This resource consists of a Java applet and Expository text. The applet simulates the probability plot that compares the empirical quantiles of a sample from a sampling distribution to the distribution quantiles of a test distribution. The sampling distribution, test distribution, and sample size can be specified.

Determining and representing outcomes in a simple event. Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

This resource consists of a Java applet and descriptive text. The applet illustrates the problem of points: a coin is tossed until either n heads occurs or m tails occurs. The parameters n, m, and the probability of heads can be varied.

This lesson sequence offers students and teachers a way to develop data science skills using low technology skills through a series of “unplugged” activities, where students engage in data science learning without using computational tools. This material was created by Sara Fergus, Christa VanOlst, & Jon Stapleton for CodeVA with support from Capital One.

This lesson sequence offers students and teachers a way to develop data science skills using the CODAP “low-code” data analysis tool. View the materials on Google Drive or PDF. This material was created by Sara Fergus, Christa VanOlst, & Jon Stapleton for CodeVA with support from Capital One.

This lesson sequence offers students and teachers a way to develop data science skills using the Python programming language through a mix of “plugged” and “unplugged” activities.

This resource consists of a Java applet and descriptive text. The applet illustrates a random walk on a discrete time interval from 0 to n. The time n and the probability of a step to the right can be varied. The random variables of interest are the final position, the maximum position, and the time of the last zero.

Gathering and organizing data to construct graphsMathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

This resource consists of a Java applet and expository text. The applet simulates the red and black experiment in which a player bets on a sequence of Bernoulli trials until a target fortune is reached or the player is ruined. The initial fortune, target fortune, and trial win probability can be varied, and the user can select either of two basic strategies: timid play or bold play.

This resource consists of a Java applet and expository text. The applet allows the student to play the game of red and black, by betting on a sequence of Bernoulli trials until either a target is reached or the player is ruined. The target, initial fortune, and trial win probability can be varied.

Collect and analyze data using a boxplot. Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom. 

This resource consists of a Java applet and expository text. The applet is a simulation of the standard casino roulette game. The random variables of interest are the winning under various bets.

 This is a fun, quick and easy way for students practice Data Anaylsis. Students will roll a 6 sided cube with each side containing a different St. Pat’s Day image. Students will record their data on a graph. Students will then make a prediction on which image they think they will roll next based on their data. Included is an editable cube so you can choose your own images. It's not limited to St. Pat's Day.

The resource consists of a Java applet and expository text. The applet illustrates the distribution of the sample mean of a random sample from a given distribution. The sample size and the sampling distribution can be specified. The applet illustrates the central limit theorem.

Estimate the line of best fit with a drawing for data represented in a scatterplot.Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

In this open-ended performance task, students use probability for decision-making in a practical game show-style scenario. In doing so, students analyze, interpret and make predictions based on theoretical probability within a practical context. Determine conditional probabilities for dependent and independent events.
