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 construct a composite dot plot of shots at a basketball hoop by two classes. They identify the mode and range, and make statements about the results.
Students draw the next two triangles in a spatial pattern, calculate the areas of a range of triangles, work out the height of a triangle given its area, and write a rule for the pattern.
Students compare drawings of a healthy and unhealthy plant, collect data, and decide which data distinguishes them. This is a mathematics/science resource.
