Sixth graders inspect M&M's to complete statistical data. Students interpret percent of colors represented. They convert data from decimals, fractions, and percents. Using the data, 6th graders create a bar graph and a circle graph.

Create a Height-Time plot of a bouncing ball using a graphing calculator. Graph height as a function of time and identify the vertex form of a quadratic equation that is generated to describe the ball's motion. Finally, answer questions...

Teach young mathematicians the concepts of greater than, less than, and equal to with kinesthetic, visual, verbal, and numeric approaches. In a playful session that addresses multiple intelligences, your class will: dramatize a greedy...

Physical science starters play with a pendulum in order to experience periodicity. Detailed procedures and a worksheet are included for day one. For day two, learners will use a graphing calculator to help them plot orbit data from a...

Secondary learners investigate exponential functions in a real-world scenario. They collect data on the temperature of a cooling baked potato, enter the data into lists, and graph the data using a scatter plot before finding an...

High schoolers explore the concept of graphing figures from equations. In this graphing lesson, students use Microsoft Math to graph figures from equations and write equations from graphed figures.

Students graph non-linear equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students investigate different polynomial functions and their shapes. They identify the different powers and zeros.

Students graph and shade inequalities. In this algebra lesson, students graph inequalities using the slope-intercept form. They shade the side of the line that is the solution and identify the domain and range.

Students explore the graphing calculator feature on the Macintosh computer to explore some "parent" functions and their translations, combinations, and composites.

Fourth graders use data from volcanoes to organize a spreadsheet and make a graph.

Fifth graders use technology as assistance to collecting random data. Through the random data they will be able to explain the significance of getting a head or tail depending on what was previously landed on. They will then analyze the...

Students use coordinate graphs in order to identify objects and their locations. They are shown how to plot the x and y coordinates and then are given values to be plotted during guided and independent practice. Students are assessed on...

Students rewrite equations using algebraic symbols. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph linear equations using the slope and y intercept. They make predictions about their graphs and analyze the results.

Students analyze graphs. In this trigonometric instructional activity, students identify the different graphs of sine, cosine and tangent. They graph the inverse of those trig values and identify their properties such as phase shift and...

In this math worksheet, they investigate the polar graph of: r = a + b sin (t), for various values of a and b. This is called a limacon and is applied to the definition of a transformation.

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.

Fifth graders examine the importance of electricity to their everyday lives, practice plotting and interpreting data on a bar graph, and reflect in their journals about how their lives would change without electricity.

Pupils use their knowledge of the vertex form of a quadratic equation to graph parabolas using a graphing calculator, given a specific move to make. this lesson may be used as a review or as extra practice, in groups or individually.

Learners estimate and then count the number of each color of M&M's in their bag. In this mathematics lesson, students find the experimental probability of selecting each color from the bag. Learners create pictographs and bar graphs...

First graders measure the length of pipe cleaners to form worms using rulers to focus on inches. They record their results and graph the measurement of each pipe cleaner. They measure their pipe cleaner "worms" in various colors and...

Students collect and graph data. In this statistics lesson, students analyze data using a spreadsheet program. They display their data effectively and analyze it.

Fifth graders take addition timed tests every day for a two week period. Using the data from the timed tests, they create a bar graph using Microsoft Excel computer software, a personal bar graph using graph paper and colored pencils,...

Pupils discuss the job of an archaeologist by determining how people have used their environment. Using a graph, they analyze the patterns and functions of Native Americans in Arizona using maize. They work together to answer questions...

Students examine a graph made by archaeologists. In groups, they discuss the role of the size of the animals and how that affects the graph. They compare and contrast the size of animals killed by people 10,000 years ago and 8000 years...
