Eighth graders use data from surveys conducted with parents, peers and themselves to create computer-generated scatterplots. They make inferences from their scatterplots.

Students estimate and compute with rational numbers. They compare, order and convert among fractions, decimals and percents. Students analyze problems to determine if there is sufficient or extraneous data to solve.

Seventh graders investigate the concept of functions and how they are used in the context of the real world while identifying the dependent and independent variables. They graph relations and functions and find the zeros of functions....

Seventh graders utilize data collected from various sources based on Canadian military statistics to consolidate their understanding of data management. Students plan and create a PowerPoint presentation using this data including in...

Students participate in a variety of instructional experiences about Computer Science. They define Computational Science and describe computational simulation. They also compare and contrast Computational Science and Computer Science.

Students find an advertisement or newspaper using charts or graphs. They create another graph using the same information in a different format. They write a comparison of the two graphs.

Video program showing how to use a scatter plot to illustrate relationship between response and explanatory variables, to determine patterns in variables, and to calculate least squares. Real-life examples -- manatee deaths per number of...

In this activity, students find a conversion equation that will calculate the corresponding Celsius temperature for any given Fahrenheit temperature. Students learn to graph scatter plots, analyze and graph linear equations, compute and...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Make a scatter plot of data and find the line of best fit to represent that data.

In this activity, students collect the height versus time data of a bouncing ball using the CBR 2. They find the relationship between the bounce number and the bounce height. They learn to graph scatter plots, calculate the maximum value...

In this sixth-grade lesson, learners estimate the weight of their backpacks and construct scatter plots of actual versus estimated weights.

Students quantify the percent of light reflected from solutions containing varying concentrations of red dye using LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT bricks and light sensors. They begin by analyzing a set of standard solutions with known...

This inquiry invites students to investigate human impacts on the environment. Specifically, students will examine the relationship between human population, light pollution, and how brightly celestial objects like stars appear in the...

In this Inquiry, young scholars predict the best date to host a lilac blossom festival so that lilacs are in full bloom in the city where students live. Young scholars are introduced to Project Budburst, a citizen science project in...

This inquiry is intended to provide students with practice developing investigable questions that need data, and specifically large datasets, to be answered. Click the teacher resources link for teaching guides and student handouts.

This activity is adapted from one of the TI books. Students measure lengths and widths of rectangles and record for the class to see. Each group's rectangle has the same perimeter, but different areas. After a discussion, students make...
