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

How can we use different types of non-linear regression models to analyze real-world data and make predictions? This project focuses on answering this exact question. This project will connect 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 a

This PowerPoint presentation is a 1 period lesson (45-55 minutes) introducing students to key concepts and terms in statistics.

Key terms include, but are not limited to: statisticsdescriptive datainferential datapopulationsamplepopulation parametersample statisticSlides are animated and include answers, where applicable. A link is also provided to a YouTube video which can be accessed when the presentation

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

This is an introductory lesson to the 7 letters that represent the Roman numerals. It begins with the basic representation for 1 and moves through to M (1,000). There are practice problems after each new Roman numeral is introduced. I conclude with problems giving the Roman numeral and asking for the value and then showing clocks with Roman numerals and asking what time is showing. All slides are animated with solutions provided. An understanding of addition, subtraction, and place value is

Included in this bundle are PowerPoint lessons for pre-Algebra probability. This bundle includes lessons on the following topics: Experimental and Theoretical ProbabilityMaking SurveysIndependent and Dependent EventsPermutationsCombinationsAll lessons are animated, have definitions, examples, and answers. Homework problems are not supplied because we all use different textbooks. As a bonus, I have also included a short Project Based Learning (PBL) activity on Making Surveys. You can assign an

Students don't know where to start this project or how to document their findings and conclusions? This template will help students organize their Bivariate Data Project information clearly and effectively, ensuring they cover all necessary components of their analysis. All necessary graded items are included in the template. And since it is a Google Doc, students can make a copy for themselves and edit as necessary. Organization. Completeness. Clarity. Accuracy.

Attached is a lesson introducing mathematical expressions with variables and the referenced homework assignment. The lesson is a PowerPoint presentation and is fully animated. The textbook that this lesson support is Structure & Method Course 1, however it can be adapted for other texts.

This is a 2-day lesson on Symmetry. It includes a PowerPoint presentation for 2 days as well as Do Now's to start off the lesson. Additionally, at the end of the PowerPoint, there are a few slides on Rotations, Reflections, and Translations as a review if you want to include that at the beginning of your lesson. All the slides are animated with answers. There is also a Do Now Word document for the first day's lesson. If you are not using Pearson Realize, please insert your own textbook examp

This is a PowerPoint presentation for a high school Geometry class. It can be given in person or remotely if distance learning. This presentation covers several topics in a unit on Circles including arcs and sectors, tangent lines, chords, and inscribed angles. I don't assume my students know or remember terms, so if a term is given, I first introduce it. This presentation covers all the basic theorems and corollaries related to these topics that are seen on SAT and ACT exams. I am happ

This is a mini-project or PBL activity where after learning how to find the equation of a line and how to calculate slope, students will create a graph of their name using only straight lines and determine the equation of each line. You determine how many slanted lines need to be included. There is a grading rubric provided as well as a sample. For me, students who created a more elaborate graph (using their name vs. initials, using block or bubble letters to write their name, ...) receive t

What is a line graph? How does it differ from a bar graph? How do you draw line graphs? This presentation is one class length (about 40 minutes). It is animated and helps students understand and learn how to plot and interpret line graphs.

This a a lesson for a Geometry class as an introduction to the trigonometric ratios (SOHCAHTOA) and their use to find side lengths and the inverse trigonometric ratios to find angle measures. This lesson also discusses special right triangles (45-45-90 and 30-60-90) and how we apply the trig. ratios to those types of problems as well. Complementary angles are discussed using the trig. ratios along with practice problems. This lesson includes practice along with all answers. All slides are auto

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,
