Rethinking Functions: Bringing Data and Statistics to Life in Math Class
Wednesday July 30, 2025 3:30pm - 4:30pm MDT
TBA
In many cases, data and statistics standards are the first to be sidelined when time is tight. But what if we could teach these concepts seamlessly alongside functions? Using tasks that connect these standards is a powerful way to meet curricular goals, engage students in real-world math, and make mathematical modeling a regular part of learning. For instance, tracking the spread of a viral outbreak can demonstrate exponential (and logarithmic) functions while teaching statistical concepts like rate of change and trends over time. Throughout this session, we’ll explore activities that highlight these overlaps. By taking a deep dive into functions, we’ll not only make data and statistics more accessible but also transform how students experience math in context.
