Ninth graders assess the accuracy and reliability of current survey data and how it is represented. They design a survey, collect data, and use technology to analyze the data and present the results. Students examine scatter plots and...

Students work with data about commercial fishing ofsalmon in Alaska. Students gather data, graph it, and analyze it.

When it comes to rating educational calculators, this calculator is always near the top of this list. Now it's available as an app. There is a lot of calculator power wrapped up in this app. Not only is this a fully functioning...

We landed on the moon with less computing capabilities than you can find in this app! Here is a multiple function calculator that takes all the power you get from a handheld and adds the wonderful large screen that only a tablet can...

How can you safely model exponential growth and decay? A hands-on activity uses candies to model not only exponential decay, but also exponential growth. Exponential equations are fitted by hand and by use of a calculator...

Is there a correlation between the number of coffee shops and the amount of crime in a given area? In this quick exercise, your class will examine the data, interpret the results, and discuss their conclusion. Concepts covered include...

Students discuss line graphs and scatter plots and the best situations in which to use them. Using the graphs, they determine the type of correlation between variables on a scatterplot. They create a scatterplot and line graph from a...

Students graph and analyze data using a spreadsheet.

In this scatterplots worksheet, students construct a scatter plot from a given data set. Students then answer 4 questions regarding the least-squares regression line and making predictions.

Students explore the concept of linear regression. In this linear regression lesson plan, students do a Barbie bungee activity where they collect linear data. Students plot their data using a scatter plot. Students determine a line of...

Students test Leonardo da Vinci's view of the human body by measuring various body parts using a tape measure. They create a data table and a scatter plot and then analyze and interpret the results using a graphing calculator.

Students study the functional relationships of a variety of problems. For this functional relationship lesson, students determine the dependent and independent quantities of a given set of data. Students record the data and...

Middle and high schoolers explore the concept of linear modelling.  In this linear modelling activity, pupils find the line of best fit for life expectancy data of Canadians. They compare life expectancies of men and women, and find...

High schoolers investigate linear, quadratic and exponential equations using the TI calculator. They identify relation and functions using ordered pairs, graph the data, analyze the data, and relate it to real-world situations.

An inquiry-based algebra lesson explores real-world applications of linear functions. Scholars investigate four different situations that can be modeled by linear functions, identifying the rate of change, as well as the...

High schoolers investigate different types of correlation in this statistics lesson. They identify positive, negative and no correlation as it relates to their data. They then find the line of best fit for the plotted data.

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...

Young scholars analyze patterns of exponential models by collecting data in paper folding and M&M investigations. They use graphing calculators to create scatter plots that lead to equations for the exponential models. They then...

Students analyze data and make inferences. In this algebra lesson, students collect and analyze data as they apply it to the real world.

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...

Students view a video clip about unemployment. They research data and create a scatter plot graph. They discover the importance of graphs and what they can tell us. They create their own publication on unemployment.

New skills are developed as young scholars use graphing calculators and ranger technology to capture and graph the sequence of bounces a ball makes when dropped. After recording the height of four or more bounces, they use the collected...

Pupils investigate linear, quadratic, and exponential regressions. They plot sets of data points, determine the regression equation that best fits the data and lastly investigate the coefficient of determination.

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.
