Can I afford to go to college? Small groups design a method to research college tuition for several years and make a prediction of costs in 2025. Classmates plot the the data on a scatter plot and graph the line of best fit to make their...

Students graph linear and exponential equations. In this algebra activity, students differentiate between linear and exponential equations. They relate it to the real world.

Students recognize, describe and extend patterns in three activities. They organize data, find patterns and describe the rule for the pattern as well as use the graphing calculator to graph the data to make and test predictions. In the...

Young scholars linearize data to determine if an exponential model is suitable. In this linearizing data to determine if an exponential model is suitable lesson plan, students graph the residuals of sets of data that appear to have an...

Students work in pairs to test the strength of spaghetti strands. They collect and graph data to determine a line of best fit. Students create a linear equation to interpret their data. Based on the data collected, students predict...

Get a line on the snakes. The assessment task requires the class to determine the species of unknown snakes based upon collected data. Individuals analyze two scatter plots and determine the most likely species for five...

Mortgages, payments, and wages correlate with each other. The short assessment presents scatter plots for young mathematicians to interpret. Class members interpret the scatter plots of price versus payment and wage versus payment for...

Provide a Hooke for a lesson on elasticity with an activity that has groups investigate a set of springs. They use a set procedure to collect data to calculate the spring constant for each spring using Hooke's Law. The groups...

Statistically speaking, the content covers several grades. Featuring all of the statistics typically covered in a college-level Statistics course, the expansive content spans from sixth grade on up to high school. Material...

In this linear regression worksheet, students solve fourteen Math Regent Exam questions regarding scatter plots and linear regression.  The solutions are provided.

In this long distance phone plane worksheet, students compare various phone plans and determine which long distance plan has the greatest savings. Students support their answers visually through the use of tables and graphs. They write...

Use this series of activities to introduce learners to graphing functions. They graph both linear and quadratic equations by hand and with a Graph Sketcher Tool. Several imbedded links and handouts are included in the lesson.

Here is an engaging lesson on solving equations with two variables. Have the class rewrite linear equations in the slope intercept form, y=mx + b. They graph the lines using the slope and y-intercepts.

Young scholars explore the concept of statistical data. In this statistical data lesson, students read an article about the dangers of peanut butter to those who are allergic. Young scholars perform a taste test of two different brands...

Students develop a formula that describes the functional relationship of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Working with a partner, they measure the diameter and circumference of circular objects in order to discover the...

Most scholars associate density with floating, but how do scientists determine the exact density of an unknown liquid? The third lesson in a seven-part series challenges scholars to find the mass and volume of two unknown liquids. Each...

Youngsters use a graphing calculator to assist in creating a function table. They graph the function on a coordinate plane. They explore the relationship between the domain and range in the graph. This four-page worksheet contains two...

Context is the key to understanding slope. A real-world application of slope uses a weight loss scenario with a constant rate of change to introduce the concept of slope of a line, before it makes a connection to the ordered pairs...
