Informally Fitting a Line
Discover how trend lines can be useful in understanding relationships between variables with a lesson that covers how to informally fit a trend line to model a relationship given in a scatter plot. Scholars use the trend line to make...
American Statistical Association
You and Michael
Investigate the relationship between height and arm span. Young statisticians measure the heights and arm spans of each class member and create a scatter plot using the data. They draw a line of best fit and use its slope to explain the...

Constructing Parallel Lines
Students construct parallel lines using a protractor and a straightedge. In this geometry lesson, students identify the properties of parallel lines. They use Cabri to graph and observe the lines.
Curated OER
Parabolas
High schoolers investigate parabolas and their equations. In this parabolas and their equations lesson, students graph quadratic equations on their graphing calculator. High schoolers find the axis of symmetry of a parabola. Students...

Shortest Distance Between Points and Lines
Learners use technology to determine the shortest between two points in a plane. They are required to support their analytic explanations with visual illustrations.
Mathematics Vision Project
Circles: A Geometric Perspective
Circles are the foundation of many geometric concepts and extensions - a point that is thoroughly driven home in this extensive unit. Fundamental properties of circles are investigated (including sector area, angle measure, and...
Illustrative Mathematics
Half of a Recipe
Kids love to cook! What is a better place to learn mixed numbers than with a recipe? It is up to learners to decide how they want to divide this recipe in half. They may choose to model the mixed number and then divide the model by two....
Curated OER
Mathematics of Doodles
Students use the slope and y-intercept to graph lines. For this algebra lesson, students graph linear equations and apply it to solving real life problems.
Curated OER
Super-Ball Physics
Students experiment with varied balls to determine the bounce factor in centimeters. In this physics lesson, students experiment to find the height a ball must be dropped from the have the highest bounce rate. Students graph the results...
Curated OER
Walking the Plank
Eighth graders experiment with a bathroom scale, books and a plank to determine how weight readings change as distance is applied. They graph and interpret the results.

What's The Point?
Students solve word problems using the correct math symbols. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI calculator to graph their equation and analyze it. They find the line of regression and use to draw conclusion.
Curated OER
Building a Rover
Students investigate properties of lines and points by making a rover. For this algebra lesson, students plot points correctly on a coordinate plane. They identify coordinate pairs given the plots and lines.

Describing the Motion of a Battery Powered Cars
Middle schoolers explore distance a toy car travels by changing the amount of batteries used to power the toy car. In this force and motion lesson, students calculate the average speed of a car while investigating the power from various...
Curated OER
Calculating Speed
Fourth graders complete an experiment on calculating speed. In this speed calculation lesson students complete an activity in which they have dominoes fall as slow as possible.
Curated OER
Dude, Who Hit My Car?
Students discuss how investigators solve a hit and run accident. In this physical science lesson, students recreate an accident scene using CEENBot. They collect data from the experiment and formulate conclusion.
