Reaction rates vary between your dominant and nondominant hand ... or do they? Young scholars conduct an experiment collecting data to answer just that. After collecting data, they calculate the p-value to determine if the difference is...

Your learners combine their knowledge of real and imaginary numbers and matrices in an activity containing thirty lessons, two assessments (mid-module and end module), and their corresponding rubrics. Centered on complex numbers and...

Here is a straightforward example of how to apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find an unknown side-length of a trapezoid. Commentary gives additional information on proving that the inside of the trapezoid is a rectangle, but is...

Drop balls through a triangular grid of pegs and see them accumulate in containers. Switch to a histogram view and compare the distribution of balls to an ideal binomial distribution. Adjust the binomial probability and develop your...

Play Plinko and develop your knowledge of statistics. Drops balls through a triangular grid of pegs and see the balls random walk through the lattice. Watch the histogram of final positions build up and approach the binomial distribution.

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....

Learners model formulas for rectangles and squares. In this area, arithmetic and algebra lesson, students explore the formula for the area of squares and rectangles. They use squares to model the formula for the area and identify...

New skills are developed as students use graphing calculators and ranger technology to capture and graph the sequence of bounces a ball makes when dropped. After recording the height of four or more bounces, they use the collected data...

Explore the concept of this perfect square trinomial and difference of squares lesson. A hands-on activity that uses paper rectangles and squares to illustrate the perfect-square trinomial and difference of squares formulas.
