The fifth lesson of seven in the series outlines an in-depth analysis of the periodic table. After direct instruction, pupils take turns practicing in the group before beginning independent study. The assessments include a...

A great way to introduce the concepts of data collection, bar charts, and data analysis. Learners see how their teacher used the data from fifty of her friends to construct a bar chart showing their favorite toys.

In this home school support worksheet, 2nd graders, with a home support person, review the use of frequency tables to organize and display data. They make their own frequency table and read it with the support person.

Use these pre-made data sets to introduce kids to bar graphs and data analysis, and then have them take surveys on their own. There are 10 survey scenarios written out here, and scholars synthesize the results of each into a bar graph....

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...

Learners create different methods to analyze their data. In this algebra instructional activity, students differentiate between proportion and non-proportional graph. They use the TI-Navigator to create the graphs and move them around to...

Develop graphs by following the pattern. The resource provides opportunities for reviewing graphing linear equations. Pupils create tables to graph linear equations by using patterns whenever possible. The worksheet and video are part of...

Sixth graders compare and contrast bar and line graphs. Using a weather forecast of the area, 6th graders record the high and low temperatures in a table. Students determine and justify the most appropriate graph to display a given set...

In this linear function worksheet, students use tables to find the values of functions. They graph linear functions and explore the significance of the coordinates. This two-page worksheet contains 4 multi-step problems. Graph paper is...

Making money is important to teenagers. It is up to your apprentices to determine how much two wage earners make with their after school jobs. Participants work with a table, an equation, and a graph and compare the two workers to see...

Represent ratios using a variety of methods. Classmates combine the representations of ratios previously learned with the coordinate plane. Using ratio tables, equations, double number lines, and ordered pairs to represent...

There is more than one way to represent data! Learners explore ways to represent data. They examine stacked graphs, histograms, and line plots. They conduct surveys and use stacked graphs, histograms, or line plots to chart the data they...

Collect and graph data using Microsoft Excel with your math class. They will make predictions about the number of each colored candy in a bag of M&M's, then sort, classify, count, and record the actual data before using Excel to...

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.

Not all relationships with a pattern are proportional. Show your class why in the fourth installment of a 22-part series. The lesson builds upon previous parts and has pupils analyze tables to determine whether they represent a...

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...

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....

The 15th segment in a series of 22 uses examples that present proportional relationships with fractions. Pupils work through the problems and discover that the process is the same as it is with whole number values. Graphing the...

Graph a relationship to find out if it is proportional. The instructional activity introduces the criteria for determining whether a relationship is a proportional relationship based on its graph. Pupils graph relationships and determine...

Catapult the class into the test. Released items from the free-response section of the 2006 AP® Statistics exam ask individuals to use statistics to figure out the best catapult for determining the accuracy of thermometers. The six...

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Rigid motions are to congruence as what are to similarity? Investigate properties of rigid motions and define congruence in terms of rigid motions with the ninth chapter of a 10-part eighth grade workbook series. The...

Bystander or upstander and advocate? Three lessons have high schoolers investigating data about bullying and school safety. Participants then learn how to take a stand against bullying and use what they have learned to create a PSA to...

Ninth graders know how to solve a system of linear equations, but what happens when the system involves an exponential function? The instructional slideshow teaches viewers to determine solutions to systems of equations with linear...
