Sample Activities:

 

·        Students roll a pair of dice 100 times and make a frequency bar graph of the sums. They compare their results with those of their classmates. Do your graphs look essentially alike? Which sum or sums came up the most? Does everyone have a 'winning' sum? Is it the same for everyone? Why do some sums come up less than others?

 

·        Children are regularly asked to think about their data. Is there a pattern in the dice throws, bean growth, weather, temperature, or other data? What causes the patterns? Are the patterns in their data the same as those of their classmates?
