Sixth graders choose the appropriate graph to display collected data. They interview each other on what foods they eat. They also interview elders and find out what types of food they grew up eating. They create graphs to display the...

Young scholars find the frequency of a name in selected states by using the Internet. They input data into a spread sheet. They create a graph that illustrates the gathered information.

Students used collected data to distinguish what pets they have or would like to have. They correlate findings with appropriate technology--Excel. At the end of the lesson they tabulate a bar chart and present their findings to the class.

Learners examine the four quadrants of Cartesian coordinate plane. They play maze games and coordinate games to discover how to read and plot points on the plane. Students plot points on the coordinate plane and examine the ratio of...

Students calculate rate of change and graph linear functions. For this algebra lesson students write linear functions, make a table of points and graph their data on a coordinate plane. They calculate the rate of change of a graph.

Young scholars graph an equation without a table. In this algebra lesson, students are given rate or time and asked to graph a line at the starting rate. They use the slope intercept form to decipher the word problem and graph the line.

Learners use data from the Camouflage Game (played with red and green yarn caterpillars) to create a composite bar graph to display the collected data. They interpret the data and form a conclusion based on the graphs. Teachers may use...

Students use geometry to create art. In this geometric graphing and patterns instructional activity, students create a helix-a-graph by plotting points on a grid that follow a certain pattern and analyze the drawing they created.

Young scholars discover the total impact of milk on our society by graphing data.  In this statistics lesson, students discover the dirty and sometimes unhealthy road milk travels to get into our bodies.  Young scholars analyze...

Students graph and plot numbers and analyze their data. In this algebra lesson plan, students identify the different properties of a stem and leaf plot. They decide which type of graph to use when it comes time to analyze their data.

Students graph scenarios values by making a table. In this algebra activity, students rewrite word problems using algebraic symbols. They make a table of the data, make a graph and analyze the data to extrapolate.

Students graph linear equations. In this algebra lesson plan, students create tables from an equation and plot their points. They graph the equation using the slope and y-intercept. They rewrite word problems using linear equations to...

Students graph linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students draw out comic strips to represent the steps when solving linear equations. They rewrite the equation in the slope intercept form and use the slope and intercept to graph...

According to the resource graph, which costs more: peaches or plums? Algebra learners compare two proportional relationships and then throw in a banana. Leaving out the scale helps students become intuitive about graphing. 

Understanding how functions transform is a key concept in mathematics. This introductory lesson makes a strong connection between the function, table, and graph when exploring transformations. While the resource uses absolute value...

Students build and program a car to drive a specific challenge distance.They must at the end of the instructional activity, have the car that stops the closest to a challenge distance.

Show your class members that if they can graph a linear function, they can graph an absolute value function. Groups create an absolute value graph using a table, then entertain the idea of an absolute value function defined as two...

What happens to a function whose graph is translated horizontally? Groups find out as they investigate the effects of addition and subtraction within a function. This nineteenth instructional activity in a 26-part series focuses on...

Many organizations put on barbecues in order to make money. In a real-world math problem, the money allotted to purchase steak and chicken at this barbecue is only one hundred dollars. It is up to your potential chefs to figure out how...

Introduce your algebra learners to linear and quadratic functions. Learners compare the differences and relate them back to the equations and graphs. Lead your class to discussions on the properties of a function or a constant slope...

Examine the behavior of energy as water freezes and melts. An engaging activity provides a hands-on experience to learners. Collaborative groups collect data and analyze the graphs of the temperature of water as it freezes and then...

Explore the concept of mean, median, and mode with pupils. They estimate the length of a string or the number of M&M's in a jar. Then find the mean, median, and mode of the class' estimates.

More of a math lesson than physics or space science, high schoolers take a set of data and plot it on a log-log coordinate system. The write-up for day two was never completed, but day one, "Stars and Slopes," is complex and cohesive....

Texas Instruments and Glencoe/McGraw-Hill have put together a full lesson to help you instruct your math class. Using the textbook, a TI-83 calculator, and attached the PDF learners will solve systems of equations and state decimal...
