Curated OER
Human Number Line
Fourth graders become aware and comprehend number relationships among those numbers most commonly found in geometric applications. They work in groups, 4th graders arrange themselves in order form the least to the greatest number in...
Curated OER
How Alike Are We?
Fourth graders find the range, mode, median, and mean for each of the data sets (height and shoe size). They discuss which measure of central tendency for each data set best represents the class and why. Students graph the shoe size and...

Determining the Enthalpy Change of a Reaction
In this enthalpy of reactions instructional activity, students use a known amount of copper (II) sulphate solution and an excess of zinc powder to calculate the enthalpy change of the reaction. Students measure the temperature change...

Math TODAY for TI-Navigator System - Is Leisure Time Really Shrinking?
High schoolers organize data from the USA TODAY Snapshot, "Is leisure time really shrinking?" into two scatter plots and determine the quadratic model for each scatter plot. They determine if these graphs intersect and learn the concept...
Curated OER
Extraordinary Extrapolation
Students study how scientists have estimated the maximum height to which trees can grow, and assess the reliability of interpolation and extrapolation techniques by making predictions with particular data sets and analyzing accuracy of...
Curated OER
Point Graphs
Students experiment with point graphs. In this math instructional activity, students are divided into groups and perform an experiment to see how high a ball bounces, recording their results on a point graph. Students then answer...
Curated OER
Numerical Analysis: Polynomial Interpolation
In this polynomial instructional activity, students identify the interpolated and extrapolated value of given equations. This four-page instructional activity contains approximately ten problems. Explanations and examples are provided.
