Functions help make the world make more sense. Individuals model real-world situations with functions. They match a variety of contexts to different function types to finish a helpful resource.

Herbivores and carnivores just don't get along. Using a box of animal crackers, classes collect data about the injury status of herbivores and carnivores in the box. They complete the process of chi-square testing on the data from...

Control the spread of a contagious disease. An applet allows pupils to run a simulation on the spread of a disease. Rules govern how the disease is spread and the length of time it takes to recover. Learners view the spread visually and...

Students identify and explain different types of data collection and graphs. In this graphs and data collection lesson, students record their observations of a variety of data collection tools and graphs displayed in the room. Students...

In this area of triangles worksheet, students solve 18 area of triangles problems.  Students find the area of various types of triangles given a graph of the triangle.

Students use commercial software to organize and visually display data to draw conclusions; students use graphing software to create several types of graphs illustrating the number of each color of M&M's in one bag.

Students investigate line graphs.   In this middle school mathematics lesson, students compare and contrast different types of graphs and create line graphs based on the data provided.

In this graphing data worksheet, middle schoolers answer 5 short answer questions about graphs.  Students determine which type of graph best represents various data sets.

Students explore counting and graphing. In this math lesson plan, students practice counting from 1-25 and are exposed to two types of graphs: the pie graph and the bar graph. Students use Skittles to represent a variety of measurements.

Seventh graders review different types of graphs such as bar graphs, line graphs, box & whisker plots. As a class, they read a story and construct graphs to solve the data in the story. Students play "Graph Jeopardy" which requires...

As your scholars begin to learn how to read graphs, help them pay attention to detail with this matching activity. They read four short data descriptions and match them to one of the four bar graphs pictured. Each graph is labeled along...

In this data analysis worksheet, students interpret data in 5 problems involving graphs, tables, and scatterplots. Students construct 1 stem and leaf plot and find the mean, median, and mode of a data set.

Solve a real-world problem of discovering how many doctors and nurses can be hired within budget and building constraints. Using different colored pencils to shade each graph, they then find the intersection points and use these to solve...

Seventh graders collect and analyze data.  In the seventh grade data analysis lesson plan, 7th graders explore and/or create frequency tables, multiple bar graphs, circle graphs, pictographs, histograms, line plots, stem and leaf...

Students gain practice in the analysis of various types of graphs common in daily life. These examples often use graphic images like charts, graphs, tables, and pictures to supplement learning.

In this multiple math skills about watermelons worksheet, students solve most and least word problems, subtract to solve a cod and find the answer to a question, count coins, and graph types of watermelons. Students solve 28 problems. 

In this reading and interpreting graphs worksheet, students answer 8 word problems that involve reading information from a graph about pizzas. Students then review a second graph centered on music and answer 12 questions.

This performance task gives the population model of different types of flies and asks scholars to analyze the two populations. After interpreting the functions individually, participants compare the two populations and find the time...

Learners explore the concept of univariate and bivariate data. In this univaritate and bivariate data lesson, pupils discuss the differences between univariate and bivariate data. They work sample problems where they must construct box...

Youngsters sort M & M's by color. They graph the M&M's by color on a graph. This classic lesson is a wonderful way to introduce the concept and technique of graphing to young mathematicians. Pairs of kids can make up their own...

In the activity on this webpage, learners use interactive graphing technology to investigate transformations of graphs. In the first part of the task, they look at the graph of a quadratic function with coordinates of a few points...

Perry the penguin wants to buy a new scooter, but he doesn't have any funds! Walk your kids through the short book Less Than Zero, and have them track his borrowing, spending, and saving on a line graph while you read. Pupils will learn...

What does the graph mean? Pupils view 10 graphs and determine whether they are possible based on their contexts. The contexts are distance versus time and profit versus time.

One, two, or zero solutions—quadratic systems have a variety of solution possibilities. Using the parent function and the standard form of the function, learners describe the values of a, b, and c that produce each solution type. They...
