Students determine if there is an associationm in a scatter plot of data. They analyze data through predictios, comparisons, and applications. Students calculate the line of best fit using a graphing calculator. They display data in...

Seventh graders are introduced to the concept of box-and-whisker plots. A step-by-step process for creating a box-and-whisker plot is provided. The goal of the lesson is that students study the components of a box-and-whisker plot and be...

Fifth graders create/use spreadsheets to solve real-world problems, explore patterns and make predictions, select/explain most appropriate types of graph to display data, and enter data into a prepared spreadsheet to perform calculations.

Students make stem and leaf charts to determine the measures of central tendency using test score data. They analyze the data to draw inferences which they share with the class. They complete the associated worksheets.

Students explore the concept of probability. In this probability lesson, students simulate a controlled forest burn using an applet. Students vary the probability of trees burning and predict what will happen.

Students explore the concept of line of best fit. In this line of best fit lesson, students find lines of best fit in examples about riding your bike home from school and dentistry. Students find two data points and find the line of best...

Young scholars run their own lemonade stand and are to figure out what to sell the lemonade at to gain the maximum profit.

Students study the origins of pecans and complete a bar graph from the data they have discovered. For this pecan lesson plan, students draw pecans, discuss a pecan time line, and draw a bar graph comparing Arizona pecans to other...

Students study the history of kites and their fundamental properties.  For this kites lesson students divide into teams and build and fly kites. 

Students measure the heights of their fellow classmates and create a box and whisker plot to display the data. In this measurement lesson plan, students analyze the data and record results.

Students multiply decimals and/or mixed numbers. They explore the effects of multiplying decimals and mixed numbers. They practice estimating answers when a number is multiplied by a decimal or mixed number.

Students design a PowerPoint presentation using six slides that include a title, a picture and five positive attributes about the student. They include the specified pictures and describe how they relate to themselves.

Students connect different mathematical concepts. They create a circle graph. Students then create a question in which they collect data in order to convert fractions to decimals and decimals to percents.

Young scholars collect data on a robot and relate the behavior to prove there is an infinite minute set of numbers. In this algebra lesson plan, students verify that there is always a number between two numbers. They analyze and...

Fifth graders examine and discuss the concept of chronological order. They research an assigned continent and construct a chronological timeline using a list of historic events.

Pupils examine and identify the characteristics of the biomes of the world. Using the Internet, they compare and contrast the similarities and differences and discover how living things are supported in the biomes. They discuss how the...

Seventh graders discuss the main purposes of media. Using various advertisements, they identify the method used by the advertisers in each example. They use these methods to create and sell their own product to the class. They use the...

Students describe the characteristics and behaviors of bats. After viewing a video, they explain how bats use echolocation to navigate and how they find their young within a group. They list four misconceptions about the animal and...

In this histogram learning exercise, students solve 6 multiple choice and short answer problems. Students read histograms and determine the frequency of a particular item.

Students investigate a possible health problem in the local school district through inquiry into attendance records, activities, maps, graphs, and data tables. The simulation continues as solutions for the problem are sought.

Adjust this lesson to fit either beginning or more advanced learners. Build a scatter plot, determine appropriate model (linear, quadratic, exponential), and then extend to evaluate the model with residuals. This problem uses real-world...

Students analyze graphs. In this algebra lesson, students find the line of best fit, using scatter plots. They calculate the sale of popcorn as it relates to the price. They then analyze the graphs for positive, negative and no correlation.

Students model projectile motion algebraically and graphically; and make predictions based on the quadratic algebraic model.
