Curated OER
Analyzing Graphs and Data
Students collect and analyze data. In this statistics instructional activity, students graph their data and make inferences from the collected data. They display their data using graphs, bar graphs, circles graphs and Venn diagrams.
Curated OER
How Sharp Is Your Memory?
Students play a memory game as they explore reasoning. For this algebra lesson, students identify concepts using pictures and words. They model real life scenarios using hands on manipulatives.
Curated OER
Walking on Air
Students collect and analyze data with a graph. For this statistics lesson, students use central tendencies to find the meaning of their data. They display the data on a Ti calculator.
Curated OER
Snow Cover By Latitude
Students examine computerized data maps in order to create graphs of the amount of snowfall found at certain latitudes by date. Then they compare the graphs and the data they represent. Students present an analysis of the graphs.
Curated OER
Stem-and-Leaf Plots
Students are introduced to stem-and-leaf plots and calculating the mean, median, and mode from the plots.
Curated OER
Environmental Mathematics
Eighth graders determine food that they would need to survive in the wild. They graph the best foods for their environments and rate the survivability rate for each member of their group.
Curated OER
Rotation Sensor Challenge
Students participate in a challenge to construct a rotation sensor with the highest degree of accuracy and repeatability. They conduct computer analysis of their sensor using repeated trial.
Curated OER
