Data,+Probability+and+Statistics

This web site was developed to help students improve their math skills interactively. Kids can play exciting games and test their math skills at the same time. THey can create and print their own set of flash cards. You can print your own worksheets. There is a game room and a homework helper. Plus lots more. []

This site has a few games kids can use to practice finding the probability of certain events. One example of a game is a the coin toss problem. It is interactive, but has limited graphics.

This website is callled KidsZone. I love playing around on this site and so do my students. When working with Data, probability and statistics, this website has a graph page. Graphs and charts are great because they communicate information visually, which helps most of my students. There are five different graphs and charts for students to work with and learn how to create. The site exaples step by step how to create the graph and what kind of information you may want to use the graph or chart for. There are plenty of examples as well. Mary Ann Durkin, W#4

http://www.mathgoodies.com/lessons/toc_vol6.html This website contains the following information and activities for probability. ~Erin Kozlowski [] is a website that explains the Pennsylvania Statistic Poster contest. I have done this contest before and have used examples to teach some of my classes about statistics. Students basically need to develop a question that can be answered by researching statistics. There are also grade categories. -Mike Zwanch

**Website URL**: [] *Click the link at the bottom of the page. **Summary of Site Content:** This website is one of SAS’s web-based resources. In this lesson, students will find possible outcomes, and which outcomes are most likely or least likely to occur. Before completing problems, students will review vocabulary and their meaning with examples that are provided on the site. Students then complete problems on probability, and they can check their answers using the drop box located next to each problem. A written explanation is given for each question. This lesson is appropriate for grade level(s) 4 - 5. Mallory Zoeller

The attached webpage allows the user to explore theoretical probabilities by changing the area of the colored regions of the circle. When a section is added it decreases the other sections by an equal amount in order to add the new sector. When this occurs, the probability that that particular color will be landed on will change. Thus, the student can visually see the changes that are taking place. [] Michelle Mazzucca
