Beginning Modeling for Linear and Quadratic Data
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.

Point Graphs
Students experiment with point graphs. In this math instructional activity, students are divided into groups and perform an experiment to see how high a ball bounces, recording their results on a point graph. Students then answer...

Shaquille O'Neal Hand/Foot Span
Eighth graders measure foot length and hand span in this experiment to determine the ratio. They apply the ratio to determine Shaquille O'Neal's hand span if given his shoe size.

How Do They Relate? Linear Relationship
Students collect information and use a line to represent it. In this algebra activity, students investigate real world data to see if it makes a line. They graph the line comparing the relationship of the x axis with that of...

Track's Slippery Slope
Students graph data of sports figure running time using x-axis y-axis to find slope of trend line, mathematically find the interpolated and extrapolated values for data points. Using the information they make predictions.
