Graphs and Tables Lesson Plans

Students describe various graphs and tables for business reports. For this graphs and tables lesson plan, students do this in an ESL class.

Young scholars compare the differences between factory farming and sustainable farms. They incorporate math computation techniques and the use of graphs and tables to collect ten facts and/or opinions and at least 3 statistics (including percentages) regarding family farms and factory farms.

Sixth graders create and analyze a model of the solar system. They anaylze and interpret data from graphs and tables. Students use technology (CD-ROMs, Internet and multi-media) to gather and present information on a planet. They compare planetary distances.

Students, with the assistance of their Ti-84/Ti-83 Plus calculators, develop a foundation for the limiting process as well as estimate limits from graphs and tables of values. They view how a function behaves as the input approaches a particular value.

Students explore the concepts of solving systems of equations.  In this solving systems of equations lesson, students pass envelopes of sample problems around the classroom.  Students solve the system in the envelope, then pass it to the next person.  Students solv the systems in the envelopes using substitution, graphing, and tables.

Sixth graders survey their class and analyze data about favorite pizza toppings. They use graphs and tables to display survey data and use fractions, percents, and ratios to report results.

Sixth graders calculate the mean of various professional basketball players' statistics. They use the internet to retrieve information to analyze and interpret. They then chart this information using bar graphs and tables to share will other students.

Students, with the assistance of their TI-89 calculators, create graphs and tables of values for functions. They then utilize this graphical and numerical information to explore limits and solve equations in a variety of formats and designs.

First graders collect data, create a graph, and analyze information about the temperatures for a week using Graph Club Software. They answers questions on the worksheet using the bar graph and table that is on their screen.

Fifth graders study the use of tables, charts, and graphs as organizers for problem solving. They attempt different strategies for solving problems in direct instruction before completing guided practice work sheets applying the strategies. Finally, they complete a student practice work sheet solving problems using graphs and tables.
