Students analyze the pros and cons of completing a 4 year school. In this statistics lesson, students complete surveys and use E-STAT to graph their data. They learn to plot and build diagrams.

Students observe an earthquake demonstration. They research an earthquake and use color dots to plot the location of each of their earthquakes on the large map.

Older learners consider a list of famous people, and they fill in two columns; one in which they guess the celebrities' ages, and another where they look up their actual age.  They construct a graph by assigning one of the columns...

High schoolers analyze the vertex form of a parabola and find an approximate fit of a model. They explain the quadratic parabola function and its properties by developing quadratic models. They use translation and dilation to change the...

Using a data collection device to collect data regarding a bouncing ball, students use various features on graphing calculators to experiment with the parameters of the vertex form of the parabola and their effect on the shape of the...

How can you see a number in nature? Here, learners discover both Fibonacci numbers and the golden ratio by exploring a number of different resources.  Note: Some of the resources are older and may be missing some of the links, but...

Students design an experiment to test the variables involved in the hatching of the Bruchid beetle.

Students observe and count bird sightings around their schoolyard throughout the school year.

Eighth graders do a research project on a particular species of Atlantic seafood and record and graph information pertaining to commercial landings of that species of seafood. They use a website and an Appleworks spreadsheet.

Eighth graders research a variety of military statistics while using the theme of Remebering Our Veterans. They use data management to plan and create a PowerPoint presentation with their findings. They incorporate different types of...

Learners create constant speed versus motion graphs. They will perform linear regressions on their data to describe the graphs mathematically.

High Schoolers use the TI-83 calculator to produce a sequence, explore patterns and find a linear or quadratic equation for a given pattern. They use inductive reasoning to make conjectures about patterns. They find the Y-value of a...

Students use the data from USA TODAY Snapshot "World population milestones" to explore and explain the trends in the world population.

High schoolers read about the changes in the "new money" and then create a graph to represent various combinations of currency produced.

How does chemistry help deep-sea explorers? Part four of a five-part series of lessons from aboard the Okeanos Explorer introduces middle school scientists to technologies used in ocean exploration. Groups work together to analyze data...

Students investigate Income and gender preference. In this statistic lesson, students collect data of Income to see if one gender makes more than the other. Students examine the data and draw conclusions.    

High schoolers graph and analyze data using a spreadsheet.

Learners solve systems of equations with radical expressions. After reading real life situation, they translate the problem into algebraic expressions. As a class, students solve quadratic equations and inequalities by graphing and...

In this two-step linear equations worksheet, 7th graders solve 15 various problems that include linear equations with more than one-step. First, they need to get the variable, x, alone by subtracting/adding the whole number on the same...

Students model quadratic equations. For this algebra lesson, students are given data to graph using a function. They investigate vertex and transformation of quadratic functions.  

Students investigate quadratics through word problems. In this algebra lesson, students models the number of registered males in apprenticeship programs. They investigate the transformation of quadratic function on a coordinate plane.

Students analyze linear functions. In this algebra lesson, students create a linear model to relate coordinate pairs. They evaluate and solve equations.

Students create graphic, algebraic and verbal ideas of functions. In this algebra instructional activity, students graph functions and identify the zeros of the functions. They find the domain and range and classify functions as relation...

Pupils make equations from everyday data. They create a graph from the equations. Students predict and analyze the results. Pupils complete the second scenario on their own and turn in their handout.
