Around and around you'll go! Learners analyze the periodic nature of a Ferris wheel. Using a trigonometric function, they make predictions about the location of a specific car at the end of the ride and its total trips around the circle.

Need to know if your students comprehend all the Common Core standards covered in second grade? This growth assessment will let you know.  Find out if your second graders can add/subtract, tell the time, read a bar graph, know their...

Most water fountains are designed to keep the water inside the fountain, but how are they designed to shoot up and out without the water leaving the fountain? Scholars vary the launch angle, fountain height, launch speed, and...

To be (a function) or not to be (a function). An easy-to-use interactive has pupils drag a vertical line onto several graphs to determine if they represent functions. Some challenge questions assess understanding of this idea.

Define rays and half planes, including the concepts of boundary lines and prerequisite knowledge of coordinate planes. Given linear inequalities in one and two variables, your class will compare the differences. They will also graph...

In this graphs activity, students analyze a pie graph showing miles driven by three truck drivers in a week. Students fill out a chart in which they calculate total miles driven.

In this pie chart worksheet, students use the pie chart graph to count the money Adam made in the Bread Shop. Students complete 10 questions.

In this circle graph worksheet, students ask 16 people what their favorite vegetable are, then create a circle graph to represent the information. 

Fourth graders review how to create bar, line and circle graphs. Using jelly beans, they collect data and present it in a bar graph form. They enter the same data into a spreadsheet and watch as the program creates the same graph. They...

In this worksheet students fill out a function table after reading a short word problem. This is a good way for students to practice the necessary skills for solving word problems or setting up algebra equations.

Students analyze and interpret graphs. In this graphing lesson plan, students view a video and construct their own graphs (line, circle, bar) from given sets of data. 

Eighth graders graph solutions to problems on a number line. After discussing algebraic expressions, 8th graders discuss how to solve them using an inequality. They observe examples and then work problems at their desks and on the...

Second graders rotate through a variety of stations designed to offer practice in manipulating data. They sort, tally and count items and then create bar graphs, tables, and pie graphs to record their findings.

Second graders discover how to make a bar graph. Each student receives a bag of Skittles candy. They make a bar graph which documents the colors found in the bag. At the end of the lesson plan, the Skittles are eaten. Fun!

Students create spreadsheets and bar graphs based on results of survey of favorite holidays.

What's in a name? Pupils create a data set from the number of letters in the names of classmates. Each group then takes the data and creates a visual representation, such as a histogram, circle graph, stem-and-leaf plot, etc.

Students 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. Students create their own data to graph and...

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...

Students investigate the parts of a tree, measure its circumference and the length and width of its longest branch. The data is compiled and placed into a bar graph.

Measure a tree? Yes, measure a tree! Students get outside and measure a tree's trunk, crown, and height. Each group compares their answers to determine if any re-measuring is necessary. Once back in the classroom, students make bar...

Agribusiness, human capital, productivity. Find out what your class members know about economic systems and terminology with this two-page economics worksheet that that asks kids to identify terms and concepts.

Go around and around on the complex plane. The sixth lesson in a 23-part unit reviews representing numbers in the complex plane. Pupils graph numbers with equal moduli and notice they represent a circle. They continue to explore complex...

Escape to investigate hyperbolas. Pupils take a look at what happens to the elliptical orbital path of a satellite that exceeds escape velocity as the opener to the eighth lesson in a unit of 23. Scholars analyze basic hyperbolas and how...

Did you know physicists can identify new particles by observing the path they take in a particle accelerator? Scholars explore the variables that determine the direction and radius of the circular path different particles take. They...
