In this gamma-ray worksheet, students read about the Fermi Gamma-ray Observatory and how it measures the invisible lumps in space. Students solve 3 problems using an equation to determine the time that gamma-rays travel in space and the...

Connect the size of a rolling cup to the size of circle it makes. Pupils view videos of cups of different sizes rolling in a circle. Using the videos and additional data, they attempt to determine a relationship between cup...

One of the key questions in statistics is whether the results are good enough. Use an activity to help pupils understand the importance of sample size and the effect it has on variability. Groups collect their own sample data and compare...

Students examine college costs in different states. In this college cost lesson, students create a table and determine the average cost of college for the states listed. They organize the data into measurement categories. Students create...

In this trig functions worksheet, students find the trig values of 46 problems.  Students find the trig values of various radian measures.  Students use trig properties to prove trig identities.

Provides lengthy explanations of the measures of central tendencies - mean, mode, and median - and the measures of variability - range, variance, standard deviation - are given here. Graphs of interesting "side items" are presented as...

A PowerPoint explaining and showing examples of how to measure the mean of the values of a random variable.

Provides lengthy explanations of the measures of central tendency - mean, mode, and median - and the measures of variability - range, variance, standard deviation. Graphs of interesting examples are presented as well, skewed...

[Free Registration/Login Required] In this lesson, young scholars build geometric models of graduation caps using stiff paper. The activity requires the application of skills in finding surface area, understanding similarity, knowing the...
