Fifth graders study wildfires in the United States.  In this wildfire lesson students read an article, make calculations and answer questions.

Students explain and learn the practical application of standard deviation. They compare cities in the U.S. and discover whether cities closer to the ocean have more consistent temperatures. Useful resources are given.

Students compare things that are greater than, less than, or equal to, compare the Earth to other planets, and list planets from greatest size to smallest size.

Students compile and analyze data pertaining to College Credit AP Exams. They pose questions - Which exam is the easiest? - determine answers from their data and display their results.

Eighth graders collect and analyze data about foul shots taken at basketball games.

Students use their county's information page to gather information about their community. Using the information, they create graphs from the tables provided and interpret the data. They write a paragraph showing their interpretation of...

Students define choropleth map. They construct a choropleth map. They interpret a choropleth map. They present geographic information.

Students use the weather as a context for collecting data and making interpretations based upon the observations. The scientific method is also taught to give them a way to conduct the data collection.

Students select appropriate tools and technology to perform tests, collect data, and display data. They construct appropriate graphs from data and develop qualitative statements about the relationships between variables.

Learners investigate properties of logarithmic function as they add, subtract and multiply logarithms. They graph and analyze the graph for exponential equivalency.

Learners gather and organize data using a mock census form, and determine mean, mode, range, and median for sets of data.

Little ones identify the US quarter and explore the concept of one-fourth or one-quarter. Using real coins or coin manipulatives, they divide a square piece of paper into quarters, discuss halves and quarters, and create a design that...

Students design models to simulate actual events using various random devices. They estimate the likelihood of a particular outcome using results of simulation. In addition, they simulate the births of three children to a using a coin.

Students design models to simulate actual events using a random number generator on a calculator. They estimate the likelihood of a particular outcome using results of simulations. Answer Key included.

Fifth graders explore the concepts of range, median, mode, and mean through the use of graphs drawn from models. They use manipulatives to represent data they have collected within their groups, and compare the differences between mode,...

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