Functions model relationships between quantities. The Smarter Balanced sample items demonstrate the assessment strategies for eighth grade function modeling standards. Items range from constructing linear functions from a table and a...

Raise the bar in your third grade class with this learning exercise on bar graphs. Youngsters view three graphs representing three different sets of data, and answer questions based on what they analyze. The first set is completed as an...

What do guitars, candles, and helicopters have in common? They're all in this resource. Learners complete an assessment task to determine the amount of profit made in a guitar class based on given information regarding variable...

Find relationships between the structure of a function and its graph. An engaging lesson explores seven parent functions and their graphs. Learners match functions to their graphs and describe transformations.

Youngsters use a data table to answer questions, in a Valentine's Day-themed worksheet. 

A guided lesson instructional activity reinforces pie graph skills using a given set of data. Each problem requires young mathematicians to create a circle graph using five colors, and to provide a key that goes along with the graph.

After watching a brief instructional video, young mathematicians are put to the test. By completing and reading frequency tables, tally charts, and bar graphs, individuals show their understanding of how to interpret data.

In this math/nutrition instructional activity, the nutritional value of 3 snack foods is recorded on a data chart and represented on a bar graph. Students analyze and compare information, construct data charts and related bar graphs, and...

Double click that mouse because you just found an amazing lesson! This cross-curricular Ornithology lesson incorporates literature, writing, reading informational text, data collection, scientific inquiry, Internet research, art, and...

Students investigate linear functions. In this mathematics lesson, students plot points onto a graph by solving the equations y=x and y=mx+b by being given numbers for x and solving for y.

In this functions and integers worksheet, students combine positive and negative integers through addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. They complete function tables and graph the results of linear equations. This six-page...

Students explore energy production by participating in a class discussion. In this renewable energy lesson plan, students discuss the differences between solar, coal, wind and fossil fuel energy sources and why some are better for the...

Graph A goes with equation C, but table B. The short assessment task requires class members to match graphs with their corresponding tables, equations, and verbalized rules. Pupils then provide explanations on the process they used to...
