Back and forth, and back again. A presentation on harmonic motion would make a great backdrop for a directed instruction lesson in Honors Physics. It includes diagrams, formulas, graphs, and a few sample problems.

How do you combine linear and nonlinear functions? You piece them together! The lesson begins by analyzing given linear piecewise functions and then introduces nonlinear parts. Then the process is reversed to create graphs from given...

In this describing trends worksheet, learners read information about broadcast TV plus cable and satellite TV, observe an annual use of the media graph and describe the trends. Students also read a text about advertising, interpret a...

Students graph lines using the slope and y-intercept. In this algebra lesson, students create data using tables and equations. They use their data to make predictions and draw conclusion.

Explore slope using geometric patterns. Young mathematicians investigate towers built from cubes to develop a linear pattern. They move the data to a coordinate plane to connect the pattern to slopes.

In this limit of slopes worksheet, students compute the limit of slopes, find the slope of the secant line, and determine the slope of the tangent line. This one-page worksheet contains five multi-step problems.

Seventh graders investigate a series of triangles, looking for patterns and generalizing what they have found. They analyze the pattern data and organize it into a table and graph. Students identify the relationship and discover the rule...

Middle schoolers investigate the finding of a hypothesis and how it can be tested.For the experiment they will be using the concept of probability. Students design an experiment and test the hypothesis. Then the results are graphed...

In this graph functions worksheet, students complete several activities to help them graph functions. Students use the table and the graph to complete the questions. Students also answer two test prep questions.

Young scholars identify the line of best fit. In this statistics activity, students analyze graphs and plots to identify positive, negative or no correlation. They find the line of best fit for different scatter plots.

Learners are introduced to lines, rays, line segments and planes and study the differences between them. They also practice graphing lines, rays, line segments and planes

Students are introduced to significant figures and how to add, subtract, multiply and divide them. In a group, they practice plotting data points from a table to a graph and labeling all axes. They calculate the slope and y-intercept and...

Students create spreadsheets and bar graphs based on results of survey of favorite holidays.

Students observe, measure, and graph a model of slow down slope movement representing soil creep. This task assesses students' abilities to collect, record, and organize data, set up graph axes, plot data points, draw line graphs, apply...

Eighth graders use the data analyzer and motion detector to collect data and measure distances. They create topographic maps drawn to scale of a given setup and relate the concepts to the creation of historical ocean maps.

Learners graph and outline the path of a typhoon. In this algebra lesson, students measure the path of the typhoon and create a graph with their data. They analyze the data and make predictions.

Students graph and solve linear system of equations. In this algebra lesson, students use algebraic and graphing methods to solve their systems. They find the point of intersection for their solution and draw inference from their data.

Students collect "prairie insects" for data collection and analysis.

Students explore the effects of a declining fossil fuel system would have on the world. They read the line graph and other information to answer questions about fossil fuels. Students use mathematics to analyze graphical data and...

Students calculate the maximum and minimum of each function. In this algebra lesson, students collect and graph data to analyze it. They differentiate between the absolute max and min and the maxima and minima of each function.

Seventh graders investigate the concept of functions and how they are used in the context of the real world while identifying the dependent and independent variables. They graph relations and functions and find the zeros of functions....

Seventh graders measure and record temperature over a given time period. They compare the recorded temperatures to the 40-year recorded normal average temperatures for the same area. Students display and interpret their findings in a graph.

Students increase understanding of the drug issue and further develop skill in graphing.

Students record data, make observations, and share in experimentation and discussion of numerical experiments.
