Students explore graphing. In this graphing lesson, students predict how many shoe eyelets are present in the classroom. Students count eyelets and work in groups to organize and chart the data collected. Students put all the data...

There are a number of activities here that look at representing data in different ways. One activity, has young data analysts conduct a class survey regarding a new radio station, summarize a data set, and use central tendencies to...

Help learners discover the unique characteristics of the tangent function. Working in teams, pupils create tables of values for different intervals of the tangent function. Through teamwork, they discover the periodicity, frequency, and...

Students investigate properties of circles. In this geometry activity, students differentiate between similarity and congruence as they observe polygons. They investigate properties of two and three dimensional shape.

Students investigate circle and bar graphs.  In this middle school mathematics lesson plan, students determine which kind of graph is suitable for a given situation and create circle and bar graphs.

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.

Students explore pi. In this circle measurement lesson plan, students define and identify radius, diameter, circumference, and perimeter. Students work in groups to measure several plastic lids and record their findings. Students compare...

What better way to learn graphing inequalities than through discovering your own method! Class members use a discovery approach to finding solutions to inequalities by following steps that lead them through the process and...

How much can you tell about a circle from its equation? This detailed lesson plan focuses on connecting equations and graphs of circles. Learners use equations to identify x- and y-intercepts, centers, and radii of circles. They also...

Pupils explore the concept of interpreting data. In this interpreting data lesson, students make a line plot of themselves according to the number of cubes they can hold in their hand. Pupils create their own data to graph and interpret....

Fifth and sixth graders practice working in pairs to determine whether they can walk with constant speed. They test themselves, collect their data, draw graphs with their data collected, manipulate the data, and then draw conclusions...

Expand on learners' understanding of quadratic-linear systems. Building on the graphic understanding developed in the previous instructional activity, pupils learn algebraic methods of solving the systems. 

Young scholars collect and analyze data. In this statistics lesson plan, students graph their data and make inferences from the collected data. They display their data using graphs, bar graphs, circles graphs and Venn diagrams.

Discover the relationship between tangent lines and the tangent function. Class members develop the idea of the tangent function using the unit circle. They create tables of values and explore the domain, range, and end behavior of...

Pupils collect, graph and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, students use circle, pie, bar and lines to represent data. They analyze the data and make predictions bases on the scatter plots created.

Students analyze graphs and make conclusions about climate change.  In this climates lesson students produce graphs and identify relationships between parameters.

Students read graphs and charts to interpret results. In this algebra lesson, students interpret bar, line and pictographs. They draw conclusions and make predicitons based on these charts.

Students explore circles.  In this geometry lesson, students explore the relationship between the circumference of a circle, the distance a ball travels, and the number of rotations the ball must make in order to travel a certain...

Define terminology related to a circle. Practice accuracy in measuring and then create a spreadsheet based on data collected from solving for parts of a circle. Groups can have fun analyzing their data as it relates to Pi.

Third graders research their genealogy. In this math instructional activity, 3rd graders collect data and create graphs and charts. A presentation of their findings is given.

Students analyze and identify visual symbols in everyday life and during a museum visit. In this visual symbol instructional activity, students study associated vocabulary such as analyze and interpret. They find and note attention...

More people, more garbage! Young environmentalists graph population growth against the amount of garbage generated per year and find a linear model that best fits the data. This is an older resource that could benefit from more recent...

Fifth graders collect temperature readings over a period of time, enter the information into a spreadsheet and choose the appropriate graph to display the results.

Need a real scenario to compare functions? This lesson has it all! Through application, individuals model using different types of functions. They analyze each in terms of the context using the key features of the graphs.
