Learners use a scatter plot to identify whether the data can be modeled by a linear, quadratic, or trigonometric function. The math graph is available in PDF format.

This task asks students to analyze a set of data about the height of a basketball for each time it bounces. They choose a model that reasonably fits the data and use the model to answer questions about the physical context. This variant...

The goal of this task is to examine some population data for large cities from a modeling perspective. Students are asked to decide if the population data can be accurately modeled by a linear, quadratic, and/or exponential function, and...

Students review non-linear models. The resource consists of review exercises on the mathematics concepts.

In this task, students are shown a table of population data for the city of London and are asked to explore whether a linear, quadratic, or exponential function would be appropriate to model relationships within the data. They are next...

This site features an online textbook with very in-depth information about multivariable statistics. (NOTE: In the archived version, some images do not appear. However, many of them are multiple-choice questions for students, and if you...

A geometry instructional activity that examines the history and structure of ancient pyramids and engages students in constructing pyramid models. A comprehensive instructional activity that considers students with diverse learning...

This task asks students to identify when two quantitative variables show evidence of a linear association and to describe the strength and direction of that association. Students will use a scatterplot showing the finishing times for the...

In this activity, students will explore the rebound height of a ball and develop a function that will model the rebound heights for a particular bounce. The model can then be used to predict the height of the ball for any bounce.

In this activity, students develop models for a light year and compare numbers written in scientific notation and in standard notation.

This lesson introduces students to Activity Center and is intended to help students develop the understanding of how use population information to compute populations, changes and to develop population models to make predictions.

[Free Registration/Login Required] A basic premise of science is that much of the physical world can be described mathematically and many physical phenomena are predictable. This scientific outlook took place in Europe during the late...

HSA-CED.A.1: Interactive resource which create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems. Include equations arising from linear and quadratic functions, and simple rational and exponential functions....

In this activity, students' will use a motion detector to plot the position versus time graph for a swinging pendulum. They will determine the period of the motion and model the position data using a cosine function.

Determine which ordered pair represents a solution to a graph or equation. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Students evaluate a scatter plot to determine the relationship between two variables. The scatter plot is available in PDF format.

A biology student is studying bacterial growth. She was surprised to find that the population of the bacteria doubled every hour. Aligns with the F-LE.A and N-RN.A.1 standards.

In this activity, students will collect the Women's 5000 meter progression of world record data and find the median - median line and the linear regression for the data. They will investigate the appropriateness of each of the models.

This site from the University of North Caroline at Wilmington provides great information on the lines in a plane. The information that is given is in-depth and complete, touching on the slope of a line, equations of lines, and linear...

The online course consists of educational materials about probability and statistics. Lecture notes, exams, and assignments are included.

Students, teachers, and parents alike will enjoy this challenging math site. It contains a clever brain teaser section plus creative problems related to algebra, geometry, measurement, numbers, statistics, and probability. A Spanish...

This lesson focuses on Interpreting and analyzing linear, quadratic, and exponential models and graphs. Students will use best fit lines to interpret contexts, distinguish whether contexts are linear or exponential functions, use the...
