Students calculate the Balmer series. For this physics lesson, students observe hydrogen lamp spectra using spectrometers. They calculate wavelength and compare them with their theoretical calculations.

Students, in groups, classify furniture, share their categories and rationales, then note how their different schemes vary, perfectly logical and useful, but completely arbitrary.

A comprehensive guide for learning all about discrete data with definitions, the difference between discrete and continuous data, graphical representation of discrete data through visualization, solved examples, and interactive questions...

In this Stats lab, students will work with a set of playing cards and a calculator. They will compare empirical data and a theoretical distribution to determine if an everyday experiment fits a discrete distribution. They will compare a...

Discrete mathematics deals with areas of mathematics that are discrete, as opposed to continuous, in nature. Sequences and series, counting problems, graph theory and set theory are some of the many branches of mathematics in this...

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...

This supplement presents a wide variety of interesting and important applications in discrete mathematics, grouped in individual chapters for thorough treatment of each application. Each chapter contains its own set of Examples and...

A thorough list of topics in the study of Discrete Mathematics. Combinatorics, Graph Theory, and Point Lattices are three of the many areas given in-depth explanations here. Many of the links contain discussions of the topics that both...

The Contemporary Mathematics in Context series provides a common core of broadly useful mathematics for all students. The discrete mathematics strand develops student ability to model and solve problems involving enumeration, sequential...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Introduces discrete random variables.

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.

Explore the term discrete data and look at examples for further explanation.

This resource provides short descriptions, with links to longer explanations, of examples of discrete mathematics as applied to our everyday lives and as used in important and interesting research and corporate applications.

These problems are collections of home works, quizzes, and exams over the past few years. Most of the problems are from Discrete Mathematics with ap-plicationsby H. F. Mattson, Jr. (Wiley). Our main emphasis is to provide the student a...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson students learn the difference between discrete and non-discrete functions. Students examine guided notes, review guided practice, watch instructional...

This site provides students practice with the concept of discrete and continuous data. Students can learn about the topic by completing an interactive tutorial. Students can then take a ten question timed test to practice the skill.

Here is a site that clearly and thoroughly explains the the notion that calculus is the study of continuity. This page is mostly discussion of the difference between a continuous quantity and a discrete quantity. Point this site out to...

This article is an in-depth look at graphs. Topics covered are graph models, terminology, representations of graphs, graph isomorphism, connectivity, Euler and Hamiltonian Paths, and more. Examples and explanations are included.

Students collect data in a spreadsheet and learn to use various functions and analysis tools to better see patterns in their eating habits.
