In this Algebra Application, students study the life cycles of 13- and 17-year cicadas, as well as the populations of bird predators. Students develop a mathematical model using spreadsheets and investigate why the prime number life cycles help the cicadas. The math topics covered include:

Video Tutorial: Ratios: Unit Rates. In this video we look at unit rates. A Video Transcript is available for this tutorial. Note: The download is Media4Math's guide to closed captioned videos.
