Google for Education: Exploring Your Environment
Students act as data collectors who gather different types of information about various things in the environment. Students then organize the data in a table and reflect on the possible uses of this data.
Google
Google for Education: Data Aggregation and Decomposition (Excel)
By using Microsoft Excel, students collect, decompose, and re-aggregate class data. Students use computational thinking skills by decomposing long lists of information and writing basic algorithms to help analyze data.

Google for Education: Ratios and Proportions
Learners use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and math problems by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations.
Google
Google for Education: Slope and Y Intercept
Students calculate the slope and y-intercept of a line passing through a given set of points. Use Python to solve various challenging slope and y-intercept exercises.
Google
Google for Education: Linear Association
This student activity allows for practice in graphing data in a spreadsheet and relate the "slope" of their graphs to the association between two sets of data.
Google
Google for Education: Describing an Everyday Object
For this activity, students act like inventors of an object that does not yet exist, and they try to describe what need would be fulfilled by this object, and how specifically it functions.
Google
Google for Education: Degrees and Radians
Students label key points on the unit circle in both radians and degrees. They count their way around the circle in 30-degree increments, and then again in increments of radians. Finally, students go through a similar process for angles...

Google for Education: Working With Large Tables of Data
Students work with large tables of GPS data and sort, manipulate, and visualize the data so it can be easily understood.
Google
Google for Education: Common Fractions and Equivalent Percentages
Example problems where students look for patterns in the chart to understand and remember certain common fractions and their equivalent percentages.
Google
Google for Education: Patterns in the Periodic Table
Students study trends in the periodic table of elements, supplemented by the use of spreadsheet functions. The spreadsheet functions presented can be used on any data set.
Google
Google for Education: Multiplying by Numbers Between Zero and One
Example problems practicing multiplying by zero and one where students apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division of fractions.
Google
Google for Education: Finding Patterns in Spelling Errors and History
In this lesson, students analyze spelling errors and large sets of data to find patterns, develop abstractions, and discover how large amounts of data can tell us much about our society.
Google
Google for Education: Percent Change
Students analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems. Here, look for patterns to understand and solve percent change problems.
