealing with probability. The game has two colors of fish in a tank and asks students to create a fish tank based on specific probabilities. The game has three levels which makes it appropriate for grades 4-7. It also has a great tutorial section, and even small tips to help students if they get frustrated with one problem. Again this is a nice way to review, yet still fun and interactive at the same time. While here check out the other great sites linked to the BBC. []

Amy Haynes - Week 5 [] This is a great website to use when introducing or reviewing various concepts about probability. Students are able to watch a video tutorial explaining the concept they are working on in a fun, story-like manner. After viewing the video teaching or reviewing the concept, students are then able to participate in a variety of activities to test what they have learned and know. What I liked best about the concept on this site was the fact that students receive adequate exposure to a variety of probability situations such as: basic probability, compund events, independent and dependent events, statistics, and even mean, median, mode, and range.

Megan Clough- Week 1 [] This is a great website for many aspects of Math that I found from usins PDE-SAS(which is amazing for finding many different resources!). My favorite part is the Probability tab. From this tab there are many interactive tools to use when working with probability. The spinner and coin are fun because you could do the activity with an actual spinner or coin but this way you are using the computer and with the coin it is quieter, which is extremely helpful in my Autistic Support Classroom.

Cynthia Paul-Week 2 [] This site defines certain and impossible events. The student will identify as certain or impossible, and to compute the probabilities of these events. Interactive spinners and dice are included. The student takes a short quiz after reading and working with the interactive spinners and dice. It also includes a section on math webquests, puzzles and lessons. Great site for 5th or 6th grade.

Wendy Yurkanin- Week 2 This website [] allows your students to change the possible outcome on a spinner and then to randomly spin and keep track outcomes.

Maura Schofield - Week 2 [] This site has spinner games and other various data and probability games for students of all ages. It is great practice, and there are clear directions. Students can play independently or with a friend. If teachers have access to proper technology, this can be used in whole group on a Promethean Board, Smart board, or projector.

Nicole Mackrell--Week 2 [|www.mathforum.org] I found this website helpful to look up information when doing the problems on ALEKS.

Elise Clifford- Week 4 [] This website is great for teachers who are looking for worksheets.

Nicole Mackrell--Week 3 [|www.education.com] This website has different activities for different subjects and grade levels. One activity I liked was using a deck of cards to play a game reviewing mean, median and mode.

Loni Morgan- Week 3 I have an old set of worksheet called Pizzaz Math that I received form a retiring collegue. They are on specific pre-algebra and algebra problems. It has problems to solve and then a silly puzzle to solve at the bottom. If the problems are done correctly, the puzzle will make sense. I like to look at them myself to review skills. If anyone can find them its a great resource!

Carol Lavelle - Week 3 I found a great website at [] that provides games and practice with probability. There is a coin flip, dice roll, puzzles, picks, and other games. They are simple, easy-to-follow, and age-appropriate. A probability problem I had fun with and finally figured out was the outcome of rolling two dice. If you write out all thirty-six possible combinations, it is easy to see how many combinations are divisible by four (for example) or any number of other questions.

David Shafer - Week 3 []

This is a great tool and website for kids looking to improve in mathematics. It offers different areas of content in mathematics and also has an area that focuses on probability. I use this site in my classroom when talking about probability.

Laura Bohlig - Week 4 [] This particular lesson describes how to use the game SKUNK to teach middle scool students about probability. The lesson also has links to printables and extention activities. I have seen the game played. It it great.
