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

Young scholars 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.

Students 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. 

Young scholars determine the exact relationship between the height from which a ball is dropped and the distance that it rebounds.

Pupils explore quadratic functions in this algebra lesson. They investigate transformation of quadratic functions using the TI calculator. They use the vertex form for this lesson.

Young scholars practice solving systems of linear equations using the substitution and elimination methods. They determine if the system has one, infinite or no solution. Students also graph the linear equations.

Research data analysis by creating charts in class. Define the differences between an "average" and "range" while examining measurement data based on student height. Utilize computer software to create a height graph which is shared with...

Math language? Set notation is used in mathematics to communicate a process and that the same process can be represented as computer code. The concept to the loop in computer code models the approach pupils take when creating a solution...

Here is a simple, yet clever lesson on how to teach the important concepts of greater than, less than, and equal to. Pupils write their names down on grid paper - one letter per box. They compare their names and find a name that is...

Students study Greek literature. In this Greek tragedies lesson, students explore the dance-dramas of Martha Graham. Students study the choreography that brings ancient Greek literature to life.

In a instructional activity that integrates history and mathematics, class members create graphs that compare military death statistics from World War I with those that resulted from the influenza pandemic of 1918.

How many ways can you represent solutions to an equation? Guide your class through the process of solving equations and representing solutions. Solutions are described in words, as a solution set, and graphed on a number line....

Students analyze and interpret graphs. In this graphing lesson, students view a video and construct their own graphs (line, circle, bar) from given sets of data. 

Students look at data in graphs with missing labels and use what they know about graphs to label the topics, titles, and axes of the graph. For this graph lesson plan, students pretend they are news reporters and have to fix their stories!

Fourth graders study different types of graphs as a means of displaying information. They survey others to find their favorite Thanksgiving food and then graph the results using different types of graphs.

Pupils review and analyze graphs and tables as a group. They develop their graph and data analysis skills by converting data tables from Human Activity and the Environment into graphs.

Fifth graders collect temperature readings over a period of time, enter the information into a spreadsheet and choose the appropriate graph to display the results.

Seventh graders create a graph of their Christmas gifts. They develop categories, compute fractional and decimal parts for each category, identify the number of degrees to represent each fractional part, and create a circle graph to...

Students in a college algebra class use graphs to solve inequalities. Using the coordinate graphing system, they represent the relationship between x and y intercepts. They practice solving equations with complex numbers and locate...

Students graph parabolas. In this problem solving parabolas lesson, students solve quadratic equations based as a scenario. Students discuss their graphs with their peers.

Students predict the outcome of a question and conduct a survey and record their findings on a bar graph.

Students explore a variety of functions. They recognize and describe functions and use linear functions to describe situations. Students find the domain and range of linear functions and graph rational expressions.

Students interpret graphs and research events to identify links between events in the world and the arrival and plight of immigrant groups. They discuss the myths about immigration.
