GalleryCreate a Data SetStudents will create data sets with a specified mean, median, range, and number of data values.Bouncing Ball Experiment How high does the class think a typical ball bounces (compared to its drop height) on its first bounce? Students will conduct an experiment to find out.Adding New Data to a Data Set Given a data set, students will explore how the mean changes as they add data values.Bowling Scores Students will create bowling score data sets that meet certain criteria with regard to measures of center.Mean Number of Fillings Ten people sit in a dentist's waiting room. The mean number of fillings they have in their teeth is 4, yet none of them actually have 4 fillings. Students will explain how this situation is possible.Forestland Students will examine and interpret box plots that show the percentage of forestland in 20 European countries.What's My Data?Students will create a data set that fits a given histogram and then adjust the data set to fit additional criteria.What's My Data 2? Students will create a data set that fits a given box plot and then adjust the data set to fit additional criteria.Compare Graphs Students will make a box plot and a histogram that are based on a given line plot and then compare the three graphs to decide which one best represents the data.Random Numbers What would a data set of randomly generated numbers look like when represented on a histogram? Students will find out!No Telephone? The U.S. Census Bureau provides state-by-state data about the number of households that do not have telephones. Students will examine two box plots that show census data from 1960 and 1990 and compare and analyze the data.Who Is Taller?Who is taller—the boys in the class or the girls in the class? Students will find out by separating the class height data gathered earlier into data for boys and data for girls.

Here is a site that clearly and thoroughly explains functions and function notation. There are example problems solved, problems for the student to attempt, and answers to the student problems. Point this site out to students who have been absent or who need additional instruction on this or many other topics.

This lesson looks at the different measures of center and variability that are used when analyzing the spread of data in a distribution. Includes downloadable study guide with exercises - guide also covers other topics. [17:21]

This pathways exapnds the concepts of motion from one dimension into two dimensions. Two key applications of this are the pendulum and projectile motion. The pathways concludes with questions that test understanding of the topic.

Canadian Wildlife site features the Mountain Bluebird. Highlights its habitats and habits, range, feeding and breeding characteristics.

In this lesson on functions, students explore how to identify and create functions. Then students use functions to solve real-world problems.

Students learn how engineers navigate satellites in orbit around the Earth and on their way to other planets in the solar system. In accompanying activities, they explore how ground-based tracking and onboard measurements are performed. Also provided is an overview of orbits and spacecraft trajectories from Earth to other planets, and how spacecraft are tracked from the ground using the Deep Space Network (DSN). DSN measurements are the primary means for navigating unmanned vehicles in space. Onboard spacecraft instruments might include optical sensors and an inertial measurement unit (IMU).

Detailed math tutorial features definitions and examples that take a look at relations and functions, function notation, the domain and range of a function, and piecewise functions.

In this section we will cover function notation/evaluation, determining the domain and range of a function and function composition.

This article provides the definition of a function, with links to related material.

This lesson offers a thorough explanation of functions, domain and range, and how to find them. Includes multiple example problems and graphs. Great review tool for Algebra students.

Canadian Wildlife site features the Raccoon. Highlights its habitats and habits, range, feeding and breeding characteristics.

Watch and listen as the assistant general manager of a major league baseball team explains how he uses math in this video from KAET, Arizona PBS. A lesson plan and handouts are included. [7:43]

This lesson discusses how to determine the appropriate scope for a research question. [11:43] CCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.W.8.

Richland Community College gives a definition and examples of a function. Also includes steps to evaluate piecewise functions on a calculator.

Get the facts about the Ring-billed Gull. Besides finding a detailed physical description of North America's most abundant gull, you?ll also learn about some its unique facts and characteristics. Also included in this Bird Fact Sheet on the Ring-billed Gull is information on its habitat and habits, range, feeding, breeding, and conservation efforts. A list of resources completes the fact sheet.

This resource provides detailed facts about alligators and crocodils, including how to distinguish between a crocodile and an alligator, information on their eating habits, how a mama crocodile protects her young, and more. There are numerous pictures and a sound clip is provided.

This resource provides detailed information about the boa, as well as several pictures and an audio clip.
