Students create graphs of circles. In this geometry lesson plan, students use Microsoft Excel to create graphs. They construct the graphs using paper and pencil as well as the computer.

Ninth graders view the film "Pay It Forward" and discuss what kind of public campaign is needed to move people to positive action. They consider different ways of presenting information (graphs, visual displays, etc.) as tools for...

Students develop a line graph based on distances that an RCX car drives in specified amounts of time. They then are given a specific amount of time for the car to drive and be asked to extrapolate the car's distance from the graph.

Students analyze the nutritional value of breakfast cereal in order to make an informed choice. They create a stem and leaf plot which analyzes the nutritional value of the cereal they eat on a regular basis. Students write a letter to...

Fifth graders investigate the concept of median, mode, and range using a simple model for display purposes. They examine different shaped crackers out of a box and identify the ones that occur the most. Then the calculations for the...

Students survey and dissect as many fish as possible. They count nematodes, cestodes and crustaceans on the fish, fill out autopsy reports, and transfer data to a chalkboard data table. Students graph the results of the entire class...

Students collect data on different events and word problems. In this algebra instructional activity, students use a table to organize their data. They graph their coordinate pairs on a coordinate plane and make predictions.

Eighth graders create a website using FrontPage. They use inserted forms to collect survey information and use Microsoft Excel and MS Word to create a presentation of the survey and the results.

First graders listen to the book "Mr. Betts and Mr. Potts" and examine the career of being a veterinarian. They categorize animals based on whether they could be house pets or not, develop a class pet graph, and list the various...

Students participate in a lesson designed to illustrate these concepts using simple materials. They use Science process skills to observe, measure, predict, make inferences, and communicate while completing the activity. Proper safety...

Students investigate motion using a CBL. For this algebra lesson, students collect and graph data on a coordinate plane. They define and identify amplitude and period of conic graphs.

Second graders graph data based on a class survey of their favorite breakfast foods. In this graphing lesson plan, 2nd graders take a class survey of their favorite breakfast foods. Then they take that data and put it into a computer...

Learners practice graphing relationships between variables by studying topics such as exponential growth and decay. They conduct a series of numerical experiments using a computer model and a variety of physical experiments using mold,...

Students experiment with graphing. In this graphing introduction lesson, students complete four activities: 1) a bar graph based on class birthdays 2) an estimation graph of the raisins in raisin bread 3) another estimation example with...

In this first part of a two-part lesson, learners track and record the sun's azimuth using a solar panel. They graph and analyze the data to identify relationships among the time of day, the altitude and azimuth of the sun, and the...

Students examine linear equations. In this functions and algebra lesson, students write equations in the slope-intercept form. They enter data in a graphing calculator, examine tables, and write linear equations to match the data.

Students draw an accurate geologic cross section by using a given data table. They relate the features of the cross section to geologic processes. Students then relate the characteristics of the bedrock to the architecture.

Students use a graphing calculator to examine the association between the data points and equation of a linear relationship. They write equations in slope- intercept form. Answer key included.

Students use a graphing calculator to examine the association between the data points and equation of a linear relationship. They write equations in standard form and then graph the equations using the slop-intercept form. Answer Key...

Every topic or subject has its own special jargon. Learners work on their math vocabulary as it relates to basic algebra terms. They define and identify function, functional notation, ordered pairs, rate of change, slope,...

Learners calculate rate of change and graph linear functions. In this algebra instructional activity students write linear functions, make a table of points and graph their data on a coordinate plane. They calculate the rate of change of...

Students research bird migration and build a bird house. In this bird lesson plan, students research the birds in their area and where they migrate to. They also build their own bird house and record data on what kinds of birds come to...

Students learn how to measure the diameter and circumference of a circle. In this circle lesson, students organize their data to create a graph. Students utilize their graph to make an inference about the slope of pi.

Students examine scatterplots and determine the equation of a line using the slope-intercept method. Students interpret graphs, draw inferences, and sketch a curve of best fit for the graph. Based upon patterns in the graphs, students...
