Above Average Math

This project connects students to real-world issues by examining data from various fields such as environmental science (e.g., pollution levels over time), economics (e.g., sales growth), or health studies (e.g., the spread of diseases). Students will see the relevance of statistics in making informed decisions based on data trends and will understand the importance of analyzing non-linear relationships. Bundle includes both the project description and details (which includes the data site lis

Looking for a quick and fun activity after teaching your students about scatter plots and lines of best fit? This will get your students actively engaged in creating real-world data in a scatter plot and calculating a least squares regression line based on their own data! After learning what a least squares regression line is and how to find the line of best fit for a scatter plot, your students will be conducting an experiment in this one class period assignment and recording their data while

I created this escape room as a back to school activity, but it really can be used any time of the year. There are 5 math challenges: 1. multi-step equation 2. word problem with variables 3. number sequence 4. equations in two variables 5. quadratic equation Solving each problem provides a number to the "code" that will unlock the classroom door. This can be used as a Bell Ringer or an Exit Ticket. It is a way to see what your students know/remember from the summer off or after y

This project has students investigate a bivariate data relationship: the number of pages in a textbook and its price using bivariate data analysis techniques. Concepts that students need to be familiar with prior to completing this project include: scatter plotscorrelation relationshipsprediction vs. residualsleast squares regression linescorrelation coefficientinterpreting linear modelscorrelation vs. causationThe project is in a Google Doc so that you can modify it to fit your class needs. A

Teaching your students how to solve a system of equations using matrices? THIS is the lesson you want to give! Included is a PowerPoint lesson, complete with animation and answers, that will guide your students into setting up a coefficient matrix, then an augmented matrix, and ultimately reduced row echelon form of the matrix. Prior knowledge on what an identity matrix is has been briefly included as a reminder. Prerequisite knowledge (not included in this lesson): matrix addition and sub

Did you just finish a unit on the different types of ways to display statistical data? This is a great project for you! Using a professional sports team, students use the quantitative data of height or weight of players to create data displays and interpret their data. The project can be modified for the middle school (i.e., mean, median, mode, and range) or high school level (i.e., skewness, standard deviation, and outlier fences). Data display choices include dot plots, histograms, line gra

Finished teaching transformations? Want to know how much your students understand? This is a GOOGLE FORM to provided a graded assessment on all four types of transformations - Reflections, Rotations, Translations, and Dilations. It does not go nuts asking several questions about each one. This quiz determines if they understand how to apply the rules for each type of transformation. It also tests students on whether they understand what each type of transformation does (flip, turn, slide,
