4-6.1 Compare how data-collection methods impact survey results.

Ideas that Lead to Probability	Lesson: Introduces students to concepts used which lead to probability.
Introduction to the Concept of Probability	Lesson: Introduces students to simple probability concepts.

4-6.2 Interpret data in tables, line graphs, bar graphs, and double bar graphs whose scale increments are greater than or equal to 1.

Histograms and Bar Graphs	Lesson: Introduction and fine points of using bar graphs and histograms.
Introduction to Bar Graphs	Lesson: This lesson allows students to learn what bar graphs are used for, how to interpret the data presented, and how to organize their own data using bar graphs.
Histogram	Activity: View histograms for built-in or user-specified data. Experiment with how the size of the class intervals influences the appearance of the histogram. Parameters: Data sets, class sizes.

4-6.3 Organize data in tables, line graphs, and bar graphs whose scale increments are greater than or equal to 1.

Graphing and the Coordinate Plane	Lesson: Students learn basic ideas about graphing points on the coordinate plane.
Histograms and Bar Graphs	Lesson: Introduction and fine points of using bar graphs and histograms.
Stem-and-Leaf Plots	Lesson: Introduces students to stem-and-leaf plots and calculating the mean, median, and mode from the plots.
Histogram	Activity: View histograms for built-in or user-specified data. Experiment with how the size of the class intervals influences the appearance of the histogram. Parameters: Data sets, class sizes.
Multi Bar Graph	Activity: Enter data to create a double bar graph, then manipulate the graph's maximum and minimum values.
Plop It!	Activity: Build line plots of data using your mouse. View how the mean, median, and mode change as entries are added to the plot. Parameters: Range for observations.
Stem and Leaf Plotter	Activity: View stem-and-leaf plots of your own data, and then practice finding means, medians and modes. Parameters: Data

4-6.4 Distinguish between categorical and numerical data.

Graphs and Functions	Lesson: Demonstrates the connections between formulas and graphs.
Histograms and Bar Graphs	Lesson: Introduction and fine points of using bar graphs and histograms.
Introduction to Bar Graphs	Lesson: This lesson allows students to learn what bar graphs are used for, how to interpret the data presented, and how to organize their own data using bar graphs.
Circle Graph	Activity: Enter your own data categories and the value of each category to create a pie chart. There are also built in data sets which can be viewed.
Histogram	Activity: View histograms for built-in or user-specified data. Experiment with how the size of the class intervals influences the appearance of the histogram. Parameters: Data sets, class sizes.

4-6.6 Predict on the basis of data whether events are likely, unlikely, certain, impossible, or equally likely to occur.

Playing with Probability	Lesson:
Probability	Lesson: Students learn about probability by predicting the outcome of planned experiments and playing racing games.
Circle Graph	Activity: Enter your own data categories and the value of each category to create a pie chart. There are also built in data sets which can be viewed.
Histogram	Activity: View histograms for built-in or user-specified data. Experiment with how the size of the class intervals influences the appearance of the histogram. Parameters: Data sets, class sizes.

4-6.7 Analyze possible outcomes for a simple event.

Playing with Probability	Lesson:
Probability: Playing with Fire	Lesson: Students use probability to determine how likely it is for each tree in a small simulated forest to catch on fire.
Coin Toss	Activity: Simulation of a coin toss allowing the user to input the number of flips thereby exploring experimental and theoretical probabilities. Toss results can be viewed as a list of individual outcomes, ratios, or table.
Dice Table	Activity: Experiment with the outcome distribution for a roll of two dice by simulating a dice throwing game. Parameters: Which player wins with which total rolled.
