In this module students use their geometry and algebra skills to analyze a wildlife refuge in Nevada. Calculating the area, perimeter, and the ratio of the two allows students to analyze different configurations for a refuge. Specifically, they look at ways of designing a wild horse refuge, using the concepts they have learned. 

In this module students analyze real-world data relating to apple production and consumption. Looking at global and US data, students look at measures of central tendency by analyzing a box-and-whisker plot and later normal distribution graphs.

Americans manufacture, use, and recycle plastic products. In this module students look at data regarding the use of plastics in order to learn and apply skills related to place value.

The ability to identify equivalent fractions and the ability to generate such fractions are important skills for elementary students. In this module students are taught both skills using a variety of approaches. 

In this module there is a complete review of the topic of quadratic functions and equations. This module covers four key areas: 1. Definition of a quadratic function; 2. Definition of a quadratic equation; 3. Solving quadratic equations algebraically; 4. Solving quadratic functions graphically.

When a driver slams the brakes on a car, skid marks are created on the road. Accident investigators can measure the length of the skid marks to estimate the speed of the car. This involves using a quadratic function.

In this module explore the paths of fireworks and learn about quadratic functions. Students explore parabolas graphed in Quadrant I, with roots at the origin and positive x.

Why do we refrigerate food? To keep bacteria from ruining the food. Refrigeration slows down bacterial growth, allowing us to keep food in our homes for a longer time. But what happens when bacteria continue to grow even in a refrigerator?

The Archer Fish earns its name because it accurately sprays jets of water at insect prey, knocks them into the water, and has a quick meal. The ability to accurately do this has to overcome several geometric and physical challenges. In this module students explore these challenges in more detail.

Cheetahs can accelerate up to 75 mph and can easily outpace a gazelle. But gazelles have adapted to keep cheetahs at bay long enough to tire them out. We can analyze this phenomenon mathematically through the use of some basic concepts involving functions.
