We can mathematically model the path of a robot. Learners use parametric equations to find the location of a robot at a given time. They compare the paths of multiple robots looking for parallel and perpendicular relationships and...

In this parallel and perpendicular line instructional activity, students find equations of a line, then determine an equation of a line that is parallel or perpendicular to the original one. They graph problems and plot points. There are...

Ninth graders are investigating slope of a line. The line is plotted using the slope and points on a line. They also write an equation given the right information. The use of a PowerPoint is part of the presentation.

High schoolers explore map and plotting skills by tracing the movement s of hurricanes through the Earth's systems. a hurricane map is developed from daily media reports.

Students solve equations dealing with best fit lines. In this algebra lesson, students solve problems by analyzing data from a scatterplot, and define it as positive, negative or no correlation. They classify slopes the same way as...

Learners explore earthquakes. Using the National Earthquake Information Center website, students plot daily earthquakes on a map. They observe the magnitude of each earthquake. Learners identify the pattern of earthquake locations and...

Students graph linear http://www.lesson planplanet.com/review?id=180542equations. In this problem solving lesson plan, students calculate slope and plot ordered pairs on a coordinate grid. Using a real-life example of a walk-a-thon,...

Students explore seven basic story lines and apply these story lines to news articles in the New York Times. They write reports comparing the plot of a news article to novels, plays and movies with which they are familiar.

In this Of Mice and Men worksheet, high schoolers fill in a plot graphic organizer with details about characters, settings, and events in chapters 1-6 of the Steinbeck novel.

Students calculate the slope of a line. In this algebra lesson, students graph a line using the slope and y-intercepts. They define the steepness of the line using the slope.

Learners use a stopwatch to collect information for a scatterplot.   In this fastest legs lessons, students collect data through the taking of measurements, create and find a median number. Learners develop an equation and...

High schoolers investigate different types of correlation in this statistics lesson. They identify positive, negative and no correlation as it relates to their data. They then find the line of best fit for the plotted data.

Students are able to identify the characteristics of a variety of graphs (i.e. bar graph, line graph, pie graph, scatter plot, population pyramids, etc.) They recognize how the type of data to be presented plays a role in choosing the...

In this graphing and analyzing worksheet, 9th graders first state if each graph represents a linear or nonlinear relationship. Second, they create a difference table for each set of data presented and determine whether it represents a...

For this math activity, learners find the slope of four lines when they are drawn on a coordinate grid. Students are given the slope and draw the line for two lines. They use the slope formula to find slope when given two points on a...

Students calculate the slope of a line. In this slope instructional activity, students use a graph, an equation or two points to help them calculate the slope of a line. They differentiate between a slope of zero and an undefined slope.

For this matrices for data worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 29 various types of problems that include using matrices to illustrate data. First, they determine the sum, difference and scalar product for each matrices shown. Then,...

Using either data provided or data that has been collected, young mathematicians graph linear functions to best fit their scatterplot. They also analyze their data and make predicitons based on the data. This lesson is intended as a...
