Young scholars brainstorm favorite things to do during the summer. They survey classmates to collect data, arrange it in a chart, and create graphs using ClarisWorks.

Tenth graders explore the angle relationships that exist when two lines intersect. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders estimate the measure of given angles and use their graphing calculator tools. Students use this knowledge to find...

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 plan is intended as a...

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...

Life isn't fair ... like inequalities. After first reviewing inequality symbols and how to read inequality statements, learners discover how to solve one-step inequalities and graph their solution sets.

Students explore basic connections between graphs, tables, and symbolic representations for lines, parabolas, inverse models, and exponential models. One of the primary goals of this instructional activity is to help students begin to...

Students graph lines in a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, students graph lines on a coordinate plane, and identify the slope. They classify the lines as parallel or perpendicular and write an equation of a given line.

Seeing how seeds grow into plants is such an enjoyable for students! They plant lima bean seeds and take pictures to record the growth of their plants. Students write in a journal to describe their daily observations of their plants, and...

Students explore the greenhouse effect. They set up a simplified model of the earth and the greenhouse effect. Students compare temperatures inside a jar to temperatures outside the jar. Pupils collect information and create a line...

Students graph linear equations on a Cartesian plane. After describing data tables and their use, students explore how the information from a table can be used to create a line graph. They discuss reasons for plotting a minimum of...

Middle schoolers explore the effects of a declining fossil fuel system would have on the world. They read the line graph and other information to answer questions about fossil fuels. Students use mathematics to analyze graphical data...

First graders observe how the first sentence of a story is read very slowly and can be read faster and with more expression. They then read the same book three times to become more familiar with the words in the book and then read it...

Each member of the class creates their own paper ruler. Using their ruler, kids walk around the room measuring the objects you've specified. Discuss how items should be measured to the 16th of an inch, the smallest unit on their ruler....

Begin by showing a six-minute video, Changing Planet: Rising Sea Level as an anticipatory set. Pupils draw a topographic map of a potato continent. Finally, they will visit NOAA's sea levels online map and NASA's carbon dioxide...

Fourth graders analyze the data in a bar graph, pictograph, line graph, and a chart/table and draw conclusions based on the data. They discuss each type of graph, write questions for each graph, and analyze the data as a class.

Students define terms and analyze data. In this statistics lesson plan, students plot their data using bar and line graphs. They analyze their data after they graph it and apply the results to the Great Depression.

Fourth graders discuss, describe and track weather by utilizing a variety of measurable quantities as temperature, wind speed, wind direction, cloud conditions and precipitation. They assess, through experiments and practicing, how to...

Students analyze and interpret graphs. In this graphing lesson, students view a video and construct their own graphs (line, circle, bar) from given sets of data. 

Students create spreadsheets and bar graphs based on results of survey of favorite holidays.

Students practice basic coordinate graphing and plotting points on the coordinate axis. In this geometry lesson, students are introduced to ordered pairs, and the x and y axis.

Students solve quadratic equations using graphs. In this algebra instructional activity, students factor quadratic equations and graph their answer. They discuss the shape of their graph based on the function.

Good things happen when algebra and geometry get together! Continue the exploration of coordinate geometry in the third lesson in the series. Pupils explore linear equations and describe the points of intersection with a given polygon as...

Fourth graders conduct surveys to collect data. They analyze and interpret the data, then determine which type of graph is appropriate for the data. Students use the data to make predictions, discover patterns and draw conclusions...

Students graph and analyze data using a spreadsheet.
