Young scholars collect data on investments and draw conclusions. In this algebra instructional activity, students analyze exponential graphs as they relate to money. They discuss the cause of an account balance being high or low.

Students collect data and make predictions. In this probability lesson plan, students perform experiments calculating the chance of an event occurring. They draw conclusion based on their data.

What makes this resource special? The amazing answer key that comes with worked out solutions and notes for each problem. Practice problems include all topics ranging from linear systems to simplifying exponential expressions. The...

Students are able to calculate the population density of a country, and calculate the population density of large cities in that country. They are able to create an appropriate graph to represent their data for that country.

Seventh graders gather data to determine the relationships between the base and height of rectangles with fixed perimeters and express the relationships using words and symbols. Students build rectangles with pipe cleaners. They create...

Students convert degrees between two different units. In this algebra lesson, students graph linear equations and identify the line of best fit. They use their line of best fit to make predictions given a set of data.

Students engage in the use of technology to investigate the mathematical concepts of probability and graphing. They use the skills of predicting an outcome to come up with reasonable possibilities. Students also practice using a...

In this radiation and temperature activity, students use 2 methods to derive the Wein Displacement law that shows the relationship between the temperature of a body to the frequency where the Planck curve's value is at its maximum....

Students participate in a technology project. This lesson is a hands-on spreadsheet project where students are responsible for keeping track of their grades for class. The students learn to enter data into a spreadsheet, create...

In this periodic functions worksheet, students use given data of the speed of a star and find the best fit periodic function that follows the trend in data. They determine the amplitude, offset phase and the formula for the angle. They...

Students are able to use a secchi disk to measure the turbidity of water by determining the depth at which the sechi disk is no longer visible and using the data in a formula to quantify the results. They are able to use Vernier probes...

Students explore the various uses of the logistic function. Students use the internet to collect world population data and find a logistic model for their data and use their chosen model to predict future populations.

Eighth graders discover the relationship between speed, distance, and time. They calculate speed and represent their data graphically. They, in groups, design a ramp for their matchbox car. The goal is to see who's ramp produces the...

Students improve data entry in a spreadsheet.

Simulate a random sampling of data by tearing 20 sheets of paper into slips and place a number on 10 and a letter on 10. They place the slips in two separate containers and randomly draw a number and a letter. They record their...

Students study exponential decay and its application to radiocarbon dating. In this exponential decay lesson, students use candy to model the time it takes for something to decay. Students also graph the data they collect and...

Students identify patterns and compute formulas to solve the problems. In this algebra lesson, students come up with a rule given a pattern, and analyze the relationship between data and graphs.

Third graders review important vocabulary to explain measures of central tendency and reaction time. In pairs, they measure reaction time of dropping and catching a ruler. Data is collected after repeated catches and information is...

Students work together to design an experiment. They discover the origin of a family artifact. They analyze the data and discuss the results. They determine if the experiment is the best way to find out this type of information.

Students explore the basic geometric shapes and geometric shape vocabulary through the use of geoboards and virtual geoboards. They create a variety of shapes with a partner, build ten different rectangles on their geoboards, and...

High schoolers identify the data included in an energy audit. They perform an audit on the lighting in their school building. They complete a worksheet and discuss lighting issues with school staff.

Students calculate ppm and ppb by using unit analysis when given a ratio of amounts. They determine in ppm what constitutes a health risk for a particular toxin given data and whether local health officials should close a lake...

Studetns use a spreadsheet to organize data on the sides of a triangle. They use the Pythagorean Theorem and the If then spreadsheet function to decide whether the three sides determine a right triangle. Students work individual...

Second graders distinguish between and use nonstandard and standard units of measurement, use appropriate tools and techniques to measure length and width, and record and interpret data using graphs.
