A Computer Model For a Recycling Center

Linear equations can model many different situations. The lesson consists of an assessment question that asks scholars to write an equation to model the cost of computer repairs. The question provides the flat rate cost and the amount...

Determine if your classes understand how to model a linear function with a graph. An application question provides a scenario, and a linear equation and asks scholars to create the graph. It could be treated as a discrete or continuous...

Small groups research one of six recycling topics and collect data to develop a model. They then use the model to make predictions and draw inferences about the recycling trends of their materials and present their findings to the class. 

Don't throw out this resource ... recycle it! Learners investigate recycling of containers using single stream processes, and then the class discusses the advantages and disadvantages of recycling.

Statistics come front and center in this unit all about analyzing discrete data. Real-world situations yield data sets that the class then uses to tease out connections and conclusions. Beginning with the basic histogram and...

How long did it take to get to that altitude? Using a Google Earth file, groups explore a space shuttle launch. Using a calculator, groups determine the function that models the altitude/time data from an actual launch. With the model in...

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...

Learners develop a working model computer program of a recycling center which can be used to make decisions about a school recycling program.

Help young researchers find credible sources online. Modeling with a Google search for information about Shakespeare’s Macbeth, use a computer projector or Smart Board to show class members how weak the top three search results are....

Young scholars disassemble and rebuild computers. For this computer hardware lesson, students learn to refurbish computers, then donate the rebuilt computers in their community.
