Students solve a mystery at their school. In this classifying lesson, students find suspects who committed the crime. Students categorize them into race, sex, and fingerprint type. Students show their results in graphs.

Students practice and determine expected values of experiments as well as distributions of experiments. They find the area of rectangles and circles and determine elementary probabilities. Probability exercises begin with quarters and...

In this factoring trinomials instructional activity, 9th graders solve and complete 36 various types of problems. First, they write each trinomial in factored form. Then, students write all of the factor pairs of the third term and...

Fourth graders explore the weapons of the Aboriginal people.  For this fourth grade math lesson, 4th graders create charts, tables, or diagrams to represent patterns and relations.  Students investigate which dart length has...

Students construct parallel lines using a protractor and a straightedge. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify the properties of parallel lines. They use Cabri to graph and observe the lines.

Students investigate the factors affecting the size of a crater. In this space science lesson, students collect data from the activity and graph them. They explain how velocity of impact relate to crater size.

Students make "pets" of isopods (potato bugs) to determine their preferred environment and food sources. They record their results on a bar graph and in a scientific report.

Pupils determine expected values of experiments and explore distributions of experiments. They guess as to how many times a coin will flip heads in fifty tries. They flip a coin fifty times graphing the results on a histogram. They...

Learners examine three seismograms of a recent South American earthquake recorded by USGS stations. They measure the S-P distance and use a P and S wave travel-time graph to find the epicenter distance for each seismogram. In addition,...

In this graphing worksheet, students focus on the usage of a pictograph. Students poll classmates and respond to 2 questions about the graph that they have created.
