Challenge young mathematicians to buy classroom supplies by staying within the means of a $1,000 budget. The mathematical activity provides learners with the opportunity to decide what items from the supply list would benefit a class of...

Sixth and seventh graders compare and order integers. After locating integers in a newspaper, they describe examples of negative and positive integers. They draw a thermometer and locate positive and negative integers on the scale. In...

Is the inverse a function? Scholars learn how to examine a function to answer this question. Using an online interactive, they examine the properties of inverse functions to compare to the original function.

Class members investigate how positive and negative numbers are useful in the real world. Individuals first read a short passage and identify terms indicating positive and negative numbers. They consider situations involving positive...

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...

Students graph inequalities on a number line and discuss how to solve for one variable. The teacher models examples as students take notes. In groups, students participate in an activity to demonstrate inequalities on a number line. ...

Two of the best words any one can hear– treasure hunt! Your class will be excited to practice graphing on a coordinate grraph as they identify and write coordinates for landmarks they see on a treasure map. They trace their route to the...

Students plot points on a coordinate plane. They describe, in words, methods for finding the slope of a line. After given a worksheet, students read instructions, draw a Cartesian plane, plot ordered pairs, and graph lines. Papers are...

Young scholars analyze data related to amusement parks and create a spreadsheet to display the data. They read the data and predict which amusement park they think is safer, create a spreadsheet and graph, and write a proposal based on...

Students graph an equation and analyze the data. For this algebra lesson, students graph scatter plots and identify the line of best fit using positive correlation, negative correlation an d no correlation. They apply their data analysis...

Students gather data on top 10 highest grossing movies, and make a bar graph and a pictogram.

Young scholars plot functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane. They explore lines and parabolas. Students analyze graphs and answer questions about the information presented on the graph using an online program.

Students read graphs and charts to interpret results. In this algebra lesson, students interpret bar, line and pictographs. They draw conclusions and make predicitons based on these charts.

Your mathematician's job is to explore the relationship between hours and miles walked during a walk-a-thon. The activity compels your learners to experiment with different means in finding out this proportional relationship. The answer...

Get close up and personal with a drop of water to discover how the polarity of its molecules affect its behavior. Elementary hydrologists split and combine water droplets, and also compare them to drops of oil. Much neater than placing a...

In class, your emerging environmentalists construct dust catchers. They take them home for a week or two, and then bring them back into class to examine under a magnifier. From this activity, they learn what makes up dust and that...

Pupils summarize the data that is displayed and examine how bisphenol A behaves and how it contributes to diabetes. Learners also study an article and interpret line graphs.

Students determine the equipotential lines surrounding a charged object. In this physics lesson, students draw lines to identify areas. They relate the spacing of the field lines to the strength of the charge.

Students experiment with point graphs. In this math lesson, students are divided into groups and perform an experiment to see how high a ball bounces, recording their results on a point graph. Students then answer provided questions.

Students explore negative and positive integers on a number line. They review a newspaper to determine careers that use positive and negative integers. In groups, they read and answer questions on "Lifestyles of the Rich and...

Third graders display information in a graph, table, and chart. In this data lesson plan, 3rd graders look at graphs, tables, and charts, discuss their importance, and make their own.

Fourth graders study immigration. In this graphing instructional activity, 4th graders make a population graph of people who have immigrated to Indiana.

Students define the slope of the line, find the slope between any two points on the line, and allow them to name other areas where the slope is used. They explain why the slope is defined as the rise over the run.

Fourth graders, after listing the nine planets and their differences, choose one planet as their favorite. From the information acquired on each students favorite planet, they make a graph illustrating their favorites and then transform...
