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...

This activity can be used to explore forces acting on an object, to practice graphing experimental data, and/or to introduce the algebra concepts of slope and intercept of a line. A wooden 2x4 beam is set on top of two scales. Students...

In this activity, students fit a linear least-square regression line to population data. They explore various functions to model the given data.

This website, from the University of Edinburgh, provides a lengthy glossary of computer graphics terms written by Olin Lathrop, author of "The Way Computer Graphics Work". This site provides simple definitions of basic terms; no graphics...

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.

Discusses the mathematics involved in basic pumping well hydraulics. Includes a section dealing with the steady state solution.

An article that describes different aspects of management science including linear programs, network models, inventory models and waiting line models.

See how motion is converted and the energy associated with the motion is used to do work.

Watch as two particles move through a confined area. The emphasis is on their motion in a straight line until they encounter a barrier and are reflected off in a different direction.

Students investigate the line of best fit and the regression feature of a graphing calculator. The example consists of a math graph with given points that are available in PDF format.

This site from IBM provides a simple introduction to the field of biometrics and includes descriptions with examples for several personal identification and recognition systems (e.g., fingerprints, hand geometry).

Given a scatter plot, can you estimate the slope of the line of best fit that goes through the data points? Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video, or receive hints.
