Students explore the various uses of the logistic function. Students use the internet to collect world population data and find a logistic model for their data and use their chosen model to predict future populations.

Students use the data from USA TODAY Snapshot "World population milestones" to explore and explain the trends in the world population.

Show how exponential growth can look linear. Pupils come to understand the importance of looking at the entire picture as they compare the US population to the world population. Initially, the populations look linear with the same rate...

Students research epidemics that have devastated world population at various points in history. They share and calculate statistics obtained in their research and develop graphs comparing and contrasting how different epidemics affect...

Skeeters are used to model linear and exponential population growth in a wonderfully organized lesson plan including teachers' and students' notes, an assignment, graphs, tables, and equations. Filled with constant deep-reaching...

Students explore an exponential relationship and how it relates to human population growth and the current global population crisis. They graph both exponential and linear information.

Young scholars explore an exponential relationship and how it relates to human population growth and the current global population crisis.

Students research to find information about populations and complete world maps by labeling the current population, and determining the 10 countries with the largest population. They search the "World Population Data Sheet." On the third...

Fifth graders construct data graphs based upon sets of data. In this graphing instructional activity, 5th graders read the text If the World Were a Village and discuss how types of graphs accurately represent a large population. Students...

Learners survey the class and graph the results. In this graphing and data collection lesson, students conduct a survey to see where their shirts were produced. Individuals use software to graph the results and create a written...

Are the Arctic ice caps really melting out of existence? Junior climatologists examine the statistics of ice decline through four math-based lessons. Each activity incorporates data, climate information, and environmental impact into an...

Scholars show what they know about data collection and analysis with an activity that examines a smaller population of Houghton, Texas. Independently or in pairs, learners identify their research question, gather, graph, and analyze...

Learners observe Americans through the eyes of the world.  In this human population lesson, students utilize the Internet to view the World Pop Clock and follow the world's population by the minute.  Learners predict what the...

In this statistics worksheet, students examine data on a variety of subjects related to growth patterns and apply the data to 4 different graphs.

Young scholars study exponential functions. In this exponential growth lesson, students conduct a simulation in which a population grows at random but predictable rate. Young scholars compare and contrast linear and exponential...

Students solve exponential functions and inequalities. In this algebra lesson, students find the roots of equations and use it to graph and evaluate exponential functions. They simplify exponents using the law of exponents.

Students relate math with real life situations. They identify and plot points on a grid map. They identify and locate the Drop Box Sites.

Learners examine the built environment and infrastructures of their community by constructing contour equipment, using the equipment, and comparing their results to current topographical maps of the same area

The data in the USA TODAY Snapshot "World Population in 2050" is in a relative frequency form. students can use the percents to calculate the population for each of the continents shown and then display this data as a bar graph.
