How long do we have to wait? Given several days of times between eruptions of Old Faithful, learners create a graphical representation for two days. Groups combine their data to determine an appropriate wait time between eruptions.

Scholars apply knowledge learned over their high school math courses in order to determine their college readiness. The 20-page resource emphasizes applied problem solving.

Assign an interactive poster activity to assess your class's knowledge and skill concerning data analysis. The teacher reference provides solid questions to ask individuals or groups as they complete their posters.

Pupils determine the pattern in collinear points in order to determine the next point in a sequence. Using the definition of slope, they practice using the slope formula, and finish the activity with three different ways to...

Perform an activity on performance testing with a lesson focused on the purpose of wheel bearings on skateboards. Learners conduct performance testing on a skateboard to collect and interpret data.

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.

Identify the slope of a linear equation in this algebra lesson plan. Middle schoolers graph linear equations using slopes and intercepts. They identify the slope as being positive, negative, no slope, or undefined.

Students explore the concept of slope.  In this Algebra I lesson, students investigate the definition of slope as rise over run or change in y compared to change in x.  The lesson includes a real-world problem in which the...

Read through the extensive background information and then lead your geology or physical oceanography class through an investigation of actual temperature anomaly data from the Juan de Fuca ridge. They translate the data onto a plot,...

Learners 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.

In this trends in the periodic table worksheet, high schoolers plot the ionization energy vs. atomic number and they plot atomic radius vs. atomic number of the first 20 elements. Students analyze their graphs and answer questions about...

In this linear equations worksheet, learners solve 24 short answer problems about slope. Students find the slope of a line given a table, graph, two points, and the intercepts.

For this Algebra I worksheet, 9th graders use the slope and y-intercept to graph a linear equation and fill in a table with the coordinates of the five points plotted.  The seven page worksheet contains fourteen problems. ...

Students identify the axes, quadrants of the coordinate plane and plot points on the plane. They take notes on the coordinate plane. Students and teacher go over examples of the coordinate plane. As an independent practice students...

Students examine the path a satellite follows as it orbits the earth. In this space science lesson plan, students use a globe as they illustrate a satellite in its orbital plane, then plot points on the satellite's path on the globe to...

Students solve systems of equation through graphing. In this algebra lesson, students solve linear equations and analyze the result to figure out if there is one solution, no solution or infinitely many solutions. They graph their lines...

Students examine the differences between standard and non-standard English and use text-speak to rewrite a plot summary and a news story. They identify a type of non-standard English and determine the characteristics that make it...

In this gases worksheet, students read about the Kelvin scale of temperature, they answer 3 fill in the blank questions about the relationship between temperature and pressure and they plot the temperature and pressure of gas samples at...

Learn how to identify the diameter and circumference of a circle. Then, collect data on a circle and relate it to the diameter and circumference of a circle. Last, plot data and find the line of best fit.

In this thermometric titration activity, learners investigate the temperature changes when an acid neutralizes an alkali. High schoolers graph their results from the titration and draw the two best-fit lines on their graph. Where the...

Statisticians take things to new heights using a set of height measurements. Students use TI-82 or TI-83 calculators to determine extreme values and the median for the data. They also construct a box-and-whisker plot to summarize the...

In this Earth's rotation and day length worksheet, students are given a table with the period of geological time, the age of the Earth and the total days per year. Students calculate the number of hours per day in each geological era,...

Learners investigate the differences between linear and exponential models.  In this linear and exponential models lesson, students make a table of given data.  Learners determine if the data is linear or exponential by...

In this Algebra I worksheet, 9th graders write the equation of a line given the slope and the y-intercept and determine the equation of a line given the graph.  The five page worksheet contains twenty-eight problems.  Answers...
