Am I making any money? Help learners determine if their fictitious soda stand is turning a profit. They graph linear equations using the slope and y-intercept and identify the best price to use to sell soda. They identify the domain and...

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.

Time to move on to nonlinear functions. Scholars create input/output tables and use these to graph simple nonlinear functions. They calculate rates of change to distinguish between linear and nonlinear functions.

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...

Seventh graders identify the quadrants and axis of a coordinate plane. In this algebra lesson, 7th graders discover the correct way to graph using the coordinate plane. They discuss the relationship between x and y values, domain and...

Learners collect and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, pupils create a liner model of their data and analyze it using central tendencies. They find the linear regression using a spreadsheet.

Students investigate linear equations using the Ti-Calculator. In this algebra lesson, students graph lines and identify the different quadrants on a coordinate plane. They identify ordered pairs used to plot lines.

Before graphing and finding distances, learners investigate the coordinate plane and look at patterns related to plotted points. Points are plotted and the goal is to look at the horizontal and vertical distances between coordinates and...

Middle schoolers construct polygons by plotting points on a coordinate plane. Pupils connect the points and identify which polygons they have drawn. They will need graph paper to carry out the assigned activities. A vocabulary list,...

Learners perform translations and reflections. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI calculator to graph functions. They move the functions around on the coordinate plane using translation and reflection.

Learners map their playground as if it were an archeological site. They locate objects on the playground and determine their location using coordinate points. A related lesson is Coordinate Grid: Mapping an Archeological Site.

An engaging, and not to mention attractive, lesson plan has prealgebra and beginning algebra scholars examining linear relationships. They consider the rising water level as a swimming pool is being filled. They do so by charting and...

Students watch the teacher model the dissection then in pairs, they dissect an owl pellet and identify its contents. They record the data about its prey on a graph.

Students create a spreadsheet using ICT. In this algebra lesson, students collect and graph their data using a spreadsheet. They find solution to a given problem using trial and error.

Tune in for savings! Scholars investigate pricing schemes for two different online music download sites. After comparing the two, they determine the numbers of songs for which each site would be cheaper.

Pupils measure an area given a yardstick. They also convert inches into a fractions of a foot and use data to create a linear graph.

Eighth graders experiment with building bridges of spaghetti, pennies, and a cup to determine how varying the number of spagetti pieces affects the strength of the bridge. They graph their results and interpret the data.

Young scholars factor and solve quadratic equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students identify the domain and range of the quadratic function. They graph the parabola and identify the vertex.

Young scholars calculate the maximum and minimum of each function. In this algebra lesson plan, students collect and graph data to analyze it. They differentiate between the absolute max and min and the maxima and minima of each function.

Students investigate the concept of lung capacity. They use flow meters to measure the maximum capacity of themselves and others. The data is collected in order to make some conclusions concerning the mean of individual lung capacity....

Eighth graders experiment with M&M's and a cup attached to a spring to to simulate a bungee jump. They graph the results of the experiment and make predictions for continuing the experiment. They determine the "line of best fit."

Students investigate the nervous system and how physical distractions influence mental performance. They work in pairs as a researcher and subject and memorize a series of words with no distractions. After repeating the list of words,...
