Combine linear equations and a little creativity to produce a work of art. Math scholars create a design as they graph a list of linear equations. Their project results in a stained glass window pattern that they color.

Discover different patterns by making connections between a rational function and its graph. An engaging lesson plan asks scholars to explore the behavior of different rational functions. Groups discover a connection between the...

Students explore the concept of probability. They calculate the probability of an event happening and graph their results. Students determine the probability of winning a sweepstakes. They construct a bar graph to represent all the...

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

Students brainstorm for a survey question to ask classmates. They survey their classmates. They enter the results into a spreadsheet and create the best graph for the information. They share their graphs with the class.

Human graphs, anyone? Did you eat fruit today? What is your favorite costume? Have your K – 6 learners graph the responses. Early elementary grades may count and compare while upper grades compare responses of different groups or make...

Sixth graders explore the scientific method by conducting an in class experiment. In this scientific averages lesson, 6th graders discuss the concept of the scientific method, and define the different mathematical averages, mean, median...

Who knew there were so many fun educational opportunities featuring pasta? Scholars read a brief informational text about the history of pasta (note that "macaroni" is spelled two different ways, so address this if kids are reading...

Students 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 practice collecting and graphing data using interlocking cubes. In this graphing instructional activity, partners count cubes and graph them. They also use a meter stick to measure arm span and height then compare the results...

Learners explore the concept of central tendencies. For this central tendencies lesson, students sort M&M's or Skittles based on color. Learners graph their results. Students find the mean, median, and mode of their data.

Students create graphs of circles. In this geometry lesson, students use Microsoft Excel to create graphs. They construct the graphs using paper and pencil as well as the computer.

Students input data about the colors of their serving of M&M candies onto a spreadsheet. They create charts and graphs based on this information.

Students examine data to investigate the impact of lead shot pellets on waterfowl populations. They graph their findings and discover how lead in ingested by birds and poisons them. As an extension, students research legislation and...

Here is an excellent cross-curricular lesson plan. Learners relate multiplication to area by making a grid on graph paper, and then creating the same grid in real space outside in the school yard.

Elementary schoolers are arranged in pairs and view the video Math Works: Measurement: The Difference Between Perimeter and Area. They discuss any prior knowledge they have of the term perimeter and then brainstorm together what the...

Students explore weather instruments. In this weather lesson, students make rain gauges, anemometers, and barometers following the instructions given in the lesson. Students set up a weather station using their instruments and record and...

High schoolers determine the linear equations of the density of water and oil by collecting data on the mass of various volumes of each liquid. They construct scatter plots from the data and use these to write the linear equations for...

Students investigate the graphs of six trigonometric functions. They discover how changes in the equation of the basic function affect the graph of the function.

Second graders explore graphing. They count the number of pockets on their clothes and use Microsoft Excel to enter their data. Students create a class graph displaying their findings.

Students observe bird feeding and complete a tally and graphing activity for their observations. In this bird graphing lesson, students work in teams to observe bird feedings. Students complete a bird reporting sheet and collect data...

Students construct two dimensional models to illustrate squared numbers. In this geometry activity, students use graph paper and an x/y axis to build squares exponentially. Students identify powers and relationships between various...

Students investigate apples. In this reading comprehension lesson, students read a book about apples then compare and contrast, make graphs, distinguish between fact and fiction and work in groups. Students work in groups...

Students collect and organize data about themselves. In this data analysis lesson, students discuss their favorite calendar dates and explore ways to display the data.
