When working with data, it is important to know whether it is continuous or discrete, as this will determine what calculations can be applied and what information can be extracted from it. Here, students to distinguish between continuous...

The University of Illinois provides this site that is helpful because of the various kinds of data that can be collected. This lesson plan helps students differentiate between qualitative, quantitative, and many other types of data.

Explore continuous and discrete data and when to use one over the other.

Explore continuous and discrete data and determine when to use each one.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students will review the different types of graphs, and the differences between discrete and continuous data, and between qualitative and quantitative data. They...

This lesson demonstrates how a box-and-whisker plot can be used to represent data.

The basic definitions of continuous and discrete statistics variables are provided here.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Organize distributions of data by using a number of different methods.

The American Community Survey uses demographic data to enable the government and communities make important decisions.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Determine if a data set approximates a normal distribution.

In this activity, students' will record motion data for a walker and describe segments of the walker's motion using linear function. They will model the motion data using a piece-wise continuous function assembled from linear functions.

Students and teachers can explore the work of marine scientists and observe the ocean from their computers. Learn about Rutgers Coastal Ocean Observation Laboratory, discover why oceanography is important, and see what life is like in...

This lesson demonstrates how a box-and-whisker plot can be used to represent data. It is 1 of 3 in the series titled "Representing with Box-and-Whisker Plots."

The student will be able to identify and determine reasonable values for the domain and range from any given contextual situation.

Students use sample data to approximate models with the Transformation Graphing Application. They are introduced to the idea of discrete data sets being used with continuous function models. They also identify non-zero asymptote form of...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Covers exponential distributions. Presents examples using a graphing calculator as well as guided and independent practice questions.

Harmful algal blooms occur when algae, which form the base of the ocean food web, grow in massive numbers and produce toxic or harmful effects on people, fish, shellfish, marine mammals, and birds. In this project you will learn how to...

Through eight lessons, students are introduced to many facets of dams, including their basic components, the common types (all designed to resist strong forces), their primary benefits (electricity generation, water supply, flood...
