Many university professors complain incoming scholars struggle with interpreting graphs. A skill builder offers three different types of exercises including calculating slope, interpreting graphs, and extrapolating outside the plotted...

When told to describe a line, do your pupils list its color, length, and which side is high or low? Use a activity that engages scholars to properly label line graphs. It then requests two applied reasoning answers.

The 15th segment in a series of 22 uses examples that present proportional relationships with fractions. Pupils work through the problems and discover that the process is the same as it is with whole number values. Graphing the...

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

Apply systems of inequalities to a real-world problem. Here, scholars learn to graph solutions to systems of linear inequalities. To finish the lesson, they solve a problem involving burgers and cheeseburgers using a system of inequalities.

Seventh graders simulate probability experiments. Using a graphing calculator, 7th graders design, conduct, and draw conclusions from simulations or probability experiments. Students construct frequency tables and compare the...

New Horizons began its journey to Pluto in 2006. Ten years later, it continues its mission. In that time, scholars have surely grown, but how much more will they grow by the time New Horizons reaches its destination? Find out with an...

Scholars decide which job to take based on the pay. They then research cars to potentially purchase and determine the total cost of the car. Finally, they calculate how long they would have to work to purchase the car along with how much...

Playing with matches (unlit, of course) becomes an engaging learning experience in this fun instructional unit. Teach pupils how to apply properties of exponential functions to solve problems. They differentiate between quadratic and...

Students examine a sample budget and categorize the entries as a group. Then in small groups they convert budget category totals to percents and degrees to make a circle graph related to a sample budget.

Define and identify the three basic forms of symmetry translation, rotation, and glides with your class. They cut out and arrange paper pattern blocks to illustrate symmetry, create a Cartesian graph, and design a rug with a symmetrical...

Trigonometry, art, and Valentine's Day come together in a creative activity about parametric equations. Learners calculate several equations before graphing them either by hand, on a graphic calculator, or Excel spreadsheet to curve...

Seven activities make up a collection of supplemental materials to reinforce graphing on a coordinate plane. Worksheet objectives include plotting coordinates within single and four quadrants, measuring straight and...

Students investigate the use of a graphing calculator in solving problems. In this algebra lesson, students solve polynomials problems using a calculator.

Using a data collection device to collect data regarding a bouncing ball, high schoolers use various features on graphing calculators to experiment with the parameters of the vertex form of the parabola and their effect on the shape of...

Take your kids on a tour of graphing rational functions. Using this TI lesson, high schoolers identify the end behavior of their functions. They find the domain and range, describe end behavior, and look at asymptotes and restrictions of...

Teach children how to make a multiplication table, and they'll be multiplying for life. Following this series of steps, young mathematicians learn to use patterns and the relationships between numbers to create...

Students are introduced to connecting graphing in a coordinate plane to making scatterplots on a graphing calculator. Working in pairs, they connect points plotted to make a sailboat and complete questions on a worksheet as well as plot...

Pupils explore how to use and interpret graphs. The graphs are pulled from a variety of sources, and the activities ask students to interpret graphs. They start this lesson with knowledge of what a graph is. Pupils also know how to...

Eighth graders work in pairs with a TI-73 graphing calculator to complete a multiple-choice review using the Classroom Performance System. Each team uses a remote unit to "click in" the answers. When all teams have completed the review,...

Bring your Algebra class to the computer lab! Using materials created by Texas Instruments, they explore exponentiasl and graphs. Be sure to download the correct materials (on the right side of the webpage) before having them walk...

Investigate equivalent fractions with your class. They compare and order fractions. Then they work cooperatively in groups to experiment and problem solve with fractions using a game format. Multiple resources are provided.

Students make a table and graph plotting points. In this algebra lesson, students graph linear equations on a coordinate plane. They calculate the rate of change and analyze the graph for extrapolation.

Sixth graders interpret linear and nonlinear graphs. They create graphs based on a problem set. Next, they represent quantitive relationships on a graph and write a story related to graphing.
