Students conduct a statistical investigation about their prediction of the most common words used in English. They make graphs, describe their shape, and compare their own graph with ones that other students produce.
In this task students continue a triangular shape pattern with sticks to explore the rule used in the pattern. Students then use their understanding of the pattern rule to continue the pattern without the sticks.
Students compare drawings of a healthy and unhealthy plant and decide which quantitative and/or qualitative data distinguishes them. They draw conclusions from the data. This is a mathematics/science resource.
The start of spatial matchstick patterns are shown and described in tables. Students complete the tables and show the rules in either words or equations.
