Will more deer result in more big game licenses? Scholars first research data on the number of deer and the number of big game licenses in Virginia between 1990 to 2009. They apply polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic regression to...

Not all functions are created equal. Pupils apply regression analysis using polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic functions to investigate the relationship between variables and to decide which function would be best to model the...

Students perform an experiment to find the linear relationship between the appllied weight and the bend of the cantilever. In this linear relationships lesson plan, students follow detailed directions to set up an experiment. They add...

Fifth graders engage in the solving of a real life application problem using the concept of calculating perimeter. They apply the operations of calculating with the polynomials for finding the perimeter of triangles,quadrilaterals, and...

Math modeling to help endangered species? Scholars first investigate linear and exponential equations and graphs that model fictitious animal populations. They consider how key features of the graphs relate to the situation. As a final...

Students study the binomial system of naming organisms. They are given a name of an organism and they must draw a picture of what they think the organism looks like. Then they research the organism, find what it really looks like, and...

High schoolers explore the concept of the binomial system of nomenclature for classifying organisms. Students travel on a field trip to observe organisms displayed and their common names. High schoolers complete several classroom...

Students investigate track and field dimensions, measure an actual track, and construct a scale model. The use of a meter stick, dimensional analysis, and the application of the distributive property to variables forms the main focus of...
