Students record data, make observations, and share in experimentation and discussion of numerical experiments.

Students explore the concept of transformations.  For this transformation lesson, students use an applet that is an interactive absolute value graph applet.  Students manipulate the applet to examine the change in the function...

Students discover patterns in linear equations by playing a dice game to collect data. They graph the data and analyze the patterns of the lines created by the data. The class then compares the individual graphs to evaluate the position...

Young scholars use regression methods available through technology to select the most appropriate model to describe collected data and use the model to interpret information. They use numeric techniques to write the equation of a line...

Students increase understanding of the drug issue and further develop skill in graphing.

Eighth graders determine food that they would need to survive in the wild. They graph the best foods for their environments and rate the survivability rate for each member of their group.

Learners make predictions using given data, writing a linear equation from given data, and using a linear equation to predict later behavior.

Students recognize relationships between mathematics and music by identifying the frequency and volume of a pure tone. Students discover that sound can be represented as a function and collect pure tones to generate smooth curves.

Seventh graders participate in several learning/research stations in which they view artwork from various countries of the Eastern world and collect information on the populations of the Eastern countries. They then use this information...

Young scholars investigate the concept of using different types of presentations to help solve mathematical problems. They research the use of illustrations to help understand data and its interpretation in a graphing format. Students...

Students examine a recent flight of Pathfinder. In groups, they use the information to create a table of values showing the battery charge of the space machine. They predict what the charge would be further on in the mission. They use...

Students predict, then measure how far a bug can travel on a "course" over a specified amount of time, then construct graphs based on the data they acquire.

Students identify the parts of an engine using a graph. In this statistics lesson, students make a graph from their collected data. They calculate the volume of a cylinder using a line of regression and a scatter plot.

Students review how to solve problems using the Distributive Property of Mathematics. They solve problems using the paper and pencil method and then use the graphing calculator to discover the property over addition while making a visual...

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...

Students explore the concept of linear regression. In this linear regression lesson plan, students do a Barbie bungee activity where they collect linear data. Students plot their data using a scatter plot. Students determine a line of...

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...

Students participate in various activities, measuring their pulse rates and recording the data. They analyze the statistical concepts of mean, median, mode, and histograms using the data from the cardiovascular activities.

Students plant seeds and watch them sprout. Once growing plants are placed in different conditions and students record data about their growth. They graph the data.

Students explore data collection through the use of tally marks. After a demonstration of the use of tally marks students complete various inquires where they create a chart documenting the number of times a desired result happens. They...

Young scholars explore nutritional information for several fast food hamburgers using statistical applications. In this statistics lesson, students analyze calories, fat, and sodium content of various fast food restaurants. Young...

Learners engage in a lesson about finding the values of different graphs written in the vertex form. They rewrite each quadratic equation in vertex form while graphing the equation with the visual display of a parabola that matches the...

Show how exponential growth can look linear. Pupils come to understand the importance of looking at the entire picture as they compare the US population to the world population. Initially, the populations look linear with the same rate...

Many things in life take the shape of a polynomial curve. Learners design a polynomial function to model a riverbed. Using different strategies, they find the flow rate through the river.
