Ninth graders assess the accuracy and reliability of current survey data and how it is represented. They design a survey, collect data, and use technology to analyze the data and present the results. Students examine scatter plots and...

Learners calculate percent change and create lists of data. They enter the corresponding bushels of corn measured in billions to their list and display, then convert the acres into scientific notation and use the value on the home screen...

In this algebra instructional activity, students complete two tables of information comparing their estimate versus actual amount with the aid of a graphing calculator. There are 12 questions.

Young mathematicians explore the maximun area for patio with the added complexity of finding the mimimum cost for construction. First, they maximize the area of a yard given a limited amount of fence and  plot width v. area on a...

With many factors leading to a great athlete, does height make Usain Bolt unfairly fast? Middle schoolers conduct analysis to change the running distance of the Olympic races to be proportional to the height of the participants. They...

Students find a correlation between a person's height and his/her shoe size. They have access to entering data into lists on a graphing calculator and can complete scatter plots. Students read and interpret a scatter plot and use the...

Seventh graders follow a step-by-step guide for using graphing calculator to determine equations which best fit data graphed. They gather data from various sites on the web, or they do searches to find information necessary to complete...

Students evaluate equations and identify graphs. In this statistics lesson, students identify plotted points on a coordinate plane as having a positive, negative or no correlation. They complete basic surveys, plot their results and...

Do homework grades really determine test scores? Learn whether lines of best fit, correlation coefficients, and residuals can be used to determine test scores when given homework grades. (It would certainly save teachers time in grading...

In this Algebra I/Algebra II worksheet, students determine the line of best fit for a scatter plot and use the information to make predictions involving interpolation or extrapolation.  The one page worksheet contains one multiple...

Ensure your eighth graders get the most out of their math education with this series of Common Core checklists. Rewriting each standard as an "I can" statement, this resource helps teachers keep a record of when each standard was...

Students investigate the growth rate of a man named Bob Wadlow.  In this growth rate of a man lesson, students determine if the growth rate of this particular man was normal or abnormal.  Students bring in data of their height...

Students graph linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between linear equations and scatter plots.They identify the best fit line as having a positive or negative slope. They find the y-intercept and use it to...

Students calculate the equation of the line of best fit. In this statistics lesson, students create scatter plots and find the line of best fit going through their data. They make predictions and draw conclusions.

Students work to develop surveys and collect data. They display the data using circle graphs, histograms, box and whisker plots, and scatter plots. Students use multimedia tools to develop a visual presentation to display their data.

Eighth graders examine batteries in a series circuit and the associated voltage. They determine, through inquiry and problem solving, that the total voltage of batteries in a series is the sum of the voltage of each battery. They design...

Learners explore reflections on a coordinate plane in this lesson. They trace their hand on a grid, determine the coordinates of each point, and create a scatter plot of their points. Pupils use this information to investigate aspect...

Third graders predict how many times they'll see the word "the" in a newspaper page and highlight all the "the"s they find. After reviewing definitions of range, median, mode, mean they create a Stem and Leaf Plot and a Back-to-Back Stem...

Students read real world problems, determine the variables, and set up the function using algebraic statements. After entering data into the graphing calculator, they display information in the form of graphs and scatter plots. ...

Students make a box and whiskers plot using the TI-73 graphing calculator. Each student would have their own calculator but they would work in small groups of two or three to help each other enter the data and make the plots.

Tenth graders investigate the circumference and diameter of a circle. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders relate circumference to diameter. They create a scatter plot to estimate the value of pi.

Learners identify the line of best fit. In this statistics lesson plan, students analyze graphs and plots to identify positive, negative or no correlation. They find the line of best fit for different scatter plots.

Students examine scatterplots and determine the equation of a line using the slope-intercept method. Students interpret graphs, draw inferences, and sketch a curve of best fit for the graph. Based upon patterns in the graphs, students...

Eighth graders study about precipitation and graph the information. They look for patterns in a scatter graph and make inferences based on what they see. They need to see a relationship between location and the amount of precipitation.
