Serve four towns with one bus route. Pupils develop a bus route that meets certain criteria to serve four towns. They determine which of the routes would best serve all of them. Individuals then hypothesize where a fifth town should be...

Ever wonder how long a pair of scissors are? Find out with this simple measuring activity in which pupils use the provided ruler to determine the length of four common classroom supplies.

Lesson 16 in the series of 28 is a mid-module assessment. Learners simplify expressions, write and solve equations, and write and solve inequalities. Most questions begin as word problems adding a critical thinking component to the...

Representing data is as easy as pie. Class members construct pie charts given a frequency table. Individuals then determine the size of the angles needed for each sector and interpret the size of sectors within the context of frequency....

In this circles and parabolas activity, students follow directions to draw parabolas. They fold paper to represent a parabola. Students also use straight lines to create a circle. This one page activity contains three multi-step...

Just how far off is the least squares line? Using a graphing calculator, individuals or pairs create residual plots in order to determine how well a best fit line models data. Three examples walk through the calculator procedure of...

Can your class write linear equations three different ways? Here is a study guide that includes slope-intercept, standard, and point-slope forms. Learners are given the slope and a point on the line, or two points and are asked to write...

What does a graph or equation say about a situation? Lots! The lesson uses the concepts explored in the previous four lessons in the series and applies them to problem solving situations. Learners create an equation from problems posed...

Whiskers are not just for cats! Pupils create box-and-whisker plots from given data sets. They analyze the data using the graphs as their guide.

Spruce up graphing practice with an activity that has young mathematicians plot points on a coordinate plane, and then connect the points to create a Christmas tree.

Learning how a bank account works is a useful tool. The exercise in the resource is to deduct rent from a checking account and create an equation from a description. Participants then graph the balance of the bank account versus months...

In this nonfiction sharing board worksheet, students complete questions about the books main idea, vocabulary, facts, connections. Students also graph information from the book, go beyond the text, and evaluate how they felt about the...

Some things are hard to resist. Small collaborative groups build circuits and calculate the voltage using Ohm's Law. Budding engineers explore the connection between the voltage across different resistors and linear...

The battle of the sexes? Scholars first examine data on hurricane-related deaths and create graphical displays. They then use the data and displays to consider whether hurricanes with female names result in more deaths than hurricanes...

Caffeine affects your heart rate — or does it? Learners study experimental design while conducting their own experiment. They collect heart rate data after drinking a caffeinated beverage, create a box plot, and draw conclusions....

In this math worksheet, students try to fit a line to a set of data. Then they use the least squares method is based on minimizing the sum of the squares of the errors.

An activity around linear equations, slope, and intercept is here for you. In it, young mathematicians engage in a whole-class activity while the teacher uses the overhead projector graphing calculator. This activity also focuses on...

For this consumer math worksheet, students use the web to research and select a stock to buy.  Students track and graph the stock’s activity over a two week period.  The one page worksheet contains a blank graph and four...

In this scatter plot worksheet, students write an equation for a line that would fit the given scatter plot. They create scatter plots from given information. This two-page worksheet contains eight problems.

Start this activity with a brief description of how to solve absolute value inequalities. A space is provided to help classify the inequalities into types (greater than, less than, or equal to) and for learners to show how to graph their...

In this prescription drug worksheet, students answer short answer questions and create graphs on the sales of prescription drugs over a five year span. Students complete six questions.

In this Hubble's law instructional activity, students use data for galaxies which include their distance and speed. Students make a graph to show the distance to each galaxy and the speed of each galaxy. They use their graph to answer 4...
