Explore probability theory with interactive animation that simulates the rolling of dice, tossing of coins and generating random numbers. Evaluation options include bar graphs, table of trials data, settings for specifying the number of...

This is a pre-test for a statistics class. Since most systems want data driven analysis, this is a great way to get data at the beginning of the course on how much students know about statistics.

The data in the USA TODAY Snapshot "World Population in 2050" is in a relative frequency form. students can use the percents to calculate the population for each of the continents shown and then display this data as a bar graph.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson introduces students to exponential equations, their graphs, and their application in the real world. The lesson is framed in the context of the number of cell phone users for a...

Students collect sample data and use the calculator to create pictographs, bar graphs, and pie graphs to demonstrate the favorite brand in the sample data.

In this activity, students examine quantities that are linearly related and can be visually represented using a straight-line graph. Students collect distance versus time data using a motion detector and find a model for the...

In this activity, students' will use a motion detector to collect position data showing evenly-spaced jumps in value. They will then model this data using the greatest integer function.

A classic problem looking at maximizing the area of rectangles given fixed perimeters. Uses graphing calculators to analyze data collected and to model a parabolic equation. Compiling class data provides a preliminary glance at families...

In this activity, students collect both Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature data for several water samples of varying temperatures. They use the data to find a conversion equation that will calculate the Fahrenheit temperature for any...

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson, designed for upper-level high school students, has students linearize the data describing the force of a magnet at various distances. While it is assumed students already know...

Students use sample data to approximate models with the Transformation Graphing Application. They are introduced to the idea of discrete data sets being used with continuous function models. They also identify non-zero asymptote form of...

In this activity, students examine data about bacteria and their growth. They produce a scatter plot, a best-fit model, and draw conclusions based on the data and graph.

Mean, median, and mode are measures of central tendency in data analysis. Each can be used to identify central tendency. Box-and-whiskers plots are a visual representation of collected data involving medians.

In this activity, students' will use a voltage probe to collect voltage data from a discharging capacitor. They will model potential data using an exponential function.

In this activity, students' use a force sensor and a motion detector to collect force and acceleration data for an object moving up and down hanging from a spring. They use the data to test Newton's second law, and to estimate the mass...

In this activity, students use the CBL 2 to collect temperature data as a sensor warms up in a cup of water. They find an appropriate mathematical model for the resulting data set.

Students will collect world population data from the Internet, find a logistic model for the data, and use their model to predict future populations.

In this activity, students will analyze exponential growth data and then switch to a logarithmic scale. Includes both an exponential and a linear regression on the data, and asks students to make connections between two forms of...

The primary objective of this experiment is to determine the relationship between the pressure and volume of a confined gas. The gas we use will be air, and it will be confined in a syringe connected to a Pressure Sensor (see Figure 1)....

Thanksgiving Holiday activity for Algebra students. Linear data taken from the internet and used to create a linear model of the class data.Students will then discover the slope of the line is the speed of the car in miles per hour....

This set contains statistics questions regarding non-linear association: straightening data using logarithmic and power transformations. The student analyzes which type of regression will best model the data.

In this activity, students' will use a pH sensor to record pH versus time data as an antacid tablet neutralizes acid in lemon juice. They will model the pH data with a modified exponential function.

This activity uses the Transformation Graphing Application to explore the linear equation after entering data into lists and doing a statistical plot of the data.

In this activity, students' will record motion data for a walker and describe segments of the walker's motion using linear function. They will model the motion data using a piece-wise continuous function assembled from linear functions.
