High schoolers analyze data on debt and write an equation. In this statistics lesson, students are given data from different time periods, and are asked to graph and analyze the data. They work in groups, and are assigned different parts...

Through a variety of physical and theoretical situations, learners are led through the development of some of the deepest concepts in high school mathematics. Complex numbers, the fundamental theorem of algebra and rational exponents...

Collaborative learners will see the geometric addition of functions by graphing the sum of two graphed curves on the same coordinate plane. This task then naturally flows into giving learners the algebraic representation of the curves...

Investigate the Remainder Theorem in this algebra lesson. Explore the relationship between the remainders of polynomial division and the function. Each of the four problems gets progressively more complicated. This might be a great...

Paper folding, flu spreading in a school, bacteria growth, and continuously compounded interest all provide excellent models to study exponential functions. This is a comprehensive resource that looks at many different aspects of...

This comprehensive unit on linear and exponential functions provides numerous clearly-written worksheets. Topics include graphing linear equations, solving systems of equations algebraically and by graphing, identifying the domain and...

Space science stars journey through our night sky and take virtual photos of galaxies to investigate simple random samples. Higher math is used to analyze the data collected. Copy the evaluation/assessment questions onto a handout...

Discussion doesn't always need to be spoken. Before you begin The Tempest by William Shakespeare, have kids connect their ideas and experiences to central questions of the play with a silent discussion activity. Once they have...

Students create a scatter plot of their experimental data. In this algebra instructional activity, students use M&M's to determine an algebraic model. They discuss results in class.

Students use given data to compare baseball players. They create box and whisker plots to compare the players and determine which they feel is the best player. Students use calculators to make box and whisker plots. They write paragraphs...

Students calculate the equation of the line of best fit. In this statistics instructional activity, students create scatter plots and find the line of best fit going through their data. They make predictions and draw conclusions.

Students explore the concept of logarithms.  In this logarithms lesson plan, students graph logarithms on their Ti-Nspire calculator.  Students describe the shapes of their graphs by identifying slope, y-intercepts, and...

In this data analysis worksheet, learners complete 1 problem that has 7 parts involving mean, median, mode, range, and quartiles. Students then perform 5 operations with matrices.

Students define normal distribution as it relates to the bell curve. In this statistics lesson, students use the central tendencies of mean, median and mode to solve problems. They plot their data and draw conclusion from the graphs.

Learners identify the shape of a function. In this statistics lesson, students plot the data collected. They analyze their data for positive, negative or no correlation. They find the line of best fit.

Students plot and analyze NASA data to determine the period of an invisible planet orbiting a wobbling star. They explore the motion of a two-body system around a center of mass to better explain how extra-solar planets are discovered.

High schoolers plot complex numbers in the polar plane. They are asked to list what they believe are the five most famous numbers in mathematics. Students are explained that generally accepted that the five most famous numbers in...

Students draw line graphs. In this math lesson plan, students interpret minimum wage data and graph the data in a line graph. Students predict the next minimum wage and figure the earnings for a 40 hour work week for someone earning the...

Students explore transformations. In this math lesson, students plot points on a coordinate grid and construct shapes. Students discuss movements on the grid as flips, turns and slides.

Pupils explore the law of reflection. Through experimentation and problem solving, they collect and analyze data pertaining to reflection. The data is plotted on a graph and formulas for calculating the x and y values are evaluated.

Pupils engage in the practice of creating a scatter plot with the data obtained from measuring different resting heart rates. The data is used to create the table that is translated into a graph. The lesson gives instructions for the use...

Learners explore reflections on a coordinate plane in this lesson. They trace their hand on a grid, determine the coordinates of each point, and create a scatter plot of their points. Pupils use this information to investigate aspect...

Students gather data for the project for the entire year. They plot their data, try to fit a equation to their data, and speculate on why the data shows the pattern it does and project its future growth.

Students plot points on a coordinate plane. They describe, in words, methods for finding the slope of a line. After given a worksheet, students read instructions, draw a Cartesian plane, plot ordered pairs, and graph lines. Papers are...
