There are many different options for graphing data, which can be overwhelming even for experienced mathematcians. This time, the focus is on histograms and Venn diagrams that highlight the frequency of a range of data and overlap of...

The basics of number theory and set notation are explained in a highly approachable way in a self-contained instructional activity and worksheet. Introducing the vocabulary and concepts from ground zero and building to more complex...

Here is a lesson that takes an interesting approach to analyzing data using box and whisker plots.  By using an applet that dynamically generates Venn diagrams, the class forms a strategy/algorithm for guessing the rule that fits...

Students collect and display data in a Venn Diagram. In this statistics activity, students collect data, compare the data and make inferences about their data. They use the Venn diagrams to identify what the data have in common and how...

In this Algebra I/Algebra II instructional activity, students determine the intersection and union of sets and solve problems with Venn diagrams.  The three page instructional activity contains a combination of seventeen multiple...

Find probabilities of pulling cards. Using a Venn diagram, individuals sort five cards along the rules of a game. The pupils calculate compound probabilities using the information from the diagram. Initially, the interactive provides the...

In this deductive reasoning worksheet, students answer 5 questions about a Venn diagram.  Students use deductive reasoning to answer each question.

In this algebra worksheet, students use Venn Diagrams to compare and contrast their data given special equations. There are 4 questions with an answer key.

Introduce pupils to the two types of reasoning, inductive and deductive. Classmates work in pairs or small groups to learn the difference between the two and apply these reasonings to develop valid conclusions. 

If there is a conditional statement, then there is a hypothesis and conclusion. Pupils learn how to identify the parts of conditional statements. Class members continue to work with conditional statements and rewrite them in their many...

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

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...

Students collect and classify items. In this making predictions lesson, students go outside and collect specimens of plants, insects and minerals. They classify each item and place them in a Venn Diagram. Students compare and contrast...

It's probably a good idea to use the unit. Young mathematicians learn about conditional probability using Venn diagrams, tree diagrams, and two-way tables. They also take into consideration independence and the addition rules.

Examine multiple ways to solve algebraic equations. Pupils will generate a problem solving strategy that addresses the prompt given by the teacher. They will then share their problem solving strategy with the class. Graphic organizers,...

Did you know scientists can tell the age of an asteroid by looking closely at its craters? This final activity of a six-part series focuses on two asteroids, Gaspra and Ida, in order to demonstrate the concept of dating asteroids....

In this geometry worksheet, students set up and solve formulas to find missing angles and segments. When solving for x, the equations are just linear. There are 15 questions with multiple parts.

What's the least number of colors needed to color a U.S. map? The lesson begins by having pupils view a video clip on continuous and discrete phenomenon, then launches into an activity reminiscent of Zeno's paradox. A separate video...

Test probability concepts with an activity that asks pupils to first complete a task investigating false positive in medical testing and then to evaluate sample responses to the same task.

Learners practice graphing compound inequalities. They draw a Venn Diagram on two different sports visualizing that their is a middle section on commonality among the two sports groups and then relate that concept to compound inequalities.

Young scholars apply knowledge of soil, environmental impacts, economics, multiple human demands, and use given data for a proposed scenario in making land use decisions. They debate land use issues and/or scenarios and discuss a case...

Study geometry through the concept of quilt design. High schoolers examine the geometric shapes in various quilts and then create their own quilts using geometric shapes that fit together. In the end, they write a paragraph to...

Students examine the local and national election process. In groups, they brainstorm a list of the issues important to them and compare them to an overall list of issues present in the election. They analyze graphs and complete...

Students read and write poems for two voices about the Civil Rights Movement.
