Young mathematicians explore transformations of graphs by graphing sets of functions on the same pair of axes. They use their graphs to determine the effect that the values of a and b in y = ax + b have on the graph of y = x.

Students are introduced to the concept of scatter plots after reviewing the various types of graphs. In groups, they analyze the type of information one can receive from a scatter plot and identify the relationship between the x and y...

Learners explore the concept of interpreting data. In this interpreting data lesson plan, students make a line plot of themselves according to the number of cubes they can hold in their hand. Learners create their own data to graph and...

Pupils collect and analyze data. In this statistics lesson plan, learners create a scatter plot from their collected data. They use, tables and graphs to analyze the data and mae decisions.

What's in a name? Pupils create a data set based on the number of letters in classmates' names. Each group then uses the data to create a visual representation, such as a histogram, circle graph, or stem-and-leaf plot.

Learners take turns shooting baskets and creating scatterplots based on the data. They create two graphs and look for possible correlation in the data for each graph.

Here is a classic activity used to introduce your class to the concept of probability and data collection. They will roll one die 30 times, then record and discuss the results. Great introduction, but too shallow to be considered a...

More people, more garbage! Young environmentalists graph population growth against the amount of garbage generated per year and find a linear model that best fits the data. This is an older resource that could benefit from more recent...

In this plotting worksheet, students plot given ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. After plotting each ordered pair, students connect line segments in consecutive order. Upon completion of the graphing exercise, students will have...

Middle and high schoolers use the slope intercept form to graph a line. In this algebra lesson, pupils rewrite equations from standard form to y-intercept form. They use the slope and y-intercept to graph a line without making a table of...

Have learners use math to prove they are sports stars! Assess a pupil's ability to create and analyze data using a variety of graphs. The class will be motivated by the association of math and basketball data.

In this algebra worksheet, students work with pairs of linear equations. Three problems ask students to determine if the given ordered pair is a solution of the system of equations. Students graph two systems to determine the solution.

In this algebra worksheet, learners solve and graph 10 linear inequalities. Students must remember to alter the inequality when the negative sign is on the variable.

In this math worksheet, students work with three dimensional graphing. The application problems include surface ships on maneuvers determining a submarine's course, helicopter travel, and proving that four points are coplanar. Students...

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...

Mathematics set notation can be represented through a computer program loop. Making the connection to a computer program loop helps pupils see the process that set notation describes. The activity allows for different types domain and...
