Students collect data and present it in a graph and/or a spreadsheet, depending on their previous understanding of technology.

Using the Cartesian coordinate system, future flight experts plot points to determine whether or not an airplane will fly. With the four forces of weight, lift, drag, and thrust represented in different quadrants, your physics learners...

Use tables, graphs, and substitution to solve systems of linear equations. An envelope of sample problems is passed around the classroom, and each learner has the opportunity to solve the system in the envelope. This is a great way to...

Students collect height versus time data of a bouncing ball using the CBR 2™ data collection device. Using a quadratic equation they graph scatter plots, graph and interpret a quadratic function, apply the vertex form of a quadratic...

What's the least number of colors needed to color a U.S. map? The lesson begins by having pupils view a video clip on continuous and discrete phenomenon, then launches into an activity reminiscent of Zeno's paradox. A separate video...

Make sure your house is warm in the winter. Pupils analyze graphs of heating costs for two similar houses and make hypotheses for why the costs differ. They then build models of houses with appropriate insulation to reduce heating costs.

If you could pick the color of your car, what would you choose? The lesson asks scholars to tally car colors and analyze the data they collect. They create a bar graph and calculate the measures of central tendancies. As a conclusion,...

Solve inverse functions through graphing and algebra. High schoolers will graph inverse functions and use the correct notation to write the equation. They observe a graph and write an equation for the function. In the end, they will be...

How does a cheetah life cycle differ from a human life cycle? Kids graph weight gain for humans versus cheetahs and compare other life cycle events such as gestation and life span

Learn about the animals of Australia with a language arts lesson about an Australian folktale called, Why Koala Has a Stumpy Tail. After reading the story as a class, kids discuss events and characters from the book, retell the...

Students solve systems of equation through graphing. In this algebra lesson, students solve linear equations and analyze the result to figure out if there is one solution, no solution or infinitely many solutions. They graph their lines...

Students explore the concept of climate. They use temperature and precipitation data from their area and other regions to construct climate graphs. These graphs are used to help identify factors that influence climate.

Third graders graph and analyze data relating to the book "Bunny Cakes" by Rosemary Wells. They listen to and discuss the book, vote on their favorite cake using Excel computer software, and discuss the results.

Learners complete an activity, included, of the information on asymptotes and intercepts. They also solve and complete eight questions on graphing rational functions, file included. Finally, pupils summarize vertical asymptotes,...

Students engage in the use of technology to investigate the mathematical concepts of probability and graphing. They use the skills of predicting an outcome to come up with reasonable possibilities. Students also practice using a...

Learners place pieces of candy on their coordinate graphs as the teacher calls out the colors and coordinates embedded in the plan. The teacher circulates around the class to check each student's answers for accuracy.

Learners investigate the graph of the absolute value function and the relationship between the parameters of the equation and the graph of the function.

Fourth graders graph metric tons of rice produced by various countries.  In this graphing lesson, 4th graders follow problem solving steps to answer questions about rice nutrition and then graph the amount of rice produced by...

Tenth graders graph and plot points on a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders define and review properties of a coordinate plane including quadrants, and axes. They graph after the review.

Students, using small individual bags of M&Ms, engage in activities including; estimating, sorting, graphing, mean, median, mode, fractions, percentage, and averaging.

Students collect live buoy data about water temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico from the Internet and work individually to organize their data and create a line graph using Excel Spreadsheet. Students analyze their data and examine any...

In this graphing solutions worksheet, 9th graders solve 13 various types of problems. First, they find the solution of each systems by graphing on the coordinate plane provided. Then, students solve each systems of equations...
