A guided lesson instructional activity reinforces pie graph skills using a given set of data. Each problem requires young mathematicians to create a circle graph using five colors, and to provide a key that goes along with the graph.

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...

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...

Limit the amount one forgets about limits. A mid-unit review lesson has individuals complete a learning exercise of problems on limits. They go over the meaning of limits, evaluate limits algebraically, use graphs and tables to find...

Catapult the class into the test. Released items from the free-response section of the 2006 AP® Statistics exam ask individuals to use statistics to figure out the best catapult for determining the accuracy of thermometers. The six...

Relations, and functions, and line tests, oh my! An instructional slideshow demonstrates the definitions of a relation, a function, and the domain and range of a relation. Viewers then learn how to use mappings and vertical...

Write, graph, and model all things linear and exponential. Building on the previous module in a nine-part Algebra I series, learners compare linear exponential modeling. They write equations, graph functions, and analyze key features.

Rigid motions are to congruence as what are to similarity? Investigate properties of rigid motions and define congruence in terms of rigid motions with the ninth chapter of a 10-part eighth grade workbook series. The...

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Bystander or upstander and advocate? Three lessons have high schoolers investigating data about bullying and school safety. Participants then learn how to take a stand against bullying and use what they have learned to create a PSA to...

An inventive lesson plan shows learners how to collect, organize, and present mathematical data. They access websites which lead them through a variety of ways to engage in data collection. They get to design and create graphs, and...

Graph linear equations using a table of values. Learners solve equations in two variables using standard form of an equation. They identify the relationship between x and y values.

Eighth and ninth graders solve and graph 24 different problems that include completing input/output tables and graphing the pairs. First, they find the missing values for each table and write the rule for x. Then, students write the...

Youngsters become flexible problem solvers with this challenging lesson. If there are 24 square tables in a restaurant, how many customers can be seated at one time? They can use manipulatives or draw pictures to help them find the...

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.

This assessment pair goes way beyond simple graphing, factoring and solving polynomial equations, really forcing learners to investigate the math ideas behind the calculations. Short and to-the-point questions build on one another,...

Middle and high schoolers collect and analyze data from four different activities. The activities include information about classmates, tallying colors of cars in a parking lot, stem and leaf plots, and making a histogram from...

Skeeters are used to model linear and exponential population growth in a wonderfully organized lesson plan including teachers' and students' notes, an assignment, graphs, tables, and equations. Filled with constant deep-reaching...

Raise the bar in your third grade class with this learning exercise on bar graphs. Youngsters view three graphs representing three different sets of data, and answer questions based on what they analyze. The first set is completed as an...

Practice graphing basic equations. Algebra learners complete a table showing values of x and y. They graph the results on a coordinate grid. There are six problems: three equations are linear, and three are quadratic. The "show your...

After watching a brief instructional video, young mathematicians are put to the test. By completing and reading frequency tables, tally charts, and bar graphs, individuals show their understanding of how to interpret data.

There's value in using a video to analyze a table of values. Pupils learn how to find the limit of a function from a table of values in the fourth of 18 lessons in Unit 1 - Limits and Continuity. An engaging video gives a tutorial on how...

Take a walk through time, 1852 to 2005, following the mathematical history, development, and solution of the Four-Color Theorem. Learners take on the role of cartographers to study a United States map that is to be...

The key is ... After a day of instruction on key features of graphs, groups create a poster and presentation on the key features of their given function graph. The resource provides an extension activity of "telephone" using...
