Investigate exponential growth and decay. A set of six activities has pupils collecting and researching data in a variety of situations involving exponential relationships. They model these situations with exponential functions and solve...

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but these sticks will make me smarter. Pupils examine arrays of sticks to determine the next array in a pattern. They use the number of sticks added to each previous array to determine a recursive...

Get a line on the snakes. The assessment task requires the class to determine the species of unknown snakes based upon collected data. Individuals analyze two scatter plots and determine the most likely species for five...

Class members create a table of the number of chords that can be drawn given the number of points on a circle. Pupils analyze the data created, find a function to fit to it, and use the function to make further predictions.

Students, review the techniques and different types of data analysis as well as how they are expressed, identify why facts and data are needed in conclusion of a questionnaire. The concepts of qualitative and quantitative data are...

Twelfth graders research historical turning points, gather-data, and extrapolate possible alternate outcomes. They work individually to choose one historical event from Attachment D, Historical Turning Points. Students complete either...

Learners double check their data collections of Top 20 singles that they've been collecting for several days. Types of data is reviewed in detail and a variety of questions are asked for retention factors of mastery. They draw a tally...

In this social studies worksheet, students organize 50 country cards into groups. Students analyze a chart and group countries according to lowest, middle, and highest Infant Mortality Rate.

Explore graphical representation of a real-life data set and determine the exponential regression model for the data in your classroom. Students also compare the estimated value to the given value by determining the percent error.

Pupils find the difference between consecutive y-values on the calculator and write an equation that fits the data.  They continue finding the differences in consecutive y-values using lists on their calculator. Learners...

In this biology worksheet, students describe and name their organ system selected and its major functions. Then they create a diagram of their body system with the major parts and organs labeled. Students also write facts about their...

Young scholars track and record data on the Sun's position in the sky and on the output of a solar panel tracking the Sun. On a second day, students graph and analyze the data to identify relationships between (1) the time of day, (2)...

Eighth graders participate in two data collection activities that involve direct and inverse variation. In the pre-assessment, 8th graders categorize numerical, graphical, and verbal representations as linear or nonlinear and determine...

Students survey the class and graph the results. In this graphing and data collection lesson plan, students conduct a survey to see where their shirts were produced. Individuals use software to graph the results and create a written...

Fifth graders construct data graphs based upon sets of data. For this graphing lesson, 5th graders read the text If the World Were a Village and discuss how types of graphs accurately represent a large population. Students construct...

Young scholars solve word problems using mathematical symbols. In this algebra instructional activity, students collect data and analyze it. They analyze the data using a table or graph after plotting the data.

Learners identify the different uses of lenses. In this physics lesson, students compare lenses with different magnifications. They record data and discuss results in class.

Students, using 15 years of sunspot data, plot data on a classroom graph. They discuss why the pattern from their individual sheets did not and could not match the class graph.

In this calculus worksheet, students sketch graphs of given exponential functions. They compute the principal needed to have a given ending balance when the interest is compounded at varying times. Students use a simple exponential model...

Connect math with science! Pupils apply properties of Ohms Law as they solve problems and identify the inverse relationship of a function. They analyze the shape of the graph of an inverse function and use it to make predictions.

Fifth graders discover that Anza and Washington lived at the same time but on opposite sides of the American Continent. They identify differences and similarities in their lives. They present the data in an illustrated time line

Students play game to practice numerical skills.

Represent ratios using a variety of methods. Classmates combine the representations of ratios previously learned with the coordinate plane. Using ratio tables, equations, double number lines, and ordered pairs to represent...

Seventh graders discuss continuity and change, identify various plant materials, and compare and contrast ways in which early people used plants in Texas in prehistoric times with ways that modern man in Texas uses plants today.
