Your algebra 2 learners show what they can do in this assessment activity on shifting, reflecting, and stretching graphs. Given the graphs of various functions, they write the represented equation.

Learners will have fun creating a parachute to collect data with. They will construct the parachute in small groups, measure the materials, and create an observation sheet. Then they drop the parachute and make predictions about how long...

Raise children's awareness about the importance of conservation with this hands-on science lesson. Start by breaking the class into groups and having them collect trash from around the school or local park. Students then use the provided...

Everyone knows giraffes have longer necks than humans, but how do our neck bones compare to theirs? Learners examine a human vertebrae X-ray, counting the bones and predicting how many might be in a giraffe neck. They use a research site...

Unlock the mystery behind seasonal change with a collection of worksheets and activities. Whether they are drawing pictures of Earth's orbit around the sun or graphing the temperature and daylight hours of different locations...

Introduce ecology classes to biodiversity and interdependence in ecosystems with a PowerPoint presentation. Then, they get up-close and personal with the invertebrate world by collecting insects, classifying them, and graphing their...

Your algebra learners discover that exponential functions, with a base larger than one, outgrow linear functions when the inputs increase sufficiently. Their analysis includes using a graphing calculator to produce tables.

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

Examine and compare a linear and step function. The task provides two scenarios, one modeled by a linear function and the other a step function. Pupils create a graph for each and explain how each compares to the other.

Graphically find the derivative of sin(x). Using the interactive, pupils graph the slope of the tangent line to the sine function. Class members use the resulting graph to determine the derivative of the sine function. They verify their...

A bouncing ball serves as more than entertainment when learning to apply quadratic functions to real-world events. This is the second of a two-part lesson, which can also be accessed from the website. The instructions say to measure the...

Parallel parking might be difficult, but finding parallel lines is fairly simple. In this lesson, learners first complete an assessment task involving parallel and perpendicular lines in the coordinate plane. Individuals then take part...

Create a shift in TV viewing habits. The interactive presents a cosine model of an individual's TV viewing habits during a year. Class members move the model to reflect given conditions. Finally, they determine key features from the...

To be used however fits your needs most, this data collection graph includes spaces to chart a years worth of data. Print, keep handy, and fill out as the target skill is performed.

Students explore the concept of piecewise functions. In this piecewise functions lesson, students graph piecewise functions by hand and find the domain and range. Students make tables of values given a piecewise function. Students write...

Stjudents examine the statistics in a Canadian publication for use in graphs. They develop their own questions based on tables and graphs found in this publication..

In this Scatter Diagrams and Curve Fitting worksheet, learners are guided in how to graph a scatter diagram (plot) and a Best Fit Line using a TI-83 graphing calculator. 

Learners calculate and graph the diving depths of various types of whales. They cut out and glue whale pictures on a worksheet to represent the diving depths for five whales, and discuss how people use graphs to communicate.

Young scholars measure, record, and graph the force of moving a block of wood along sand paper. In this friction lesson plan, students read a spring scale, collect data, construct a graph, and propose a model to explain how fiction works.

Everyone loves popcorn! Use this treat to teach math concepts including place value, estimating, graphing, and volume. Eight possible activities are included, and they can be modified to fit all grade levels. 

In this pie chart activity, students use the pie chart graph to count the money Adam made in the Bread Shop. Students complete 10 questions.

In this bar graph worksheet, students fill in a chart of who drove the furthest each day of the week based on a bar graph. Students complete the chart and answer 2 questions.

In this graphing worksheet, students read a graph, complete a chart about the information, and answer questions. There are fifteen questions in all.
