A regional city has had lots of problems with gangs and violence over the years. The mayor, chief of police, and city council need your help. Data are available for the following: Incidents of violence, Homicides, Assaults, Regional Population (Census data), Unemployment, Unemployment rate, High School enrollment, High school drop outs, Graduation rate, Drop out rate, Prison population, Released on parole, Parole violations, Percent of parole violations, and Juvenile Inmates. Analyze and model these data to give the city a plan to reduce violence.

In this webinar, Dr. Mathes shares research on what is possible towards having students that no longer experience severe reading problems. She shares what we know in terms of research, including brain research, what interventions have been shown to be highly effective, and the ages at which we get the best effects for these kids.
Curiosity is the urge to explain the unexpected, to resolve uncertainty, or the urge to know more (Meta X Learning). Cognitive scientist Elizabeth Bonawitz suggests it “acts as a kind of filter you put over the world to help the mind decide what information to attend to. It’s a physiological response that helps drive action and decision-making to support learning.”

In this ULEAD video series, state leaders in mathematics education describe the elements that go into creating a successful mathematics program. This video focuses on curriculum, instruction, and assessment as part of Utah's guiding vision for K-12 mathematics.
The Word documents linked on this web page identify resources from the NRICH collection that have been mapped to the strands (Number, Algebra, Shape and Space, and Handling Data) of the framework for teaching mathematics in the United Kingdom. These resources promote the development of content knowledge as well as mathematical thinking and problem-solving (process) skills. The stage 1 mapping is most useful for K-2, while the stage 2 document is for grades 3-6.
With your mouse, drag data points and their error bars, and watch the best-fit polynomial curve update instantly. You choose the type of fit: linear, quadratic, cubic, or quartic. The reduced chi-square statistic shows you when the fit is good. Or you can try to find the best fit by manually adjusting fit parameters.

The purpose of this task is to introduce or reinforce the concept of a function, especially in a context where the function is not given by an explicit algebraic representation. Further, the last part of the task emphasizes the significance of one variable being a function of another variable in an immediately relevant real-life context. Instructors might prepare themselves for variations on the problems that the students might wander into (e.g., whether one person could have two home phone numbers) and how such variants affect the correct responses.
