This eModule presents a scenario for students to interpret data and make predictions. To prevent the school cafeteria from getting rid of chocolate milk, J.R. and Elise gather data about chocolate milk sales for the last 12 weeks. Students help J.R. and Elise analyze the data, using the lines-of-best-fit to predict whether chocolate milk will soon be a best-seller. Choosing Chocolate is is based on materials created by SRI International for the Math Insight project.

This eModule has students analyze three separate pollution reduction plans to see which will be most effective. Involves gathering and analyzing data from spreadsheets and scatterplots, then performing and comparing calculations. Cool to Carpool is based on materials created by SRI International for the Math Insight project.

This eModule asks students to calculate what an excavation company should charge for digging a hole. Students must find the volume of an irregular shaped prism, convert units, calculate the cost based on a linear formula, and write an explanation. Digging Dirt is based on materials created by SRI International for the Math Insight project.

This eModule uses concepts of linear relationships to solve a problem. J.R. and Kristi each took out a loan for $400, but each is paying back the loan at a different rate. Students must find how soon each will pay off the loan using a linear equation or a scatterplot with a line of best fit. Lessen the Loan is based on materials created by SRI International for the Math Insight project.

This eModule presents sequences of geometric patterns and encourages students to generate rules and functions describing relationships between the pattern number and characteristics of the pattern. Students are also given the opportunity to represent the relationships they come up with using tables and graphs.

[Lesson Plan] | [Discuss]

This eModule reviews the definition of a pattern and gives students practice in recognizing and extending patterns. It continues by introducing arithmetic and geometric sequences. Students are guided through the process of creating mathematical rules to describe sequences and solving for the nth term.

This eModule presents motivations for right triangle geometry and provides interactive worksheets and diagrams with feedback to help students learn to solve for unknown angles and sides of right triangles.

[Lesson Plan] | [Discuss]

Students are guided through the process of discovering relationships in right triangles and defining the Trigonometric Functions.

[Lesson Plan]

This emodule introduces the concept of slope by comparing real world items with slope. Students explore the steepness of lines and slope. The formulas to find slope are also introduced.
