Eighth graders extend their learning of graphing linear equations and are introduced to connecting patterns in tables and graphs to represent algebraic representations. They then determine patterns and extrapolate information from these...

Students practice representing problems found in the real world in terms that can be translated into mathematical expressions. The situations are represented in tables and graphs by students.

Young scholars develop a formula that describes the functional relationship of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Working with a partner, they measure the diameter and circumference of circular objects in order to discover...

Students compare different aspects of investing money from traditional savings accounts to money market accounts. They research investment accounts at local banks and compare them.

Students estimate the time needed by the Corps of Discovery to complete its expedition. They problem solve and estimate the distance covered by the Corps on its expedition. They compare their findings to the expedition's actual rates...

Students explore the effects of a declining fossil fuel system would have on the world. They read the line graph and other information to answer questions about fossil fuels. Students use mathematics to analyze graphical data and...

Students examine the importance of the census and census data collection methods. They gather statistical data, create graphs comparing state and national populations, and compose written reflections on why the census is necessary.

Learners investigate suicide using a variety of criteria and create a bar graph before discussing the results as a class.

Tenth graders estimate the size of an adult cheetah by research and measurement of a picture. They determine the approximate distance and speed of the cheetah from a filmed chase and compare that to their own running speed.

Students concentrate on discrete quantiative data. They are shown that the vertical line diagram as a more appropriate way to present discrete quantiative data then bar charts. Students work as a group to help with the interpretation...

Students are introduced to stem-and-leaf plots and calculating the mean, median, and mode from the plots.

Students define probability. They determine outcome from a given situation based on simple probability. Students create experimental data using a coin and a number cube. They write how theoretical and experimental probability are different.

Students investigate personal budgets and discuss how to make monetary decisions. They work in small groups to make money decisions for their classrooms or a playground, and present their decisions to the whole class.

Students use probability to determine how likely it is for each tree in a small forest to catch on fire.

Fourth graders play a game to determine the likelihoods of different outcomes when rolling two number cubes. Students play a game to determine the likelihoods of different outcomes when rolling two number cubes.

Students analyze the data from questionnaires to prepare a report. They distribute the report via e-mail or through a report published on a Web page to those who participated.

Third graders discuss prizes included in products to stimulate sales. They discuss a pretend pretzel company and it's sticker promotion. Students compute how many boxes of pretzels they will need to collect in order to be sure of having...

Learners calculate percent increases (or percent decreases) for the top 25 companies in terms of advertising dollars spent during a year.

Fifth graders use text or other references to locate different types of information about the Mayflower and pilgrims. They create a presentation for lower elementary classes about the Pilgrims.

Students list their favorite cars and create graphs of their favorites. Students determine how the graphs would change as their choices change.

Sixth graders conduct a survey and collect data to construct a bar graph that will then be changed into a circle graph. With the bar graph, 6th graders compare estimated fractions and percentages and estimate percentages. With the circle...

Fourth graders investigate the mathematical concept of probability. They determine the given mean of a data set found when rolling dice. The results of the experiment are displayed using a bar graph. The teacher does an example before...

Second graders analyze the likelihood of simple events.

Third graders get into groups of two. Next, give each student a piece of butcher paper that is long enough for them to trace their entire body. One person lies down while their partner traces the outline of their body. Upon completion,...
