Bringing Math Forward

In this packet, there are notes for students about finding standard deviation - both with and without using a graphing calculator. There is also a student exercise in which students find standard deviation with and without a calculator. Additionally, students are asked to create and analyze a histogram of the data.

This packet comes with notes for students with step by step instructions on how to find interquartile range with and without a graphing calculator as well as determining if a data set contains outliers. Additionally, the packet contains problems for students to complete on interquartile range and box and whisker plots.

This project requires that students use data, either provided data or data that they collect, to write and use linear equations in two variables to predict a person's height when given the length of the radius, humerus, or tibia. Students may work individually or in pairs, in the classroom or remotely. The project also gives two options: to graph the data physically, draw trend lines, and then determine the equations from the trend lines or to use the STAT function on a graphing calculator. Stud

Students will research populations in three different cities. Students will then graph the populations over a period of time and determine which type of function best models the population changes. Using an equation of best fit, students will predict the population of each city if the trends continue. The project can easily be made cross-curricular by using cities studied in Social Studies/History and by writing the required paragraph in ELA class.
