Use the math templates below to create spinners for probability experiments. The templates are designed to be placed in sheet protectors. Students can then customize the spinner for the particular experiment or game. Tape a transparent spinner over top the spinner template for student use. This method allows teachers to create many different spinners using templates and the plastic transparent spinners that are commercially available. This is especially effective when students are designing their own games as they can customize one of the templates or design their own on the computer. The use of the transparent spinner is more reliable than the pencil and paper clip method often suggested as a cost-saving strategy.

This article explores how statistics can be interpreted in different ways to yield different conclusions. It describes the outcome and discussion of two class activities. In the first, the results are interpreted to "show" that taking a group rather than an individual perspective is ultimately beneficial to the individual. In the second, a variation is added "showing" that telling the truth is better that lying. This resource is from PUMAS - Practical Uses of Math and Science - a collection of brief examples created by scientists and engineers showing how math and science topics taught in K-12 classes have real world applications.

Contained herein are projects for Grades 6 - 9 Math Outcomes for Stats and Probability. They are meant to use as extensions to the knowledge and skills of those outcomes and connect with real life and can be used in a Cross Curr with modifications. 

Numeracy is having the confidence and habits of mind to use mathematics to meet the general demands of everyday life. Being a numerate person means using mathematics to make sense of something new and know what mathematics can and cannot do.

Numeracy provides First Nations, Métis and Inuit students the opportunity to discover connections on their own and apply strategies to solve real life problems. Throughout history, First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples have used real life traditional learning contexts to connect to their world.

In the Empowering the Spirit video series, students explore numeracy through Traditional Games, an elementary math class on probability and a high school physics class examining the structure of a tee pee and rocket nozzle.

You can download it and extract the files. Links are also provided to other materials like videos and other suggested resources. 

The number of amazing video math tutorials available to you here will blow your mind!

There are hundreds and hundreds of videos to help you and your students or child perfect their "math game".

The videos are organized into these groups: algebra, arithmetic, calculus, differential equations, discrete math, linear algebra, probability and stats, trig and a misc category.

PhET Sims are now available in HTML5 as well!

Simulations can be sorted by subject area or grade. This is very helpful.

PhET is a collection of interactive computer simulations for teaching and learning physics, chemistry, math, and other sciences.

Simulations can be used directly on the site or downloaded and used that way.

The simulations are animated, interactive, and game-like environments where students learn through exploration. They emphasize the connections between real-life and the underlying science. These great activities help students visualize abstract concepts!

"Polypad is a collection of interactive digital manipulatives for teachers and students. The unique tools and features on Polypad enable exploration, creativity, and problem solving. Students can quickly visualize their ideas and experiment with mathematical objects, while teachers can author and share complex and highly customized activities – the possibilities are endless."
