Proportionality in Tables, Graphs, and Equations
Young scholars create different methods to analyze their data. For this algebra lesson, students differentiate between proportion and non-proportional graph. They use the TI-Navigator to create the graphs and move them around to make...

Dynagraphs
Students collect and graph their data. In this precalculus lesson, students identify the input and out of a function. They find the domain and range and the inverse of a function.
Curated OER
Multiply Boxplots
Students identify the mean, quartiles and range of a boxplot. In this statistics lesson, students identify cooperative boxplot as it relates to the data. They make conjectures about students grade distribution.
Curated OER
Percentiles
Students analyze the bell curve and make predictions. In this statistics instructional activity, students calculate the percentile to the left of the curve. They then are given the percentile and create the graph from the data.
