Eighth graders explore the coordinate system. They identify the x and y-axis, parts of the coordinate plane, and discuss the process of plotting points. To emphasize the process of plotting points, 8th graders play an ordered pair...

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

Students identify the parts of an engine using a graph. For this statistics lesson, students make a graph from their collected data. They calculate the volume of a cylinder using a line of regression and a scatter plot.

Students explore the concept of statistical data. In this statistical data lesson, students read an article about the dangers of peanut butter to those who are allergic. Students perform a taste test of two different brands of peanut...

Fifth graders construct graphs. For this graphing lesson, 5th graders learn about various types of graphs such as bar, line, circle, picture and stem and leaf plot. Students work in groups to create examples of each graph.

Students experience graphing points.  In this graphing points lesson plan, students play an on-line game where they must name 10 coordinate pairs correctly.  Students play a maze game where they maneuver a robot using...

Students graph integers on a number line. In this integers lesson, students create a colored foldable to assist them with notetaking and problem solving.  Students complete exercises from text.

Students discover coordinates as they explore Chicago. In this math lesson plan, students give the coordinates of a point, plot a point, and use the coordinate system in locating places on a map.

Students examine American culture through research on various soap opera websites. They access a soap opera website, participate in a chat group, evaluate the contents of the website, and write a summary of a character and plot.

Students examine various comic strips for their elements of humour, plot, drawing style, and basic design; they then create their own comic strip.

Students complete multi-curricular activities in a Halloween themed lesson. In this Halloween lesson, students examine newspaper ads to find prices of pumpkins and use them to complete a stem and leaf plot. Students find the diameter,...
