Middle and high schoolers explore the concept of linear modelling.  In this linear modelling lesson, pupils find the line of best fit for life expectancy data of Canadians. They compare life expectancies of men and women, and find...

Young mathematicians explore the maximun area for patio with the added complexity of finding the mimimum cost for construction. First, they maximize the area of a yard given a limited amount of fence and  plot width v. area on a...

Students explore the changes in sea ice over several years. In this life science lesson plan, students review and examine 20 years of data. They use Excel to graph data and analyze trends.

Collect a variety of bivariate data. Groups determine sets of data that would provide a positive, negative, and no correlation. Team members gather their data through out the week. Scholars plot the data and determine the relationship...

Using rates from a rental car company, young mathematicians graph data, explore linear relationships, and discuss the role of slope and the y-intercept. This lesson allows for the discussion of independent and dependent variables, as...

Explore global temperatures from the comfort of your learning place! Meteorologists analyze surface temperatures and anomalies across different latitudes. Investigators evaluate graphs to find temperature differences and answer questions...

Learners design questions that can be answered by collecting data. In this line-plot lesson, pupils collect data and graph on a line plot on world records. An abundant supply of teacher support is provided in this resource.

Seventh graders graph ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. They create a scatterplot. Additionally, they determine the line of best fit and investigate the slope of the line. Multiple resources are provided. An excellent resource!

Carryout the lesson to determine the cost of pizza toppings from a Domino's Pizza® website while creating a linear model. Learners look through real data—and even create their own pizza—to determine the cost of each topping. They...

Young scholars collect data to create different types of graphs-line, pie, and bar graphs. They use StarOffice 6.0 to create graphs.

Learners conduct an experiment to study friction. They complete a KWL chart on friction and conduct an activity about the amount of friction on a moving object. To conclude, pupils create a table or graph of the data collected and they...

Sixth graders experiment with an atlatl and dart.  In this sixth grade data management mathematics lesson, 6th graders explore and determine the most suitable methods of displaying data collected from their experimentation with...

Students identify real graphs and misleading graphs. In this algebra instructional activity, students surf the Internet for real life scenarios where graphs are used in a misleading way as well as in a correct way.

In this statistics instructional activity, learners plot and graph their data, then interpret the data using the correct form of graphs. There are 3 detailed questions with an answer key.

In this atomic spectral lines worksheet, learners observe a diagram of the spectral lines, their different wavelengths and their intensity. They solve 4 problems which include interpreting the scale, matching up tabulated lines with the...

In this Algebra I worksheet, 9th graders analyze a problem in which basic assumptions must be made about cost and demand for the product or item.  Students use a graph to make predictions and determine the best price at which to...

Students explore graph theory.  In this geometry lesson,  graphs are used to solve problems in a variety of domains.  In this lesson the term graph refers to a collection of vertices and edges used to depict...

In this statistics worksheet, students examine and interpret pictographs and line graphs. Students analyze the provided data in order to create bar graphs, circle graphs, and box and whisker plots. The nine page worksheet accompanies a...

In this geography learning exercise, students use the climate data given to create a temperature line graph and rainfall bar graph for each of three locations given. Then they use an atlas to compare their graphs and draw conclusions...

High schoolers collect and graph data. In this statistics lesson, students analyze their plotted data using a scatter plot. They identify lines as having positive, negative or no correlation.

Students practice making charts and graphs from data on spreadsheets. Individually, they create a graph representing the latest information on voter registration. They answer questions and analyze the data to end the instructional...

Seventh graders review different types of graphs such as bar graphs, line graphs, box & whisker plots. As a class, they read a story and construct graphs to solve the data in the story. Students play "Graph Jeopardy" which requires...

Pupils engage in the practice of creating a scatter plot with the data obtained from measuring different resting heart rates. The data is used to create the table that is translated into a graph. The lesson plan gives instructions for...

Students find coordinate points on a grid and create a line graph with those points. This lesson should ideally be used during a unit on various types of graphs. They make and use coordinate systems to specify locations and to describe...
