Explore linear inequalities in a contextual situation. Using data from the first lesson of the series, groups graph linear inequalities to predict future shooting percentages. Their work focuses on defining regions and relating their...

Plant the data firmly on the graph. Given information about the growth rate of plants, pupils determine the heights at specific times and graph the data. Using the information, scholars determine whether a statement is true and support...

Predict outcomes using linear models. Young mathematicians strengthen their understanding of slope and linear models using a hands-on activity. They monitor the dissolving rate of bouillon cubes, graph their data, and make predictions...

Will Social Security still be around when you retire? Given data on the predicted balance of the social security fund over time, scholars plot the points on a coordinate grid and determine if a quadratic regression fits the data. They...

Smells like learning! Young scholars collect data on the length of time a stick of deodorant lasts. After modeling the data with a graph and function, they make predictions about deodorant use over time.

Determine how close the line is to the scatter plot. Clear video instruction shows how to plot a scatter plot and find the best fit line using the linear regression function on a calculator. Pupils use the information from the calculator...

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...

Go around and around with slope. The class investigates tornadoes by watching videos, building a homemade tornado, and performing research on the Storm Prediction Center website. Groups gather data and create scatter plots for twisters...

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...

In this geography worksheet, 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 about the...

In this line plot learning exercise, students create a line plot of given data. They identify the range, clusters, gaps, and outliers. This one-page learning exercise contains 8 multi-step problems.

Students use the tools of data analysis for managing information. They solve problems by generating, collecting, organizing, displaying histograms on bar graphs, circle graphs, line graphs, pictographs and charts. Students determine...

Young oceanographers take a look at sea level data from several cities over a few centuries. They use the data to fuel a discussion about what kind of changes are taking place and the impact they are having on the coastal ecosystems....

Students review the Cartesian plane and the process of plotting points. In groups, students create tables, identify the slope and y-intercept, and graph the equation. Afterward, students perform the same process, only, individually. As a...

In this interpreting graphs worksheet, students read a graph containing data of rainfall and temperature, then complete 18 questions, interpreting the data.

In this line graph activity, students analyze the data on a graph about toy-related injuries by year. Students solve 5 problems in which the change in injuries per year is calculated and recorded on a table.

This basic handout would be good for skills practice or a review of parallel and perpendicular lines. Review the definitions, then practice writing equations of lines that pass through a specific point and are either parallel or...

Students poll classmates to gather information for a graph. They identify three types of graphs (bar, line, table). Students create each type of graph using data gathered from classmates.

Here is a functions worksheet in which learners solve functions containing variables, graph the coordinates, and answer two questions about it. They complete 14 functions.

Review the form of a quadratic function, and the parabola it creates. Continue on with the whole group to work through a mini-lab, practicing how to graph quadratic equations with one variable. The goal of this lesson is for the group...

Seventh graders investigate the concept of looking at the data put in a variety of ways that could include graphs or data sets. They analyze data critically in order to formulate some sound conclusions based on real data. Students graph...

In this math worksheet, students look for the data to fill the line graph. They plot the data using the x and y axis to represent the correct categories.

Students explore the concept of linear regression. For this linear regression lesson, students find the line of best fit for a set of data pertaining to a frog population. Students use their line of best fit to predict the frog...

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