In this real-world example, algebra learners start to get a sense of how to represent the relationship between two variables in different ways. They start by looking at a partial table of values that define a linear relationship. They...

Frequency polygons are a different way to represent frequencies over intervals. Pupils take frequencies for intervals of data from a frequency table and plot them as a frequency polygon. Budding mathematicians find information about the...

Two for one—create an invertible and non-invertible function from the same data. The task presents a function table with missing outputs for the class to use to create two functions. One of the functions should have an inverse while the...

Will this water source support life? Small groups test the chemistry of the water drawn from two different sources. They then compare the collected data to acceptable levels to draw conclusions about the health of the source. The...

Middle and high schoolers complete and solve 12 various types of problems. First, they express the output as a function of the input in each table. Then, pupils evaluate for the given variable when the value is as stated. In addition,...

Love is in the air, and in a math table! Young learners chart the number of cards from each grade from least to greatest in three Valentine's Day word problems.

In this data analysis worksheet, students study the information on a data table about the hosts of Saturday Night Live. Students answer 8 problem solving questions about the table.

In this addition and subtraction table activity, students practice deciphering which skill would best help them solve the equation. The tables help illustrate the problem.

Students describe the life cycle of various bugs as well as their predators and feeding habits. The class participates in a discussion of the various methods scientists use to gather data including research and experiment. After...

In this frequency table worksheet, students create a frequency table from given data. They identify the mode. Students read and interpret frequency tables. This one-page worksheet contains 7 multi-step problems.

Students graph ordered pairs to model the relationship between numbers. After observing the patterns in ordered pairs, they describe the relationship, and create graphs from a data table. Students describe intervals in the graph, and...

Students explore the concept of cell phone plans. In this cell phone plan lesson, students research the cost of cell phones. Students compare various cell phone plans and decide on which phone plan is best for them.

Middle schoolers complete and solve five questions related to a box of Froot Loops cereal. First, they determine how many of each color of Froot Loops and which color has the greatest and least frequency. Then, pupils write the fraction...

In this Froot Loops to the max worksheet, young scholars complete and solve 5 problems related to a box of Froot Loops cereal. First, they determine how many of each color is represented in the box of Froot Loops. Then, students...

Rolling dice is a great way for your mathematicians to get a hands-on approach to probabilities. Use the chart to record whether they rolled a six during ten attempts. Calculate results individually (or in small groups) and then record...

Capture the engagement of your young mathematicians with a collaborative graphing activity. Using a deck of zoo animal picture cards, students select a picture from the deck, record the chosen animal on a graph,...

Math whizzes utilize spreadsheets to examine linear modeling. They roll marbles down a ramp from three different heights and measure how far they roll. They use Excel to record their data and create a plot of their data.

A well-designed, comprehensive, and attractive slide show supports direct instruction on how sonar and echolocation work. Contained within the slides are links to interactive websites and instructions for using apps on a mobile device to...

Learners interpret data from a three-dimensional array of current monitors to determine an overall pattern of water circulation. They hypothesize what effect an observed water circulation pattern might have on seamount fauna. A very...
