Application of Graph Theory

Take graphing outside and make a giant coordinate plane to plot your human points. Young graphers are each given a coordinate for a particular shape and asked to make the geometrical shapes one by one. Those not plotted are to write down...

Your Algebra learners will appreciate this fabulous, two-page printable. The first page has a list of numbers that lead to the learners writing an equation in a cloud that represents these numbers, and then filling in a table, and...

An MIT graduate student guides a classroom through fun activities that will introduce students to graph theory. The goal of these activities: find a route through a town without crossing the same path twice. Video is accompanied by a...

There is one bridge too many. A video presents the history of the Konigsberg Bridge problem. To solve the problem, Euler invented a new branch of mathematics—and graph theory was born. Using this new branch of mathematics, mathematicians...

We have calculators, so why do we have to do this by hand? The video takes viewers through graphing scientific data by hand to create a scatter plot. The process includes labeling axes, writing an appropriate title, determining a scale,...

How does the vertical line test help you decide if the graph of an equation is a function? The instructor draws a graph and then draws the line of the equation. She demonstrates how to use the vertical line test to determine if the graph...

This series of activities incorporates the concept of graph theory into the discrete mathematics classroom. Students work in a group to solve problems using graph theory.

Contains a clear explanation of the basic terminology of graph theory. The useful for a first introduction to graphs and graph theory.

Organize your data on a graph. Use the data, pair them up as coordinate pairs, then graph them, resulting in a scatter plot. But how, you ask? Watch this tutorial to learn the step-by-step process needed to draw a scatter plot and...

The instructor illustrates an approximate graph to plot the terms of this word problem. There are several parts on this graph that need to be identified before plotting. The instructor does a good job explaining the word problem as she...
