I describe how data pooling and data visualization can be employed in the first-semester general chemistry laboratory to introduce core statistical concepts such as central tendency and dispersion of a data set. The pooled data are plotted as a 1-D scatterplot, a purpose-designed number line through which statistical features of the data are…

Five sets of activities for students are included in this document. Each is designed for use in junior high and secondary school mathematics instruction. The first two are concerned with the properties of polygons. The third involves statistical decision making using basketball statistics as examples. The fourth is related to the perimeter and…

Five sets of activities for students are included in this document. Each is designed for use in secondary school mathematics instruction. Topics include: (1) "5-Con Triangles"; (2) "Striking Sequences"; (3) "Invariants"; (4) "On the Ball," (a geometry lesson); and (5) "Coloring Maps." These topics focus on geometric and statistical concepts. Each…

Five sets of activities for students are included in this document. Each is designed for use in junior high and secondary school mathematics instruction. The first "Note" concerns magic squares in which the numbers in every row, column, and diagonal add up to the same sum. An etching by Albrecht Durer is presented, with four questions followed by…
