There's absolutely no error in using the tutorial! Learners use spreadsheets to create column or bar graphs with error bars. They also learn how to calculate the standard error of the mean in the tutorial. This is the third installment...

How long do we have to wait? Given several days of times between eruptions of Old Faithful, learners create a graphical representation for two days. Groups combine their data to determine an appropriate wait time between eruptions.

Help learners determine the rate of change for the temperature of sand. They will collect data on the temperature of wet and dry sand over time with a heat lamp overhead. Then make a scatter plot of the data and find a linear model to...

Limits are made easy through graphs and tables. An easy-to-use interactive lets users change a function on a coordinate plane. They relate graphs and tables to the limit at a specific value.

Discontinuities in the graph? No worries. Pupils investigate the limit of a function given graphically using an interactive. The graph has removable and jump discontinuities.

A one-sided limit need not be half as interesting as a two-sided limit. Pupils learn the notation for one-sided limits and how to determine the value of a one-sided limit from graphs by watching a short video. They then see how to create...

Is it safe to take data at its face value? Pupils use the interactive to evaluate a claim that Virgos are more likely to get into a car crash than others. Individuals determine whether another variable may be at play.

How long does it take to pay off a loan? Pupils use a graph to model the sequence associated with paying off a loan. Using the graph, learners determine the initial value and the common difference of the arithmetic sequence. The learners...

There's nothing fishy about this resource. In the task, learners use given information about fish prices to create a scatter plot and line of best-fit. Later, they use the information to answer questions about the profit from fish sales.

Moving the graph of a function obviously changes its domain and range. Scholars adjust the location of a graph in an interactive coordinate plane. The interactive automatically updates and displays the domain and range to show how it...

Does the point continually move along the graph? Pupils drag a line across two functions to determine whether they are continuous or not. They answer questions about the properties of continuous and discontinuous functions. Using their...

Take a closer look at continuous functions within given intervals. Using the parent cubic function, learners explore properties of continuous functions on intervals. Pupils interpret the Intermediate Value Theorem and the Extreme Value...

Connect the dots on frequency. Given a distribution table of scores on an assessment, learners create a frequency polygon by moving points on a graph to the correct frequency. The pupils use the display to answer questions about the...

An eye-catching hook makes a smart analogy between ingredients for a food recipe and ingredients for quality relationships. Scholars discuss and list qualities they feel contribute to positive interactions. Pupils create a recipe card...

There's nothing normal about an extraordinary resource. Scholars change the dimensions of a normal distribution using a slider interactive. Determining the area under the graph gives probabilities for different situations.

Students brainstorm favorite things to do during the summer. They survey classmates to collect data, arrange it in a chart, and create graphs using ClarisWorks.

Pupils draw the graph of a door opening and closing over time. They graph a given function on their calculators, create a table of values and interpret the results by telling if the door is opening or closing and evaluate the average...

First graders identify a number that is one more or one less than a number up to one hundred and identify a mystery number. They also create a class graph that illustrates how many children are in each family, and answer questions about...

Students explore collecting, analyzing, and graphing information. They collect data on the various eye colors of their classmates. Students tally the results and create a graph.

Skill in using Excel and increasing proficiency in manipulating data are challenged with this data analysis work.  A web link supplies data and step-by-step instructions help learners create a graph.  There are many extension...

Students apply a data set to create a graph show how iron ore impacts an ecosystem. They explain how the iron effects the distribution and abundance of phytoplankton in coastal ecosystems using spreadsheet software.

Take a function along for a ride. Given the graph of a roller coaster track, pupils determine key features of the graph such as the maximum, minimum, intervals of increase and decrease, and roots. They figure out the equation of the...

Class members select a picture that contains a parabola and construct a drawing of it using function graphs in the quadratic project. Individuals restrict the domains of the functions to create a more accurate drawing. They then submit a...

Find relationships between the structure of a function and its graph. An engaging lesson explores seven parent functions and their graphs. Learners match functions to their graphs and describe transformations.
