Vocational school? There were over eight million full-time students enrolled at four-year full-time colleges in 2019 and nearly four million enrolled in vocational courses in 2018. Understanding the correlation between higher education and employment may inspire the class of 2021 to pursue a college degree or technical training beyond high school. Explore this math activity with your high school students that focuses on unemployment rates by educational attainment. Students will have an opportunity to create scatter plots, analyze visual data, calculate correlation coefficients, and identify and evaluate influential points. |  It's National Camping Month! Did you know Thomas Hiram Holding, a British tailor, popularized camping in the 1800s? Inspired by his outdoor adventures as a young boy traveling the Western United States by wagon train, he went on to design modernized camping equipment.

This middle school activity teaches students to calculate five-number summaries and create and interpret box plots using historic economic census data. Enjoy the great outdoors this summer! |  National Children's Day: June 13 Children are a treasure! So how much time do we spend with our little gems?
