Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson introduces students to lines of best fit and their applications. While the extensions delve into correlation, the main lesson focuses only on collecting data, creating a...

In this adventure, students will analyze the relationship between height and stride length, and then use that information to identify the biker who left the footprints. They create a scatter plot, find the linear regression equation for...

In this activity, students examine data about bacteria and their growth. They produce a scatter plot, a best-fit model, and draw conclusions based on the data and graph.

In this activity, students find a conversion equation that will calculate the corresponding Celsius temperature for any given Fahrenheit temperature. Students learn to graph scatter plots, analyze and graph linear equations, compute and...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Use a calculator to create a scatter plot and to determine the equation of the line of best fit.

A collection of lesson ideas, a practice activity, and teacher resources for exploring regression analysis.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson has students create box-and-whisker plots for given data, and then determine which (if any) data points are outliers. Students determine outliers through two methods in this...

Investigate the relationship among humidity, air temperature, and the heat index while learning about modeling data, evaluating functions, and describing the end behavior of a function. Students will use graphing calculator technology to...

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson introduced students to simple coding techniques (namely, the shift cipher). Students learn to translate codes from nonsense to English by quantifying each letter, and then...

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson helps students understand the Goldbach Conjecture (any even number greater than four can be written as the sum of two odd prime integers). Students explore how many pairs of odd...

Students graph normal distributions, shade desired areas, and find related probabilities. They graph Normal probability scatter plots to check the normal (linear) shape of a data distribution.

In this activity, students determine the pH of liquid samples. They get familiar with the pH scale, create graphs comparing pH levels, and compare data displayed as a scatter plot, a boxplot, a histogram, and a bar graph.

Students examine data about garbage production and graphically represent data in a scatter plot. From the data students make predictions. They develop an understanding of the environmental impact of trash accumulation and the need for a...

In this activity, students take distance readings as they walk in front of a CBR. They apply the properties of a linear function to develop a model for the motion and interpret the values used in the model. Students learn to graph...

In this activity, students collect both Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature data for several water samples of varying temperatures. They use the data to find a conversion equation that will calculate the Fahrenheit temperature for any...

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson has students try to discover if there has been a significant change in cell phone use over the course of ten days. If so, this "change point" can be detected by creating a line of...

Use the TI-89 to find the area between curves, find arc length, and solve first and second order differential equations. Examples in the activity use calculator screenprints and keystroke instructions to demonstrate the use of the...
