Young scholars explore the EasyData.  For this secondary mathematics lesson, students investigate the screens, menus, and  list of types of data collection available with the EasyData. 

Twelfth graders discuss sine curves and enter equations into their graphing calculator then compare different graphs created on their calculators. They identify the period, amplitude and phase shift given the graph or the equation of a...

Students design and build water balloon catchers from random scrap materials, while taking into consideration a multitude of variables including: cost, maintenance, total capacity, etc.

Students problem solve to calculate the number of times various listed objects could fit onto Tacoma Narrows Bridge. They create a scale drawing of the listed objects in comparison to the bridge.

The plot thickens to get a functional understanding. After a short review of plotting points on the coordinate plane, class members learn the difference between functions and relations in the second lesson plan in a series of nine....

Huygens spacecraft landed on Saturn's moon Titan in 2005, making it the farthest landing from Earth ever made by a spacecraft. In this hands-on activity, the 12th installment of 22, groups explore how density affects speed. To do this,...

Learners step up to the plate as they first complete an assessment task using linear equations to determine the best company from which to buy baseball jerseys. They then evaluate provided sample responses identifying strengths and...

Students map and describe small area of the schoolyard and discuss habitats.

Are we there yet?  Young trip planners learn about their state and plan a trip. They will select sites to see in three cities in their state, and record associated costs in a spreadsheet. While this was originally designed as a...

You don't have to be a scientist or even out of high school to contribute to scientific research. In the 12th activity in the series of 21, scholars use this opportunity to add to the growing body of scientific knowledge and consider the...

Ninth graders encounter various types of numerical information (represented in multiple ways), much of which is abstract and difficult to comprehend. In this lesson, 9th graders will convert given information into bar graphs. In the...

First graders create a class graph that illustrates how they get to school and interpret data from the graph. They complete an assessment worksheet independently and answer questions about the graph shown.

Students keep records and determine how much time they spend on certain activities. They insert the data into a spreadsheet. Students graphically display data in a bar graph and a circle graph.

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...

Students construct spreadsheets from raw data. In this spreadsheet construction lesson, students compile data into Microsoft Excel. Students familiarize themselves with entering and presenting data in a spreadsheet.

Students use the internet to gather a minimum of thirty pieces of data. Students create box and whisker graphs, and stem and leaf plots from the information. They calculate mean, median, mode, and range. Students write a summary and...

Students will compare the data for different locations that they select and investigate trends over the course of a number of years. This will give the students an opportunity to apply statistical measures (mean, median,mode) to data...

Eighth graders use data from surveys conducted with parents, peers and themselves to create computer-generated scatterplots. They make inferences from their scatterplots.

Students create a scatter plot of their experimental data. In this algebra instructional activity, students use M&M's to determine an algebraic model. They discuss results in class.

Fourth graders complete a taste test of different sandwiches, rate them, and then put them in a ratio graph. In this ratio lesson plan, 4th graders write what they learned about ratios after this activity.

Eleventh graders work in groups and investigate how force determines the speed and distance then they view the video, "Math Vantage #7: What's Your Angle?." They are given a real life problem to solve using speed, ramps, angle, incline...

First graders analyze nursery rhymes and gather data about word frequency. In this frequency lesson, 1st graders create graphs and tables. Students interpret the data.

Students examine linear equations. In this functions and algebra lesson, students write equations in the slope-intercept form. They enter data in a graphing calculator, examine tables, and write linear equations to match the data.
