Sixth graders interpret linear and nonlinear graphs. They create graphs based on a problem set. Next, they represent quantitive relationships on a graph and write a story related to graphing.

When going for distance, does it make a difference at what angle you launch the rocket? Teams of three launch foam rockets, varying the launch angle and determining how far they flew. After conducting the series of flights three times,...

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,...

Ready to introduce your class to the coordinate plane? This website includes a detailed lesson plan that includes two interactive games to help learners practice graphing ordered pairs. The scripted discussion is a little cheesy and a...

Use this series of activities to introduce learners to graphing functions. They graph both linear and quadratic equations by hand and with a Graph Sketcher Tool. Several imbedded links and handouts are included in the lesson.

It takes a lot of planning to achieve a random result! Learners compare results of random assignment, and conclude that random assignment allows results to be attributed to chance. They also realize the set of random means...

Challenge your classes to complete an experiment from beginning to end. Learners make their own hypotheses, collect and analyze their own data, and make their own conclusions. They are on their way to becoming statisticians! 

The power to solve exponential equations lies in the resource. Scholars first learn how to solve exponential equations. An activity matching cards with equations, intermediate steps, and solutions strengthens this skill.

Increase your sample and increase your accuracy! Scholars complete an activity that compares sample size to variability in results. Learners realize that the greater the sample size, the smaller the range in the distribution of sample...

Students investigate probability and the chance of an even happening. In this algebra lesson, students incorporate their knowledge of probability to solve problems and relate it to the real world. They learn to make decisions based on data.

Young scholars solve theoretical probability problems. In this algebra lesson, students apply the concept of probabilities to solving real life scenarios. They collect data and graph it using experimental probability.

Students calculate the mean, median, mode, range, and interquartile range for a set of data. They create a box and whisker plot using paper, pencil and technology.

Students investigate ratios and percents. In this algebra lesson, students explore the probability of an event occurring. They convert between ratios and percents as they solve the odds.

This helpful lesson plan explores the probability in tossing a coin and throwing dice. Specifically, it looks at the probability of getting numbers that are significant to the game of craps, assuming that once the math is understood,...

In the first installment of a 21-part module, scholars build on previous understandings of probability to develop the multiplication rule for independent and dependent events. They use the rule to solve contextual problems.

Middle and high schoolers collect and analyze their data. In this statistics lesson, pupils analyze graphs for linear regression as they discuss the relationship of the function to the number of rubber bands and the distance of the...

Students perform basic matrices operations. In this algebra lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide matrices. They solve system of equations using matrices.

Students explore the realm of mathematical probability while playing a game of chance. after constructing paper rockets, they fire it enough times to determine the probabilities of the rocket traveling past a marked distance and of it...

Students perform simulation of video games as they explore statistics. In this algebra lesson, students relate concepts of statistics and data collection to solve problems. They decide their next step based on the previous assessment of...

Students solve problems with complex numbers. In this algebra lesson, students factor complex numbers and simplify equations using DeMoivre's Theorem. They add, subtract, multiply and divide using negative roots.

Students determine that knowledge of an event's outcome can affect the probability of the unknown outcome of an event that has already occurred.

Students define and differentiate between experimental and theoretical probability. In this statistic lesson, students play the game "Monty Hall" and use probability to come up with the best strategies to play the game.

Students analyze, create, and record repeating patterns. In this geometry lesson, students create shapes using patterns and keep track of the different shapes. They incorporate transformation and reflections into their patterns.

Students make predictions based on survey results. They calcuate sample proportions. Students estimate the number of voters in their district preferring the democratic candidate using their sample results. They review sample proportions...
