A Change in the Weather
Explore the power of mathematics through this two-week statistics unit. Pupils learn about several climate-related issues and complete surveys that communicate their perceptions. They graph both univariate and bivariate data and use...

Entrance Ticket
Students collect data on different events and word problems. In this algebra lesson, students use a table to organize their data. They graph their coordinate pairs on a coordinate plane and make predictions.

Who Gave It to You?
Students use logic to locate the primary cases, the people who started the spread of the disease through the population. They graph the data of the number of people infected over time (exchanges) and determine an equation that best fits...

Lesson 56
Sixth graders practice Least Common Multiple in fractions. For this fraction lesson, 6th graders look at two different fractions and find a common denominator. They sing a song to memorize mean, median, and mode.
Curated OER
The Bell Curve
Students are introduced to the normal distribution and examine the bell curve controversy.
Curated OER
Matrices: A Secret Weapon
Students perform operations with matrices. In this algebra lesson, students use cryptography and cryptanalysis to solve problems. They add, subtract, and multiply matrices.
Curated OER
Pair 'Em Up!
Third graders verify the validity of Punnett squares. They simulate a real-world situation by drawing chromosomes from a paper bag and track the data.
Curated OER
Scale Me Down
Students create scale drawings, and ultimately scale models, of real-world objects in this Math lesson about ratios, proportion, scaling factors, and cross products. The lesson includes ideas for cross-curricular extensions and is...
Curated OER
Sampling Snoops
Pupils practice formulating a hypothesis and designing an experiment to test the hypothesis. They identify several sampling techniques they can use to test their hypotheses.

Numerical Analysis: Worksheet 12: Comparing Root-Finding Methods
In this root-finding worksheet, students rank numbers in asymptotic order. They identify and discuss the roots of the original function. This four-page worksheet contains approximately 10 problems.
Curated OER
What You See Is Not Always What You Get!
Students estimate and calculate the distance of a shape. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between a horizontal distance and it's reflected image. They measure the reflection and the point starting at the eye of the observer.
Curated OER
Coin Shake-Up
Students discuss problem and take turns in pairs, one tossing the coins while the other guesses whether the coins land with the same side up or different sides up. They record the results of each guess as same or different.
