Find out what picture is hidden in this graph and work on coordinate graphing with this worksheet! Learners plot 66 ordered pair points on a Cartesian graph, then connect the dots to make a picture. This would work as an in-class...

Young scholars use data to make a tally chart and a line plot. They find the maximum, minimum, range, median, and mode of the data. Following the video portion of the lesson plan, students will visit a Web site to test their data...

Creating a definition may be easier than it sounds! Give your classes experience creating their own definition. Scholars examine the meaning of the compact-ness of a scatter plot and create their own definitions based on measurements. 

Pupils continue the study of ratios by creating ratios from a context. The contexts present more than two quantities, and scholars create contexts that match given ratios. 

Connect the dots on trigonometry with K'nex. Scholars use a K'nex model of a Ferris wheel to collect data points to plot on a height versus time graph. They'll then consider what type of function best models the data in the graph—and...

In this math instructional activity, students create an alien mask and practice graphing coordinate pairs. Students follow the directions to plot coordinates on an x and y axis. When they are finished students will see an alien face...

Learners draw pictures of two digit numbers to identify the greater value. In this math lesson plan, students plot two digit numbers on a number line and identify the greatest or lesser value. Learners use the greater than and less than...

Build upon and stack up data to get the complete picture. Using the applet, pupils build bar graphs. As the bar graph builds, the interactive graphically displays the mean, median, and mode. Learners finish by exploring the changes in...

It takes a lot of planning to achieve a random result! Learners compare results of random assignment, and conclude that random assignment allows results to be attributed to chance. They also realize the set of random means...

Students examine graphs to find the most appropriate for various kinds of data.  In this graphing lesson, student create bar, line and circle graphs.  Students create graphs electronically and manually interpreting the data.

Challenge young mathematicians' understanding of the coordinate plane with this series of skills practice worksheets. Offering 10 different exercises that involve identifying ordered pairs,...

A unique approach to reviewing number lines and how to locate different values on them, this worksheet poses several questions that require written answers rather than calculations. You could use this as a note-taking guide when teaching...

In this image processing worksheet, students use a matrix to solve ten problems. For the first six problems, students are guided to the answer by carefully sequenced questions. The final four problems require students to make a series of...

Eighth graders predict human population growth.  In this lesson plan, 8th graders discuss the length of time needed to double the human population, work in groups to chart population growth and predict population growth in the...

Middle schoolers graph data of sports figure running time using x-axis y-axis to find slope of trend line, mathematically find the interpolated and extrapolated values for data points. Using the information they make predictions.

Eighth graders study about precipitation and graph the information. They look for patterns in a scatter graph and make inferences based on what they see. They need to see a relationship between location and the amount of precipitation.

Dot plots and frequency tables are tools for displaying data in a more organized fashion. In this article, we review how to make dot plots and frequency tables.

Features a refresher course on dot plots with definitions and examples.

Students learn how to construct and interpret line plots. The lesson plan describes an activity that has students collect data, create line plots, and interpret and analyze the data.
