Graphs
Examine different types of graphs as a means for analyzing data. Math scholars identify the type of graph from a series of data displays and then develop questions to match each one. Then, given a scatter plot of height versus age data,...

Graphing
So many methods and so little time! The efficient method of graphing a linear equation depends on what information the problem gives. Pupils learn three different methods of graphing linear equations. They graph equations using...

Graphs (2006)
When told to describe a line, do your pupils list its color, length, and which side is high or low? Use a activity that engages scholars to properly label line graphs. It then requests two applied reasoning answers.

Bar Graphs
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...

Every Line is a Graph of a Linear Equation
Challenge the class to determine the equation of a line. The 21st part in a 33-part series begins with a proof that every line is a graph of a linear equation. Pupils use that information to find the slope-intercept form of the equation...

Circle Graphs
Pie isn't just for eating! Scholars learn to create pie charts and circle graphs to represent data. Given raw data, learners determine the percent of the whole for each category and then figure out the degree of the circle that percent...

Single Bar Graphs: Hockey Teams
Raise the bar for hockey fans. Using data about favorite hockey teams, pupils build a bar graph. They use the information from the graph to make comparisons and solve one- and two-step problems.

Interpreting Graphs
Sixth graders interpret linear and nonlinear graphs. They create graphs based on a problem set. Next, they represent quantitive relationships on a graph and write a story related to graphing.

Line Graphs
Some data just doesn't follow a straight path. Learners use line graphs to represent data that changes over time. They use the graphs to analyze the data and make conclusions.
