Lesson Description:
Quirky Quiz is a fun statistics and probability activity packed full of mathematical concepts. Students complete a ten-item
multiple choice quiz that includes no questions or problems. They score their quizzes, analyze the probability of the
independent events involved (quiz items), and use bar graphs to represent their statistical results. In this lesson
students also use frequency tables, percents, exponents, and fractions.

Teacher Testimonial: Quirky Quiz is an activity that begins in a strange but fun manner, with a quiz that has no questions.
To add suspense and intrigue to the assignment give the quiz toward the end of the period and tell the students that you will
grade it and return it to them the next day. From that point on the analysis of multiple choice probability and the
statistics collected from the class will lead to a great deal of meaningful mathematics for the students.
Enjoy your lesson!!
