In this penny toss worksheet, students collect statistical data by tossing pennies and then create a scatter plot of the data. They use formulas for exponential growth and decay and then plot the function. This two-page document...

In this exponential learning exercise, students gather information from an experiment and plot the data in a scatter plot. Using given formulas, they plot an equation of a line and then compare the graphs. Students observe exponential...

Students investigate different correlations. In this algebra lesson, students analyze graphs and identify the lines as having positive, negative or no correlation. They calculate the line of best fit using a scatter plot.

Young scholars work to develop surveys and collect data. They display the data using circle graphs, histograms, box and whisker plots, and scatter plots. Students use multimedia tools to develop a visual presentation to display their data.

Work it out — find the average time clients spend at a gym. Pupils use a table of random digits to collect a sample of times fitness buffs are working out. The scholars use their random sample to calculate an estimate of the mean of the...

Students collect and organize data, make a scatterplot, fit a curve to the appropriate parent function, and interpret the results. Students translate among the various representations of the quadratic function, formulate equations, use a...

How can you safely model exponential growth and decay? A hands-on activity uses candies to model not only exponential decay, but also exponential growth. Exponential equations are fitted by hand and by use of a calculator...

How does chemistry help deep-sea explorers? Part four of a five-part series of lessons from aboard the Okeanos Explorer introduces middle school scientists to technologies used in ocean exploration. Groups work together to analyze data...

In this statistics worksheet, learners explore five activities that require analysis and interpretation of maps, charts, and scatter plots.  The six page lesson includes five activities or experiments with short answer...

Students collect data and analyze it using a graph. In this algebra lesson, students identify different bodies of water and relate the flowing to math. They collect data on the rate of flow and the height of flow. They analyze the data...

Young scholars collect, graph and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, students use circle, pie, bar and lines to represent data. They analyze the data and make predictions bases on the scatter plots created.

Students read real world problems, determine the variables, and set up the function using algebraic statements. After entering data into the graphing calculator, they display information in the form of graphs and scatter plots. ...

Third graders predict how many times they'll see the word "the" in a newspaper page and highlight all the "the"s they find. After reviewing definitions of range, median, mode, mean they create a Stem and Leaf Plot and a Back-to-Back Stem...

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

High schoolers investigate different types of correlation in this statistics lesson. They identify positive, negative and no correlation as it relates to their data. They then find the line of best fit for the plotted data.

Pupils investigate linear, quadratic, and exponential regressions. They plot sets of data points, determine the regression equation that best fits the data and lastly investigate the coefficient of determination.

Learn how to identify the diameter and circumference of a circle. Then, collect data on a circle and relate it to the diameter and circumference of a circle. Last, plot data and find the line of best fit.

Is there a correlation between the number of coffee shops and the amount of crime in a given area? In this quick exercise, your class will examine the data, interpret the results, and discuss their conclusion. Concepts covered include...

Tenth graders investigate the circumference and diameter of a circle. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders relate circumference to diameter. They create a scatter plot to estimate the value of pi.

Young scholars analyze data and identify the mean. In this probability lesson, students log data in the TI and construct scatter plots from the data. They identify properties of a scatterplot.

Scholars research arm span to determine who gives the best bear hugs. They use data from a national study to find the standard statistics for arm span. It includes mean, median, quartiles, spread, standard deviation, and more.

When it comes to rating educational calculators, this calculator is always near the top of this list. Now it's available as an app. There is a lot of calculator power wrapped up in this app. Not only is this a fully functioning...

We landed on the moon with less computing capabilities than you can find in this app! Here is a multiple function calculator that takes all the power you get from a handheld and adds the wonderful large screen that only a tablet can...

Students make a box and whiskers plot using the TI-73 graphing calculator. Each student would have their own calculator but they would work in small groups of two or three to help each other enter the data and make the plots.
