Students perform an experiment that simulates a leaking pipe and gather data on volume of water lost over time. They graph the data collected as a scatter plot, find the equation of the line of best fit, find the total volume of water...

Using given nutritional information of popular items from McDonald's, the students will develop and test a conjecture based on the given information. The students will analyze the two-variable data using the graphics calculator by...

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson introduces students to lines of best fit and their applications. While the extensions delve into correlation, the main lesson focuses only on collecting data, creating a...

Students will create data displays using a scatter plot and a line graph of the data and a circle graph of survey data.

In this activity, students explore the total voltage provided by several batteries in a series to a battery-operated device. They graph scatter plots, understand multiplication as repeated addition, and use a pattern to develop a...

Students graph scatter plots and understand the concepts of correlation and least-squares regression. They also perform transformations to achieve linearity in the data plot.

In this lesson, students will participate in a group activity using a sponge ball and a growing human circle. The students will be added to a circle in groups of two and will pass the sponge ball from hand to hand until it returns to the...

In this activity, students examine patterns and use these patterns to try to predict different aspects of an event. They study the statistical patterns for the population of the state of Nevada over a period of hundred years, and predict...

In this activity, students collect the height versus time data of a bouncing ball using the CBR 2. They find the relationship between the bounce number and the bounce height. They learn to graph scatter plots, calculate the maximum value...

In this activity, students estimate the heights of people and compare the estimates to the actual heights in a scatter plot.

In this activity, students graph scatter plots to investigate possible relationships between two quantitative variables. They collect data and analyze several sets of data pairing the two quantities.

In this experiment, students collect the height versus time data of a bouncing ball using the CBR 2. This activity investigates the values of height, time, and the coefficient A in the quadratic equation, which describes the behavior of...

Using the USA TODAY Infograph, "More students apply early," students will explore scatter plots and independent and dependent variables. Students will determine a best-fit regression model for the real-life data set and then use the...

This set contains statistics questions regarding bivariate data: scatter plots, the least-squares regression line, and their interpretation. The student is asked about the meaning of the various strengths and directions of linear...

Students explore the use of several biomedical engineering sensor devices, and then use the collected data to create and analyze scatterplots of the different variables to determine if any relationships exist between the measured...

The mathematics resource assesses students on linear relations. The activity has problems with graphing and analyzing linear relations. Some of the topics included are variation, scatter plots and linear relationships. The worksheet has...

Three lessons on different types of data (qualitative, quantitative, univariate, bivariate, biased data) as well as a practice activity and teacher resource.

A collection of lesson ideas, a practice activity, and teacher resources for exploring regression analysis.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson has students create box-and-whisker plots for given data, and then determine which (if any) data points are outliers. Students determine outliers through two methods in this...

Investigate the relationship among humidity, air temperature, and the heat index while learning about modeling data, evaluating functions, and describing the end behavior of a function. Students will use graphing calculator technology to...

In this activity, students determine the pH of liquid samples. They get familiar with the pH scale, create graphs comparing pH levels, and compare data displayed as a scatter plot, a boxplot, a histogram, and a bar graph.

Use the TI-89 to find the area between curves, find arc length, and solve first and second order differential equations. Examples in the activity use calculator screenprints and keystroke instructions to demonstrate the use of the...

Students quantify the percent of light reflected from solutions containing varying concentrations of red dye using LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT bricks and light sensors. They begin by analyzing a set of standard solutions with known...

In this activity, students take distance readings as they walk in front of a CBR. They apply the properties of a linear function to develop a model for the motion and interpret the values used in the model. Students learn to graph...
