Students examine the distribution of wealth in the US. For this economic distribution lesson, students use math skills to apply real statistics to the students in their classroom making these facts more of a reality.

Learners investigate poverty using graphs. In this algebra lesson, students collect data on the effects of poverty and use different rules to analyze the data. They graph and use the trapezoid rule to interpret the data.

Young scholars are given data and are to calculate averages and yearly totals of how many cars travel the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. They also make a graph of the data.

Students complete worksheets on equality in math and create their own. They further investigate equality in the world around them.

Ninth graders investigate the concept of probability. They use a clear objective that is a visual cue for what is required for the lesson. They apply the basic practices of probability to real life like situations.

Students recognize the number prefixes used throughout the English language. They identify the shapes and the prefixes that are associated with them.
