Students take a walk around the schoolyard looking at and identifying the trees. One leaf for each tree is collected. A chart is developed that represents the population of trees on the school ground. They keep journals and write an essay.

Learners are presented with the question: "Do longer legged people run faster than shorter legged people?" Students conduct an experiment, collect their data, create box and whisker plots using a computer and graphing program, and...

Pupils explore the concept of pyramids. They determine if two sides of a pyramid are perpendicular using a graphing calculator, then discuss parallel and perpendicular lines and how to determine if two lines are parallel or...

Third graders collect data about themselves and use in a line plot. In this analyzing data lesson, 3rd graders collect various sets of information,create a line plot and compare the data.  Students complete a worksheet on their...

In this distance worksheet, students solve 12 multiple choice, short answer, and graphing problems.  Students use the distance formula to find the distance between two points.

Third graders explore matter. In this physical science lesson, 3rd graders observe several items and use their five senses to describe their properties. Students record their observations and share with the class.

Using either data provided or data that has been collected, young mathematicians graph linear functions to best fit their scatterplot. They also analyze their data and make predicitons based on the data. This lesson is intended as a...

Fifth graders take addition timed tests every day for a two week period. Using the data from the timed tests, they create a bar graph using Microsoft Excel computer software, a personal bar graph using graph paper and colored pencils,...

Students investigate various games employing graphs as game boards.  In this game theory lesson, students problem solve through the use of graphs.  The lesson is a list of both indoor and outdoor games to...

Students discover how to employ number lines by estimating the number of tiles in a jar. After writing their estimates on sticky notes, they place them in order on a number line mat. Included in the lesson are various activities and...

In this scatter plots and line of best fit worksheet, students create scatter plots from given sets of data. They answer questions concerning the scatter plot. Students write the equation of a line, identify the type of correlation...

In this using data to make graphs  worksheet, students interactively answer 10 multiple choice questions then click to check their answers.

In this slope of a line worksheet, 9th graders solve and graph 10 different problems that include determining the slope of a line. First, they determine the slope of a line that contains two given points. Then, students determine the...

In this graphing worksheet, pupils graph quadratic functions. They identify the maximum and minimum value of the function, determine the line of symmetry, and locate the vertex. Coordinate planes are provided for each function. There are...

In this math worksheet, students create a horizontal bar graph. The bar graph includes eight lines going up and the numbers one through eight going across.

In this equations activity, students complete 13 multiple choice questions matching a graph in the coordinate plane to its equation and writing the equation of a line given two points or slope and a point.

Pupils build on previous experience with slope to investigate positive, negative, zero, and undefined slope. They complete a puzzle matching slope-intercept and standard forms of linear equations.

Solving systems by substitution can be a challenging topic in algebra I. Here is a lesson that builds on students' understanding of intercepts to begin the process of substitution, and all work is reinforced graphically to build...

Linear equations are all about form. The fifth part in a unit of nine works with the different equivalent forms of linear equations. Class members become familiar with each form by identifying key aspects, graphing, and converting...

Now that learners figured out how to solve for one variable, why not add another? The lesson demonstrates, through examples, how to solve a linear system using graphing, substitution, and elimination.

Show your class members that if they can graph a linear function, they can graph an absolute value function. Groups create an absolute value graph using a table, then entertain the idea of an absolute value function defined as two...

It is positive that how one performs on the first test relates to their performance on the second test. The three-question assessment has class members read and analyze a scatter plot of test scores. They must determine whether...

Create trigonometric functions from circles. The first lesson of the module begins by finding coordinates along a circular path created by a Ferris Wheel. As the lessons progress, pupils graph trigonometric functions and relate them to...

According to the resource graph, which costs more: peaches or plums? Algebra learners compare two proportional relationships and then throw in a banana. Leaving out the scale helps students become intuitive about graphing.
