Now create your own graph paper with this JavaScript programming activity! First, change the while loop that draws horizontal lines into a for loop. Then, add another for loop that draws the vertical lines. For an added challenge,...

Do big bodies make big brains? Let your learners decide whether there is an association between body weight and brain weight by putting the data from different animals into a scatterplot. They can remove any outliers and then make a line...

Challenge young mathematicians to buy classroom supplies by staying within the means of a $1,000 budget. The mathematical activity provides learners with the opportunity to decide what items from the supply list would benefit a class of...

Who knew quilting would be so mathematical? Introduce linear equations and graphing while working with the lines of pre-designed quilts. Use the parts of the design to calculate the slope of the linear segments. The project...

Here is a resource that helps your algebra learners understand the connection between the graph of two lines, the equations of lines, and the solutions and intersecting points of lines. It would make a great assessment question, but can...

Your mathematician's job is to explore the relationship between hours and miles walked during a walk-a-thon. The activity compels your learners to experiment with different means in finding out this proportional relationship. The answer...

Here you will find a model of a linear relationship between two quantities, the water depth of a channel and the distance across the channel at water level. The cross section of the channel is the shape of an isosceles trapezoid. The...

Introduce your algebra learners to linear and quadratic functions. Learners compare the differences and relate them back to the equations and graphs. Lead your class to discussions on the properties of a function or a constant slope...

What's so special about slope? Pupils first match cards with slope and y-intercept to graphs of linear equations. They continue the lesson by matching equations in slope-intercept form to the same graphs.

Learners analyze the difference between the slope intercept and standard forms of a line in this task. Given two general points using letters they explore linear functions and linear equations.

Similar to the game Battleship®, partners try and determine where the opponent buried their treasures on the hidden coordinate plane. Two types of planes are provided, one with only quadrant one and one with all four for a higher...

For this proof reading instructional activity, students find ten errors in a paragraph about Betsy Ross. They correct the errors using standard editing symbols.

For this editing activity, learners read and edit a short passage entitled, "Alaska, the 49th State." Students look for 10 errors in capitalization, punctuation, spelling and/or grammar.

How many nurses does it take to support one doctor? A project-based activity asks learners to analyze state data to answer this question. Classes create polynomial functions from the data of doctors and nurses over a seven-year...

Are you tired of answers without understanding? Learners can give a correct response, but do they really understand the concept? Have young mathematicians think deeper about linear functions, angles, and formulas in algebra....

Your learners can approach this task algebraically, geometrically, or both. They analyze the building of a linear function given two points and expand the concrete approach to the abstract when they are asked to find the general form of...

A short tutorial explaining the linear equations of horizontal and vertical lines.

This activity uses Cabri Jr. to graph a line and show the equation of the line. The equations for oblique, horizontal and vertical lines are explored with emphasis on slope and y-intercept.

This site from the Richland Community College provides graphs of Functions offers loose definitions of many terms relative to the graphing of functions.

Find activities here for linear functions, slopes and regression lines. Use them for classroom work or individual assignments.

A survey of math graphing techniques includes horizontal and vertical shifts, stretching, lines of symmetry, even and odd functions, and absolute value functions.

Practice using your graphing calculator for drawing and labeling points, lines, planes, and angles. If you get stumped or if you would like to check your work, then select the View Solution button, which is located directly under each...

A function is a relation that assigns exactly one value of the dependent variable to each value of the independent variable. When a function is graphed, a vertical line can pass through the graph and touch only one point.

Math and geography are the focus of this internet investigation. Learners must plan a road trip to several cities and plot the elevations of those cities using a line graph. Acrobat Reader required.
