Form a good familiarity with the AP® test using Form B of the 2010 AP® Statistics free-response questions. Pupils use a test from a previous administration to prepare for their exams. A set of six questions assesses box plots,...

There's no better way to prepare your class for the AP® test format than previous exams. Instructors and scholars use the 2012 AP® Statistics free-response questions to familiarize themselves with the test. Topics covered in the exam...

Data distributions can be compared in terms of center, variability, and shape. Two exploratory challenges present data in two different displays to compare. The displays of histograms and box plots require different comparisons based...

Fourth graders use a four-square graphic organizer to plan a paragraph writing about a wheelwright. Using gathered research from the previous unit, young writers discover how to organize a plot in preparation for writing a historical...

The manipulation of time is one of the most essential elements in Sophocles' Oedipus the King. As your language arts class participates in a jigsaw discussion activity, they work together to analyze the play's plot structure and...

Help pupils see the world through the eyes of a mathematician. As they examine tide patterns, sound waves, and stock market patterns using trigonometric functions, learners create scatter plots and write best-fit functions. 

Let's go fishing together. The lesson looks at the giant catfish from two perspectives. Mathematically, pupils develop a scatter plot and a best-fit line for the size, while others take a scientific look at the reasons for their...

Hamlet has an unusual take on the criminal justice system when he decides to determine his uncle's guilt by staging a play. With the resource, scholars continue analyzing Hamlet's third soliloquy from Act 2.2 of Shakespeare's Hamlet....

Is foot length to forearm length a linear association? The class collects data of fellow scholars' foot length and the length of their forearms. They plot the data and find a line of best fit. Using that line, they make predictions of...

Students complete writing activities for fiction. In this fiction writing lesson, students complete four sets of activities in a writer's workshop format to practice reading and writing in a fiction style. Students develop plot outlines,...

Learners find the mean, median, and mode for each of four data sets. They are given two line plots, and compute the median and mode of the shown data. They find the median and mode for three stem and leaf plots. They solve two word...

Where the Red Fern Grows provides the text for a study of the literary elements of plot, character, and setting. Discussion questions and vocabulary lists are referenced but not included.

In this Scatter Diagrams and Curve Fitting worksheet, students are guided in how to graph a scatter diagram (plot) and a Best Fit Line using a TI-83 graphing calculator. 

Students solve 3 riddles given by the teacher and discuss how solving a mystery is like solving a riddle. In this language arts instructional activity, students watch as the teacher records problems in a detective story. Students record...

Students practice plotting coordinates on a flat surface or plane. The coordinates can be identified and labeled. An interesting variation of this process is made in the lesson when the position of holes made by thrown darts are plotted.

In this scatter plot worksheet, students write an equation for a line that would fit the given scatter plot. They create scatter plots from given information. This two-page worksheet contains eight problems.

Eighth graders practice plotting points on a coordinate plane. As a class, they create and label the parts of a graph. Given ordered pairs, they plot the points, connect them to reveal a particular shape, and find the area of the shape.

Rising and falling actions are big parts of how a plot moves through the course of a story, narrative, or novel. Youngsters use examples from their texts as they examine where the action rises and falls in the book, How My Parents...
