Students research the solar cycle. For this Science lesson, students use the internet to investigate the solar cycle. Students produce a spreadsheet and graph from the information collected.

Learners explore quadratic equations in this Algebra II lesson. They investigate families of quadratic functions by graphing the parent function and family members on the same graph. Additionally, they write the equation of the parabola...

Young scholars investigate graphing.  In this bar graph lesson, students view an informational website about graphing, then construct a class birthday bar graph outside with sidewalk chalk. Young scholars choose a survey topic, then...

Students graph linear and exponential equations. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between linear and exponential equations. They relate it to the real world.

Learners investigate quadratic equations as they use a CBR to collect and analyze data regarding a bouncing ball. Pupils explore different methods for determining the equation of the parabolic path including quadratic regression and...

Students collect, graph and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, students measure the heart beat of a person as they listen to music. They use the CBL and TI to create a graph, analyzing the outcome.

Students create models to represent both linear and quadratic equations.  In this algebra lesson, students collect data from the real world and analyze it. They graph and differentiate between the two types.

Students decide as a class what their data is going to be to graph. In this math lesson, students organize data so that it will be easier to display in a graph. Students are guided through the process by their teachers, and helped with...

Fifth graders study how to measure distance.  In this graphing motion lesson students complete a lab activity that shows them on the computer how to make graphs. 

Students observe and measure a model of slow down slope movement.  For this graphing lesson students collect, record, and organize data that apply to models.   

Students place a peat pot in water to observe and calculate the rate of capillarity in a model of a soil. This task assesses students' abilities to make simple observations, collect, record, and represent data, use a data table to...

Sixth graders study friction and drag. For this science lesson, 6th graders use different models of gliders and test to see which of the gliders fly the farthest. Students analyze their data and construct a graph.

Second graders use data to graph information and draw conclusions. For this lesson on data analysis, 2nd graders practice gathering, sorting, comparing, and graphing data. Students differentiate data that can and cannot change over time.

Learners conduct research on historical population changes in the U.S. They conduct Internet research on the Historical Census Data Browser, create a bar graph and data table using a spreadsheet program, and display and interpret their...

Explore politics by analyzing the voting process. Pupils discuss the purpose of casting votes in an election, then examine graphs based on the data from a previously held election's turnout. The lesson concludes as they answer study...

M&M's are always a great manipulative to use when teaching math. In this graphing lesson plan, learners predict how many of each color of M & M's there are. They count up each color and plug the data into a graph using the...

With so much talent in the classroom, do your musicians and athletes have related interests? This problem has your learners taking data from their classmates to decide whether there is an association between the two activities. The...

Students explore hurricanes.  In this weather data interpretation instructional activity, students draw conclusions about the impact of Hurricane Floyd as it related to weather conditions. Students read and interpret a tide data...

Help pupils see the world through the eyes of a mathematician. As they examine tide patterns, sound waves, and stock market patterns using trigonometric functions, learners create scatter plots and write best-fit functions. 

Sixth graders inspect M&M's to complete statistical data. Students interpret percent of colors represented. They convert data from decimals, fractions, and percents. Using the data, 6th graders create a bar graph and a circle graph.

As the reality of population decline across many species becomes real, pupils learn about the variables related to changes in populations. They complete a simulation of population changes and graph the results, then discuss limiting...
