Put those numbers to work by completing a statistical study! Pupils finish the last two steps in a statistical study by summarizing data with displays and numerical summaries. Individuals use the summaries to answer the statistical...

You say that perpendicular bisectors intersect at a point? I concur! Learners investigate points of concurrencies, specifically, circumcenters and incenters, by constructing perpendicular and angle bisectors of various triangles.

Based upon the statistics, this is what it means. The last instructional activity in a series of 22 has pupils present the findings from their statistical projects. The scholars discuss the four-step process used to complete the project...

Discover an important property of linear functions. Learners use the slope formula to calculate the rates of change of linear functions. They find that linear functions have constant rates of change and use this property to determine if...

Introducing exponential equations means learners need to take all the rules and tricks they learned for exponents and actually apply them. This presentation comes to the rescue by touching on changing bases in exponential...

Students explore how mathematical data is used to summarize and illustrate everyday life. They apply mathematical concepts and skills to analyze data. Students conduct a five question survey of 50 people or more and graph the data.

Maintain a positive atmosphere in your math class with this fun lesson plan on adding and subtracting integers. After first explaining the rules for combining positive and negative numbers, this resource uses a comic strip...

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...

Is there another way to view whether the data is linear or not? Class members work alone and in pairs to create scatter plots in order to determine whether there is a linear pattern or not. The exit ticket provides a quick way to...

Herbivores and carnivores just don't get along. Using a box of animal crackers, classes collect data about the injury status of herbivores and carnivores in the box. They complete the process of chi-square testing on the data from...

In this worksheet, learners identify the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra. They solve polynomial functions and simplify expressions and equations. 

Population density, it is not all that it is plotted to be. Pupils analyze a scatter plot of population versus area for some of the states in the US. The class members respond to eight questions about the graph, specific points and...

In this ratio activity, students investigate the relationship between the ratio of two sides of similar triangles. Afterwards, they convert fractions, decimals, and percents. This three-page activity contains approximately 35...

Increase your sample and increase your accuracy! Scholars complete an activity that compares sample size to variability in results. Learners realize that the greater the sample size, the smaller the range in the distribution of sample...

Alegebra amateurs identify the slope and the y-intercept given a linear equation in slope-intercept form by correctly completing some in class problems. They write the linear equation in slope-intercept form that corresponds to the given...

Which dot am I? Pupils create dot plots to represent sample data through the use of frequency tables. The third segment in a series of 22 asks individuals to analyze the dot plots they created. The scholars translate back and...

Students calculate the volume of solids. In this calculus lesson, students apply the Disk and Washer Method to solve for the volume of three dimensional objects. They calculate the volume caused by rotation that create...

An informative module highlights eight polynomial concepts. Learners work with polynomial functions, expressions, and equations through graphing, simplifying, and solving. 

Students listen for specific information during summary presentations. They practice giving feedback on given topic according to a set of standards. The speaker reports to the rest of class from a report and listeners determine if...

Pupils collect data using email. They calculate the mean, median, mode, range and outliers. They create a graph using the data results. They write five paragraphs to summarize their data.

Students are introduced to an Underground Weather Stations. In groups, they use the internet to research the weather in different parts of the United States locating each city. To end the lesson, they summarize the information they...

Students practice graphing compound inequalities. They draw a Venn Diagram on two different sports visualizing that their is a middle section on commonality among the two sports groups and then relate that concept to compound inequalities.

Sixth graders discuss how people, society, and technology change over time through a unit of integrated lessons. In these changes in society lessons, 6th graders discuss the answers to many questions about how changes effect the...

Statisticians take things to new heights using a set of height measurements. Students use TI-82 or TI-83 calculators to determine extreme values and the median for the data. They also construct a box-and-whisker plot to summarize the...
