Types of Graphs Teacher Resources

First graders ask their classmates which holiday parades they have seen and record the responses to complete the graph. A basic lesson, but great for teaching or strengthening graphic skills.

With two summers of babysitting money, Mia needs a way to compare her earning from both years. Show your learners that they can organize the data onto a double-line graph to easily compare which summer was more profitable. The lesson...

Determine what the pieces look like together. The Mathispower4u video for Algebra 1 provides a simple example of graphing a piecewise function. The function is made up of three segments that consist of constant functions. Pupils see...

After watching an engaging video where Curious George gets to play librarian for the day, sorting books, scholars sort information and graph their data. Learners move from concrete to picture to abstract graphing and analyze...

The solution should satisfy each equation. Pupils view a helpful video showing an example of finding the solution to a system of linear equations by graphing. The presenter graphs the two lines to find the point of intersection and then...

Let's graph the amount of letters in everyone's name in the class. Give the two-page sheet to class members to collect letter data and then translate their data into a graph.

What is a little cake among friends? Given the relationship between the number of cupcakes five friends have, pupils create a bar graph. The learners answer questions about the graph and adjust the graph if one friend shares some of his...

Develop graphs by following the pattern. The resource provides opportunities for reviewing graphing linear equations. Pupils create tables to graph linear equations by using patterns whenever possible. The activity and video are part of...

Is the solution really the solution? Given a graph of a linear system, an informative video shows learners how to determine the solution as the point of intersection. The presenter verifies the solution as a solution to the system by...

What happens when equations are multiples of each other? Pupils see the process of solving a system of equations by graphing. The informative video example shows two equations written in different forms that are actually the same line....

Max out heart rates for males and females. Formulas of maximum heart rates provide the equations for a linear system. Pupils use the interactive to graph the equations for males and females and determine their points of intersection. The...

Sal teaches how to use graphing as a tool, not a hindrance, in this helpful video. His lecture would make be a good resource for your algebra class, particularly as the focus shifts to graphing problems and linear systems.

Introduce your first graders to the world of tally marks, bar graphs, and the organization of data. Pupils determine a favorite ice cream flavor based on tally marks, then use a bar graph to answer some questions about sports. There are...

Help kids understand how to collect data through surveys, organize data in a bar chart, then analyze their findings. There are three different surveys for learners to conduct, a full description of all the parts of a bar chart, and three...

Learners discover how to use bar graphs. They will gather and organize specific data in order to put it into a bar graph. Then they will answer several questions based on the information they have graphed.

In this graphing and data collection activity, students examine a bar chart that show data collected from 1998 - 2006 that shows the percentage of households that have Internet access. They answer questions based on the chart and make...

In this math worksheet, young scholars answer 7 questions having to do with graphing derivatives of functions, rectilinear motion, speed and distance.

There is more than one way to represent data! Learners explore ways to represent data. They examine stacked graphs, histograms, and line plots. They conduct surveys and use stacked graphs, histograms, or line plots to chart the data they...

Chocolate lovers develop a bar graph based on the types of chocolate the class likes. They participate in The Art of Chocolate at The Hershey Story before they make a bar graph that shows the favorite chocolate types of their class. They...

This is an outstanding presentation on graphs and statistics. Learners choose which type of graph is being shown, and also gain practice in the techniques used to find the mean, median, and mode of sets of numbers. Very good!

Second graders listen to and dicuss the story Where the Wild Things Are. They play a pantomime game and act out various feelings so their classmates can guess. They listen for the frequency of certain words, and record their findings on...

Introduce scholars to bar graphs and data analysis through analyzing these visual examples. First, they look at a pictograph of fruit types and answer five observation questions. There is one done for them as an example. Learners do the...

Challenge: Sketch a graph of a quadratic function without making a table of values. High schoolers learn how different parameters affect the graph of a quadratic function. The problem video focuses on dilations of quadratic graphs.

For beginners to picture graphs this is the perfect resource. They analyze two bar graphs that break down data visually so scholars can actually count the number in each column. For the first, they fill in how many of each type of pet is...
