Goldie’s Unit 3 Projects & Activities for AP® Statistics | Inference for Categorical Data: Proportions | NEW 2026 CED

AP Statistics Unit 3 – Inference for Categorical Data: Proportions

Projects and Activities Bundle

 

Bring Unit 3 to life with this collection of engaging projects and activities for AP® Statistics. This bundle is designed to reinforce key concepts from sampling distributions, confidence intervals, and hypothesis testing, while helping students think critically, analyze real data, and apply statistical reasoning.

 

Aligned to the new 2026/27 AP® Statistics Course and Exam Description (CED), these activities go beyond notes and homework to give students meaningful, hands-on practice with probability and random variables.

 

What’s Included:

11 ready-to-use projects and activities, all fully editable and designed for easy classroom implementation. Files are provided in Word or PowerPoint format, along with PDFs, answer keys, and rubrics where appropriate.

 

Activities & Projects:

 

Population, Sample, and Sampling with Yellow M&Ms Activity: Students use M&Ms to explore populations, samples, and sampling distributions.

 

An Introduction to Confidence Intervals – A Simulation Activity: Students use a card simulation to build and interpret confidence intervals.

 

Confidence Levels with Yellow M&Ms Activity: Students construct multiple confidence intervals to explore confidence levels and sampling variability.

 

Exploring p-Values and Type I Error M&M Activity: Students use M&Ms to explore p-values and Type I error.

 

Inference for Proportions Circuit Activity: Students solve problems on confidence intervals, significance tests, conditions, and inference.

 

Unit 3 Part 1 Project: Simulation Project: Students use simulation technology to construct and interpret confidence intervals.

 

Jeopardy Review Game: Students review topics 3.1 – 3.8 in a classic game show style review game.

 

Matching Confidence Intervals and Significance Tests Activity: Students match inference procedures and solve confidence interval and significance test problems.

 

Inference Error Analysis Activity: Students identify and correct errors in statistical inference and calculator use.

 

Unit 3 Part 2 Project: Chi-Square Survey Analysis: Students conduct a survey and analyze the results using chi-square procedures.

 

Trivia Review Game: Students review topics 3.9 – 3.15 in a classic trivia night game.

 

Key Features:

• 100 percent editable files to fit your teaching style
• PDF versions and answer keys included
• Strong alignment to the 2026–2027 AP® Statistics CED
• Designed for real classrooms with clear instructions and structure

 

These activities are also included in Goldie’s AP® Statistics Full Curriculum, the complete Unit 3 curriculum bundle, and Goldie's AP® Statistics Projects & Activities Bundle, making them easy to integrate into a full course plan.

 

If you are looking for engaging AP® Statistics activities, projects, and review games that reinforce core concepts while keeping students involved, this bundle is a strong addition to your Unit 3 resources.
