In this elapsed time learning exercise, students analyze a schedule of events at a picnic with the starting times listed. Students read and solve 6 problems in which the elapsed time is calculated.

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...

Use this probability and graphing activity to have your learners work with a partner to make a necklace out of Froot Loops. They record the cereal colors randomly chosen and strung, graph their data, then use a ratio formula to determine...

One-to-one means the answer is simple, right? Given four graphs, pupils use a vertical line to test each graph to find out if they are one-to-one. By using the resource, learners realize that not all one-to-one relations are functions....

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

Young scholars participate in graphing data.  In this graphing data lesson, students make a stem and leaf plot of their summer activities.  Young scholars create numerous graphs on poster boards.  Students discuss the...

In this data analysis worksheet, students interpret data in 5 problems involving graphs, tables, and scatterplots. Students construct 1 stem and leaf plot and find the mean, median, and mode of a data set.

In this tables and linear graphs worksheet, students examine linear functions.  They solve equations and graph them on a coordinate plane.  This four-page worksheet contains 8 multi-step problems.  Answers are provided on...

Students investigate different online tutorials as they study graphing. In this graphing lesson, students apply the concept of graphs cross curricular and use it to make predictions. They define the purpose and theories behind graphs.

Middle schoolers describe plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane. They solve functions on paper and using an online tool to plot points on a Cartesian coordinate plane creating lines and parabolas.

This assessment pair goes way beyond simple graphing, factoring and solving polynomial equations, really forcing learners to investigate the math ideas behind the calculations. Short and to-the-point questions build on one another,...

Take flight with a fun activity focused on graphing data on a coordinate plane. As learners study the data for Granny's hot-air balloon trip, including the time of day and the distance of the balloon from the ground, they practice...

Second graders listen to and dicuss the story Where the Wild Things Are. They play a pantomime game and act out various feelings so their classmates can guess. They listen for the frequency of certain words, and record their findings on...

Scholars learn what it means for a relation to be a function and see various representations of functions. After learning the definition, they participate in a card sorting activity classifying relations as functions or not.

What happens to a function whose graph is translated horizontally? Groups find out as they investigate the effects of addition and subtraction within a function. This nineteenth lesson plan in a 26-part series focuses on horizontal...

Discontinuities in the graph? No worries. Pupils investigate the limit of a function given graphically using an interactive. The graph has removable and jump discontinuities.

Skeeters are used to model linear and exponential population growth in a wonderfully organized lesson plan including teachers' and students' notes, an assignment, graphs, tables, and equations. Filled with constant deep-reaching...

Continue the study of transformations with an examination of horizontal stretches, shrinks, and reflections. Individuals use the same process used in parts one and two of this series to examine horizontal changes. The resource also...

Does the number of calories you eat affect the total time you sleep? Young mathematicians tackle this question by collecting their own data and making comparisons between others in the class through building scatter plots and regression...

This is a comprehensive lesson on creating and solving equations and systems of equations and inequalities. Problems range from basic linear equations to more complex systems of equations and inequalities based on a real-world examples....

What can we find out about the data from the way it is shaped? Looking at displays that are familiar from previous grades, the class forms meaningful conjectures based upon the context of the data. The introductory lesson to...
