Students analyze variances of various data samples.

Students learn to organize data, look for patterns, and solve problems. They will count the number of "coins" in a variation of The Twelve Days of Christmas song. They will also generalize the patterns through symbolic expressions.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson builds upon the familiar d=rt formula for distance to include elements of acceleration as well. The lesson is framed in the context of traffic flow theory, but makes some very...

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson introduces students to the not-so-well known Benford's Law, which helps identify random number sets that may have been fabricated. Students learn about Benford's Law by exploring...

Egg drop competition is a popular activity to reinforce the lessons in force and motion. In the activity, the students are asked to design a vehicle to carry the egg safely when dropped from a height of 10 feet (about 3 m) or more....

Students will transform the cosine function so that it fits, approximately, data on the average daily temperatures for a city.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson has students find the probability of chips falling into each bin of a Galton Board (also known as a quincunx or Plinko board), and then graphing these data to form a normal curve....

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' will use a motion detector to plot the position versus time graph for a swinging pendulum. They will determine the period of the motion and model the position data using a cosine function.

In this activity, students investigate patterns that show relationships between powers and roots. They learn to identify strategies to be used to find important patterns in data.

Students learn to use the calculator to collect a set of data in order to identify patterns that illustrate important rational number concepts: the relationship between rational numbers and division, and equivalent fraction and decimal...

This tutorial shows you how to adjust the viewing window (using WINDOW key) to see your graphs and data.

In this activity students can use data collected on Hurricanes Katrina and Rita to study functions, predictions, and probability models. Students will track the two hurricanes to see how the paths of the hurricanes affected the Gulf...

Students can use the data to explore the relationship between area and perimeter for rectangles and circles and they will make generalizations about the shape of the rectangle that will produce the smallest perimeter.

Learn how to graph dependent and independent variables. Use the SciTools application to display data on your calculator.

Students will create a scatter plot of the number of Internet subscribers during 2004 through 2008 using the USA TODAY Snapshot "Internet phone subscribers soar." This activity will allow students to explore real-life data that will be...

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this two-part lesson begins by having students try to find the line of best fit for a given set of data (strike outs vs. home runs). The second part of the lesson shows how least squares...

The USA TODAY Snapshot allows students to use scientific notation with real-life data. Students will work with large numbers when determining the height of a stack of $20 bills. Unit conversion will be used from one unit of measure to...

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson has students explore Hamming Codes, an error correction technique used on slightly unreadable or damaged compact discs. Students see how the Hamming Codes allow a CD player to...

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson shows students how apparently random data is not always quite so random. This is done with a standard deck of 52 cards, which students analyze after dealing for randomness. In...

Students can use lists of data and the correlation factor of various regressions to determine the best regression line.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson has students create data points from given information, plot those points, and then create a line of best fit. This is done in the context of playing blackjack, although the...

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this activity introduces students to the concept of Markov Chains, and shows students how to find the probability of something (dependent) happening in the future, given certain conditions...

This is a quick class opener. That allow students to practice reading scatter plots and determining the correlation among data points.
