High School Mathematics Problems from Alaska: Predicting Plant Coverage

Run a simulated airplane manufacturing plant with your pupils as the builders! Learners build Lego airplane models and collect data on the rate of production, comparing the number produced to the number defective. Using linear...

Middle schoolers calculate gear ratio as they solve word problems. They discuss and find slopes as they relate to real life. Additionally, they hey use ratio and proportion to make predictions and solve problems.

Graph growth in the US. Given population and area data for the United States for a period of 200 years, class members create graphs to interpret the growth over time. Graphs include population, area, population density, and population...

For this scatter plot worksheet, students examine tables and write a linear equation that matches the table.  Students graph linear equations.  They read scatter plots, determine the trend line, and write a linear equation to match...

Using either data provided or data that has been collected, young mathematicians graph linear functions to best fit their scatterplot. They also analyze their data and make predicitons based on the data. This lesson is intended as a...

Get your classes up and moving and learning math at the same time! Learners collect data on the length of time it takes to complete a wave compared to the number of people participating. They then create a scatter plot, calculate a...

How long did you say? Class groups plot the distances between Earth and Mars and determine the trigonometric function that models the data. Using a calculator, they graph the function to determine when the distance and communication...

Students explore the concept of probabiility and outcome through several decision making activities. Making accurate predictions in daily life including weather forecasting, stock market selections, or job changes are all dependent on...

Students relate data to coordinate graphs and plot points on this graph. They use minimum wage data to construct the graph. Students decide appropriate time intervals for the graphs. They share graphs with their classmates.

Learners read complex charts, find measures of central tendency, calculate large numbers, create histograms and box plots. They answer questions using the "Fisherman's Copy" of statistics.
