Making connections between multiple methods of solving problems is an important part of understanding conditional probability. The lesson shows solutions to problems using Venn diagrams, tree diagrams, formulas, and...

Round and round we go. Learners first complete a task on writing equations of circles. They then take part in a collaborative activity categorizing a set of equations for circles based on the radius and center.

Scholars research arm span to determine who gives the best bear hugs. They use data from a national study to find the standard statistics for arm span. It includes mean, median, quartiles, spread, standard deviation, and more.

How confident are you? Explore the meaning of a confidence interval using class collected data. Learners analyze data and follow the steps to determine a 95 percent confidence interval. They then interpret the meaning of the confidence...

Inquiry-based learning and investigations form the basis of a deep understanding of quadratic functions in a very thorough unit plan.  Learners develop recursive and closed methods for representing real-life situations,...

What kind of functions have holes in their graphs? Here, the teacher guides the class on how to use the simplified function of a rational function to aid in the graphing of the original rational function. T-tables are used in order...

A 13-page test contains two 40-minute sections, which provide word problems and applied analysis to cover material from pre-algebra through geometry.

What does it mean to be normal in the world of statistics? Pupils first explore the meaning of a normal distribution in the eight-lesson module. They then apply the statistics related to normal distributions such as mean, standard...

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...

Bring the concept of conditional probability alive by allowing your classes to explore different probability scenarios. Many tasks have multiple solutions that encourage students to continue exploring their problems even after a solution...

Lean a ladder against the wall to create an angle. Class members use an interactive application to determine the angle a ladder makes with the ground. Individuals respond to five questions using inverse trigonometric functions.

Height is dependent on weight—or is it the other way around? Given data from a physicians handbook, individuals compare the height and weight of males and females at different areas. They calculate differences and ratios to assist with...

You class will read Cucumber Soup by Vickie Leigh Krudwig as an anticipatory set for this lesson on ratios. They make models of the insects in the story and then use them as a source of data for this ratio and proportion lesson. This...

In this Math worksheet, 7th graders attempt to balance books on the edge of a table. Students pile books on top of each other to extend over the edge by more than half a book length.

Students explore the concept of interpreting data. In this interpreting data lesson, students make a line plot of themselves according to the number of cubes they can hold in their hand. Students create their own data to graph and...

Seventh graders investigate a series of triangles, looking for patterns and generalizing what they have found. They analyze the pattern data and organize it into a table and graph. Students identify the relationship and discover the rule...

Learners complete addition and multiplication tables that include rational and irrational numbers. They also answer a series of questions about the sums and products of irrational and rational numbers. One suggested modification would be...

Second graders determine the difference between making a prediction and determining actual information. They design a spreadsheet for a coin flipping activity on which they include their predictions and what actual happens when they flip...

Graph it! Investigate transformations with a graphing calculator. Pupils graph sets of linear functions on the same set of axes. They determine how changes in the equation of a linear function result in changes in the graph.

Looking to support your young mathematicians with mastering their multiplication facts? Then this set of multiplication charts is a great place to start, allowing children to visualize the the relationships between factors and multiples.

A six-day unit for algebra II on exponential and logarithmic functions builds upon Chapter 12 of Merrill Algebra II with Trigonometry; Applications and Connections. The text provides assistance in the depth of instruction...

Linear or exponential, see if your class can tell the difference. This very basic worksheet looks at different representations including tables of values, graphing, and an equation to assess understanding. This would make a good warm-up...

Your movie fans will be interested in this resource. They will compare video streaming plans. One plan charges a set rate per month and a reduced viewing fee, and the other has a flat rate per each video viewed. Unfortunately, students...

Fourth graders, after listing the nine planets and their differences, choose one planet as their favorite. From the information acquired on each students favorite planet, they make a graph illustrating their favorites and then transform...
