In this video from Cyberchase, the CyberSquad searches for a kidnapper using their only clues: a footprint and a handprint.
Data Tool is a data analysis tool for plotting and fitting data from laboratory experiments, simulations, video analysis, or any other data set organized into columns. A click of a checkbox in Data Tool allows the user to change the appearance of plots, see standard statistics for the data set or apply built-in linear, quadratic or cubic fits to the data set. Data Tool also includes a number of standard mathematical functions that can be applied to the data set, allowing for further analysis and extending the range of potential fits to the data.
Seven basic quantities are the seven dimensions of physical quantities.
A Galton board is a vertical board with n rows of pegs onto which a ball is dropped. Each time a ball hits a peg, it has a probability p of bouncing to the left and a probability of 1-p of bouncing to the right. The simulation's histogram shows the distribution of x-coordinates as the balls leave the board and are collected into bins. The simulation gives rise to the binomial distribution if the probabilities of left and right bounces are equal. At first there does not seem to be any pattern but after many trials the familiar "bell curve" shape begins to emerge.
In this activity students will: Investigate how triangles can be used to design bicycles; Measure lengths and angles used to make different bicycle frames;Make conjectures about angle sizes and type of bicycles.
At Inside Mathematics, we’ve assembled multiple ways for educators to begin to transform their teaching practices. You might be in search of materials and tasks you can use immediately with your students; you can search by grade level and content area below to find core mathematical principles as well as materials developed by the Mathematics Assessment Resource Service (MARS). If you want to develop your understanding of the national Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practice #2, look here.
Students will apply their knowledge and demonstrate their ability to use standard and non-standard customary units in a cooperative measurement activity.
CK-12 Basic Physics - Second Edition updates CK-12 Basic Physics and is intended to be used as one small part of a multifaceted strategy to teach physics conceptually and mathematically.
Grade 10: Physics. Imagine you had to make curtains and needed to buy fabric. The shop assistant would need to know how much fabric was required. Telling her you need fabric 2 wide and 6 long would be insufficient -- you have to specify the unit (i.e. 2 metres wide and 6 metres long). Without the unit the information is incomplete and the shop assistant would have to guess. If you were making curtains for a doll's house the dimensions might be 2 centimetres wide and 6 centimetres long!
