Graphit
No graphing calculator? No worries, there's an app for that! Young mathematicians use an app to graph functions. In addition, they can also plot data points.
Curated OER
Finding Equations
Learners make equations from everyday data. They create a graph from the equations. Students predict and analyze the results. Learners complete the second scenario on their own and turn in their handout.

Teen Pregnancy: Investigating Cubic Functions
For this teen pregnancy worksheet, students use a scatter plot and cubic functions to solve word problems about teen pregnancy. Students complete 7 problems.
Curated OER
How Much Is Too Much?
Students examine population growth and collect data. In this statistics lesson, students create a scatter plot to represent the different species found in the water and are being harvested. They graph their data and draw conclusion from it.
Curated OER
Bias in Statistics
Students work to develop surveys and collect data. They display the data using circle graphs, histograms, box and whisker plots, and scatter plots. Students use multimedia tools to develop a visual presentation to display their data.

Float the Boat
Students collect data and analyze it using a graph. In this algebra activity, students identify different bodies of water and relate the flowing to math. They collect data on the rate of flow and the height of flow. They analyze the data...
Curated OER
Discovering Pi
Students develop a formula that describes the functional relationship of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Working with a partner, they measure the diameter and circumference of circular objects in order to discover the...
Curated OER
Shake It Up with Scatterplots
Students identify how to use a scatterplot to compare two sets of data to determine if they are related. Then they identify and describe the definition of regression line (the "line of best fit"). Students also identify how scientists...
