What Happened to the Mean and Median
Students find the mean, median and mode. In hs statistics lesson, students collect, plot and analyze data. The identify the effect the central tendency have on the data and line.
Curated OER
Modeling Population Growth
Students collect data on population growth. For this statistics lesson, students graph their data and make predictions. They find the linear regression and the best fit line.
Curated OER
Algebra II: Quadratic Functions
Students collect and organize data, make a scatterplot, fit a curve to the appropriate parent function, and interpret the results. Students translate among the various representations of the quadratic function, formulate equations, use a...

Deflate-gate
Does temperature affect the air pressure of a football? Young mathematicians look at the readings from a pressure gauge and determine if the balls are within regulation or are under inflated.
Curated OER
Typhoon Project
Students graph and outline the path of a typhoon. In this algebra lesson, students measure the path of the typhoon and create a graph with their data. They analyze the data and make predictions.
Curated OER
Get a Half-life!
Students use m&m candies as their sample set. They begin by counting the total number of candies to determine their sample size. Students put the candies into a cup and shake them gently before pouring them onto a paper plate. Count...

Conductivity of salt Solutions
Students investigate the concentration level of solutions. For this math/science lesson, students identify three different ionic compounds. They predict the conductivity of each using their collected data.
Curated OER
Linear Functions
Students solve and graph linear equations. For this algebra lesson, students collect data and plot it to create a linear function. They identify the domain and range of each line.
Curated OER
Linear and Exponential Growth
Students explore the concept of linear and exponential growth. In this linear and exponential growth lesson, students collect data about China's population. Students model the data to determine if it is linear or exponential.
Curated OER
Probability Distributions
Students collect and plot data on a graph. For this statistics lesson, students analyze the distribution of a sample and predict the outcome. They find the line of best fit and discuss what would make the sample larger.
