This site was created by the National Center for Education Statistics. While it is aimed towards children, teachers can use this website to spark ideas when teaching probability and graphing in mathematics. By clicking on 'Graph' on the top toolbar, students can enter data and decide to create pie charts, bar graphs, line graphs, and more. The site provides math teasers, quizzes, and even allows children to explore probability through a game using dice.The dice game allows you to see how increasing or decreasing the number of dice rolls affects an outcome. This would be a great site to have students access sometime throughout the year when focusing on graphing and probability!

Scholastic.com offers lesson plan ideas for all subjects areas and grade levels K-12. I found 516 math lesson plans that cover standards such as probability, addition and subtraction, geometry, etc. The math lesson plans featured are thorough and even include objectives and links to worksheets to be used along with them. I found one interesting lesson plan where students had to estimate and practice deciding how much water could be put into a glass jar. Activities such as these allows students to be active in their math education! This is a great site for teachers to find lesson plans!

This mathematics forum website is a great resource for possible activity ideas to use with your students. The main page of this website includes six main link sections: numbers and operations, algebra, data analysis and probability, measurement, geometry, and other resources. Each of these subcategories has an array of possible topic areas and activities to go along with these areas. These activities are aligned with the NCTM standards and often include the use of manipulatives.

This website gives different interactive games and puzzles that teachers can have the student use for extra practice. It includes many different topics including probability, algebra and geometry.
