2. Venn Diagram Shape Sorter  This online activity has the student sort objects into a Venn diagram based on size, color, and shape. The can either choose the rules and then do the sorting to match, or they can do the sorting to try to discover the rules.  

4. Compare different representations of the same data to evaluate how well each representation shows important aspects of the data, and identify appropriate ways to display the data.

1. Comparing Graphs - Excel Activity This is an Excel spreadsheet activity. In it three different sets of data (earnings, votes, heights) are shown with three different types of graphs (line, bar, circle). The student is to compare the different graphs to determine which is the best representation.

5.     Propose and explain interpretations and predictions based on data displayed in tables, charts and graphs.

1. Pie Chart – Explore percentages and fractions using pie charts.
2. Spinners – Work with spinners to learn about numbers and probabilities.

6.       Describe the characteristics of a set of data based on a graphical representation, such as range of the data, clumps of data, and holes in the data.

7.       Identify the median of a set of data and describe what it indicates about the data.

1. Mean -  Mode  - Median  Great website to show the student the difference.  Just click on start.
2. ReviseWise - Mode, median, mean This web site uses colorful animation and great explanations to teach about mean, median, and mode. After the instruction, the students can take an online quiz to assess their understanding.
3. Comparing Data - Excel Activity  This is an Excel spreadsheet activity in which the student enters data and then the spreadsheet generates several measures of that data such as mean, median, mode, quartiles, and range. The student can then investigate the measures to compare the different sets of data.

2. Mean, Median, and Mode Game  Great game to teach mean, median, and mode.
3. Finding median Interactive game for finding the median of a series of numbers. Immediate feedback for student.

1. Box Model - Virtual Manipulative This online activity models a probability experiment of pulling numbers from a box. First, the user decides which numbers, and how many of each, are in a box. Then the computer begins randomly drawing numbers and keeping totals. Superimposed can be a graph of the expected theoretical probabilities. This is excellent to show real v. theoretical probability, and the effect of the number of trials on the results.

12.  Place events in order of likelihood and use a diagram or appropriate language to compare the chance of each event occurring; e.g., impossible, unlikely, equal, likely, certain.

13.   List and count all possible combinations using one member from each of several sets, each containing 2 or 3 members; e.g., the number of possible outfits from 3 shirts, 2 shorts and 2 pairs of shoes.

1. Disguise Combos game  In this online interactive game the student determines by experiment how many possible disguise combinations there are, given several pieces to work with. After each round, the mathematical formula for combinations is used for the problem.
