Exploring histograms
In this lesson, from Illuminations, students create their own sets of data using an interactive data analysis tool. They then examine how various statistical functions such as mean, median, and standard deviation depend on the choice of data. (Learn more)

Creating A firewise defensible space
In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, students learn about creating defensible space around a home using a series of fire protection zones. Students then draw the zones that surround a house and estimate the area of each zone. (Learn more)
