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...

Middle schoolers 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...

For this trigonometric graph worksheet learners describe the period, amplitude and vertical shift of given functions. They graph the trigonometric function. This four-page worksheet contains 16 multi-step problems.

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...
