Learners investigate the differences between linear and exponential models.  In this linear and exponential models lesson, students make a table of given data.  Learners determine if the data is linear or exponential by...

Students convert degrees between two different units. In this algebra lesson, students graph linear equations and identify the line of best fit. They use their line of best fit to make predictions given a set of data.

In this Mars radiation worksheet, high schoolers use data from the Mars Radiation Environment Experiment to solve 4 problems. They determine the total radiation dosage during a specific period of time, they determine the dosage during...

Statisticians take things to new heights using a set of height measurements. Students use TI-82 or TI-83 calculators to determine extreme values and the median for the data. They also construct a box-and-whisker plot to summarize the...

In this periodic functions worksheet, students use given data of the speed of a star and find the best fit periodic function that follows the trend in data. They determine the amplitude, offset phase and the formula for the angle. They...

Learn how to identify the diameter and circumference of a circle. Then, collect data on a circle and relate it to the diameter and circumference of a circle. Last, plot data and find the line of best fit.

Adjust this lesson to fit either beginning or more advanced learners. Build a scatter plot, determine appropriate model (linear, quadratic, exponential), and then extend to evaluate the model with residuals. This problem uses real-world...

For this Benford's Law learning exercise, high schoolers read about the first digit frequency of numbers. Students solve 3 problems about sunspot numbers, solar wind magnetism and the depth of the latest earthquakes by using on line...

Students explore the concept of stem and leaf plots.  In this stem and leaf plots lesson, students plot the 50 US states' capitals on a stem and leaf plot according to the first letter of each state.  Students compare...

In this statistics worksheet, students solve 2 problems that involving plotting data, recognizing ordered pairs, and analyzing the graphed relationship.

In this statistics worksheet, learners view 6 graphs to determine the correlation. Students then answer 4 questions that involve plotting data, determining a relationship, and making predictions.

Students plot the earthquake epicenter data on the base map of the North Atlantic ocean floor using different symbols or colors to characterize different values.

Students explore a variety of microclimates to develop an awareness of why organisms live where they do. Moisture, time of day, land cover, and temperature form the basic concepts of this investigation.

Pupils review the Cartesian plane and the process of plotting points. In groups, students create tables, identify the slope and y-intercept, and graph the equation. Afterward, pupils perform the same process, only, individually. As a...

Students compare and order fractions and decimals using a number line. They use rules of conversion to determine equivalencies competing problems accurately and plot points on the number line that represent the correct order of the...

In this human population worksheet, students are given data about the size of the human population from the 1800s to 1999. They plot the data and answer critical thinking questions about the changes in human population.

In this area under the curve worksheet, students use a graph of the number of exoplanets discovered and the year they were discovered to solve 5 problems. Students find the total area under the curve, they find the total number of...

Ninth graders explore data analysis.  In this Algebra I lesson, 9th graders collect and organize data to create a scatter plot.  Students use the regression feature of the calculator to find the line of best fit and use the...

Compare different random sampling types using an archaeological setting. Scholars collect data from an archaeological plot using simple random samples, stratified random samples, systematic random samples, and cluster random samples....

Students collect and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, students plot their data on a coordinate plane and find the line of best fit. They calculate the linear regression using the data.

Students gather and analyze data from sports teams. In this measures of central tendency lesson, students gather information from websites about sports team performance. Students analyze and draw conclusions from this data. This lesson...

Students review graphing terminology and how to plot data points, how to input data into a spreadsheet, and how to make a chart using a computer.

Students use a shoe box to create a seafloor model and use cardboard for layering inside of the shoe box to simulate the ocean floor. They probe the ocean floor to simulate sonar echoes. Finally, students graph their data to get a...

Now this lesson plan sounds fun! High schoolers throw a ball, film it as it soars through the air, and use a spreadsheet to collect data. A scatterplot is created to produce a quadratic regression equation, an equation in vertex form,...
