Learners make origami frogs to race. After the race they measure the distance raced, collect the data, enter it into a chart. They then find the mean, median, and mode of the data. Next, students enter this data into Excel at which time...

Students explore lines, rays, line segments, and planes. In this math lesson, students discuss the math concepts and direct their instructor in graphing functions. Students collaborate in graphing additional functions.

Create a linear equation for a problem when the intercept information is not given. The two-day instructional activity introduces the class to the point-slope form, which can be used for problems when the initial conditions are not...

Create an understanding of solving problems that require more than one equation. The instructional activity introduces the concept of systems of linear equations by using a familiar situation of constant rate problems. Pupils compare the...

Explore logarithms and logarithmic regression. Young mathematicians first learn about inverse functions and about the logarithm function family. They take their newfound knowledge to use logarithmic functions to model situations and...

How can you model exponential decay? Explore different situations involving exponential decay functions and decreasing linear functions by performing activities with MandM candy, popcorn kernels, and number cubes.

Functions require an input in order to get an output, which explains why the answer always has at least two parts. After only three multi-part questions, the teacher can analyze pupils' strengths and weaknesses when it comes to...

It is not always easy to walk the straight and narrow. In the sixth portion of a nine-part unit, groups actively recreate a graph depicting motion. Individuals walk toward or away from a motion detector while trying to match a given...

Ideal for your electricity unit, especially with middle schoolers, this lesson plan gets engineers using multimeters in electrical circuits to explore the relationships among voltage, current, and resistance. Older learners may even plot...

Students describe graphically, algebraically and verbally real-world phenomena as functions; identify the independent and the dependent variable. They translate among graphic, algebraic, and verbal representations of relations and graph...

Students solve and graph linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students collect data and plot it to create a linear function. They identify the domain and range of each line.

Students identify different types of functions and units of measurements. In this statistics lesson, students will collect data, graph their data and make predictions about their data. They plot a linear regression graph.

Students write an equation for a linear function. In this algebra lesson, students collect data, plot it and graph it. They identify the equation of the graphed data and define the slope and y-intercept of the graph.

In this scatter plot worksheet, learners examine tables and write a linear equation that matches the table.  Students graph linear equations.  They read scatter plots, determine the trend line, and write a linear equation to...

Ninth graders review the information that they have already learned with regard to linear equations and graphical representations. They then assist in combining equations with a graphical element and complete various graphs with this...

High schoolers explore the concept of linear motion. In this linear motion instructional activity, students calculate distance and time in order to calculate average speed and velocity in the provided problems.

Solve problems using integration and derivatives. By using calculus, learners will analyze graphs to find the extrema and change in behavior. They then will identify the end behavior using the derivatives. Activities and handouts are...

Explore slope using geometric patterns. Young mathematicians investigate towers built from cubes to develop a linear pattern. They move the data to a coordinate plane to connect the pattern to slopes.

Young scholars solve and graph linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students collect and plot data on a coordinate plane. They use the CBL and TI calculator to graph systems of equation.

Students use their knowledge and understanding of equations of lines to explore independent and dependent variables. They determine how to isolate a variable and how to predict data points not represented in data.

Students investigate motion using a CBL. In this algebra lesson, students collect and graph data on a coordinate plane. They define and identify amplitude and period of conic graphs.

Using the scientific method, and bubble gum, learners conduct a motivating experiment. After conducting a series of tests involving bubble gum, they graph and analyze their results. This is the type of activity everyone loves.

If it's warm, they will come! Learners find a line of best fit to show a relationship between temperature and beach visitors. Previous lessons in the series showed pupils how to create and find associations in scatter plots. Now,...

Your learners analyze a table of real-life data in order to write an equation that best models the information. Exponential, quadratic, and linear rates of changes are all possibilities in this task.
