Pupils investigate integrals and their relationship to velocity in this calculus lesson. They use the idea of a moving elevator to explore vertical motion and use the TI to help them create a visual.

Students play various games to help create a classroom community. In this name recognition lesson, students combine their name recognition skills with newly learned art and geometric vocabulary. First students discover vocabulary that...

Sixth graders complete several activities that involve coordinates and graph paper. They visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. Finally, 6th graders draw and label a coordinate...

Students produce a graph of favorite colors.  For this graphing lesson, students create a human graph based on their favorite color then the teacher transfers the data to a bar graph.  Students compare the lines on the graph...

Young scholars make their own puzzle grid that illustrates the number of sit-ups students in a gym class did in one minute, then they make a histogram for this same data. Then they title their graph and label the scales and axes and...

Students examine U.S. Census figures. In this urban centers lesson, students compare city populations across the span of 50 years. Students create line graphs based on the data.

Where did conic sections get their name? The equation and graph of a parabola are developed from the definition of the conic section. Teacher examples on graphing the equation and writing an equation from the graph round out the plan.

Time for a shift in thinking! Learners examine translations of linear functions. They use function notation to describe the translation and make connections to the graph.

Students demonstrate how to add positive integers. In this computation instructional activity, students read the book Less Than Zero and use a number line and counters to play an addition game using positive integers.

Students define patterns, relation and function. In this algebra lesson, students find the slope of a line and write equations of line. They model the slope using real life scenarios.

Seventh graders explore the concept of the slope of a line. They see how to determine the direction of the line. Also students are introduced to the slope intercept algebraic expression in conjunction with the rise/run.

Students create a timeline to represent state and national holidays. In this social studies lesson, students use colored popsicle sticks along a line drawn on a piece of paper to illustrate when holidays occur.

Students explore animal drawing.  In this cross curriculum drawing, photography,  and animals lesson, students combine computer drawing and freehand drawing to create an animal and its environment using a photograph of their...

Students work in teams to conduct short surveys of their classmates. They show their results using at least two different types of graphs. Students separate into teams and are asked that each team to choose something that they are...

Students review graphing and use processing skills to solve problems.

Students develop a strategy to win the game. Charlie Taylor is trying to get his engine built for the Wright Brothers before Charles Manly gets his done for Samuel Langley. The person who completes the most boxes is the person who gets...

Students will construct simple curves on graph paper by connecting a series of points between the vertical and horizontal axes. They share their designs and explain the patterns.

Students graph linear equations using intercepts, find y-intercept, find x-intercepts and graph linear equations that use horizontal and vertical lines.

Students use the point slope formula to calculate the slope and equation of a line. In this algebra lesson, students identify point on a coordinate plane using a robot. They differentiate between the different quadrants a they follow the...

Students analyze lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry in designs. They practice dividing a shape along its line(s) of symmetry and discuss the relationship between lines of symmetry and number of sides as well as rotations.

Students draw cross sections of given contour maps. In this math lesson, students interpret the different symbols used in the map. They determine slope and steepness through direct measurement.

Students differentiate between bar graphs, line graphs, pictographs and bar graphs. After participating in a hands-on cookie activity, students label and draw their own graphs.

Students study Piet Mondrian's artwork. In this visual arts lesson, students analyze the use of lines and colors by Mondrian in his art. Students create their artwork in the style of Mondrian.

In this parametric worksheet, students sketch given inequalities and use trigonometry functions to eliminate the parameters. They write equations of a line under given parameters. This four-page worksheet contains 11 multi-step problems.
