Simulate C-14 decay using M&M and Reese's Pieces candies. In this scatter-plot lesson, students perform an experiment to simulate the half life of C-14. Information is plotted on a scatter-plot. Students answer four comprehension...

In this statistics worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 10 various types of problems that include using different types of graphs to illustrate data. First, they determine the median score for each stem-and-leaf plot. Then, students...

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...

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...

Put the better archer in a box. The performance task has pupils compare the performance of two archers using box-and-whisker plots. The resource includes sample responses that are useful in comparing individuals' work to others.

Statistically speaking, the content covers several grades. Featuring all of the statistics typically covered in a college-level Statistics course, the expansive content spans from sixth grade on up to high school. Material...

Drink your coffee, then marvel over the rise of Starbucks. Scholars use provided data on the number of Starbucks stores from 1987 through 2014 to create scatter plots. They then determine the equation for the curve that best fits the...

Don't put the resource on curves of best fit out on the curb. Using researched data on trash and recycling, scholars create scatter plots and regression curves to analyze the information. As a culminating activity, they complete projects...

Learners explore the concept of distance v. time. They use a CBR to collect data on their distance over time, then plot their data using a scatter plot and find an equation to model their data. Pupils discuss what if scenarios which...

How good is the fit? Using an interactive, classmates create a scatter plot of bivariate data and fit their own lines of best fit. The applet allows pupils to display the regression line along with the correlation coefficient. As a final...

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...

Determine how close the line is to the scatter plot. Clear video instruction shows how to plot a scatter plot and find the best fit line using the linear regression function on a calculator. Pupils use the information from the calculator...

Explore the mathematical relationship between a solvent and solute. Learners use technology to measure the cooling patterns of a solvent with varying concentrations of solute. Through an analysis of the data, pupils realize that the...

If a car gets heavier, it goes farther? By running an activity several times, teams experience Newton's Second Law of Motion. The teams vary the amount of weight they catapult off a wooden block car and record the distance the...

Go around and around with slope. The class investigates tornadoes by watching videos, building a homemade tornado, and performing research on the Storm Prediction Center website. Groups gather data and create scatter plots for twisters...

Playing with matches (unlit, of course) becomes an engaging learning experience in this fun instructional unit. Teach pupils how to apply properties of exponential functions to solve problems. They differentiate between quadratic and...

Learners collect data and create a graph. In this algebra instructional activity, students describe functions graphically, algebraically and verbally. They identify functions as being independent and dependent using variables.

Using the TI-Nspire calculator, statisicians identify outliers and their effect on the least-squares regression line. In finding the line of best fit, they determine what points will affect the least squares regressions and what points...

You'll be sold on using the resource. Future consumers first conduct a sample survey on marketing strategies. They then consider how mass media influences their age groups and create presentations to display their findings.

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,...

Mass and density — aren't they the same thing? This activity has groups use balance beams and water displacement to measure several objects. The pupils use the measurements to calculate the density of the objects. 

A well-designed, comprehensive, and attractive slide show supports direct instruction on how sonar and echolocation work. Contained within the slides are links to interactive websites and instructions for using apps on a mobile device to...

High schoolers collect and graph data. In this statistics lesson, students analyze their plotted data using a scatter plot. They identify lines as having positive, negative or no correlation.

High schoolers investigate perimeter patterns formed by a hexagon and a triangle. They will identify the dependent and independent variable and write a function for the relationship.
