Geogebra: Residuals and Linear Regression
If the line fits, use it. Using a Geogebra interactive, pupils plot points and try to find the best fit line. They assess the linear fit by analyzing residuals. A radio button allows participants to show the regression line and the...
Curated OER
Play It
There are a number of activities here that look at representing data in different ways. One activity, has young data analysts conduct a class survey regarding a new radio station, summarize a data set, and use central tendencies to...
Curated OER
Two for One Box Company
Students draw a net (a two-dimensional pattern that can be formed to make a solid) for making an open top box on grid paper. They cut out the net and fold up each side to form the open box and tape the sides, then find the volume of the...
Curated OER
Problem Solving: Use a Bar Graph
In this using a bar graph to solve a word problem worksheet, students refer to the U.S. Radio Station Formats bar graph to write the steps needed to solve and explain how the bar graph helped solve the problem. Students write four short...
Curated OER
Topos, Compasses, and Triangles, Oh My!
Young scholars triangulate using a compass, topographical (topo) map and a view of outside landmarks. They take a field trip to another location away from school and mark discernible landmarks (like mountains or radio towers) and changes...
Curated OER
Understanding Radios
Fifth graders explore ratios. Using models and real-world scenarios, they complete tables and generate comparisons. Pupils demonstrate multiple ways of writing ratios and describe the differences between ratios.
Curated OER
Black Holes....II
In this black hole worksheet, students use the equation for time dilation to solve 8 problems including determining the time it takes to receive a GPS signal from space, the time delay for the GPS-Earth system, the distance a radio...
Curated OER
Raising the Bar While Hogging the Ham (Radio That Is)
Students create a bar graph that communicates an amount without the need to know the exact data, determine what scale to use to best represent the data and use their bar graph to persuade others.
Curated OER
Kids Are Consumers Too
Students investigate a chosen product. They use television, radio, print, and internet sources to investigate how the product is advertised. Students create a market research survey to determine which brand is preferred by their peers...
Curated OER
Introduction to Objects
Students are introduced to the concept of Objects in Programming and identifying the parts of an object. They view the radio objects movie and then brainstorm household objects that can be represented as a series of controls and displays.
Illustrative Mathematics
Global Positioning System II
Intricate details of a modern technology that many of us take for granted in our phones, computers (and some cars) are laid bare in a short but deeply investigative activity. The math behind a seemingly simple GPS device is...
