Learners investigate the slope of various stairways through a "news report" approach and employ mathematical knowledge of applied slope to report on wheelchair accessibility and adherence to Americans with Disabilities Act. They...

Students analyze the graph of a distribution. In this statistics lesson, students define skewed or mound shape distribution as they investigate the data behind the graph. They define and plot outlier as well as normal probability.

Third graders discuss light sources and collect data about energy sources. They compare data and create a multiple line graph showing energy used by light sources for each student in the group. They present their graphs and write a...

Discover an inverse variation pattern. A simple lesson plan design allows learners to explore a nonlinear pattern. Scholars analyze a distance, speed, and time relationship through tables and graphs. Eventually, they write an equation to...

At some point, everyone has been under pressure—even Dalton! Explore Dalton's law of partial pressures with young chemists as they measure the volume of air extracted from a sample compared to its original volume. Class...

Learning how a bank account works is a useful tool. The exercise in the resource is to deduct rent from a checking account and create an equation from a description. Participants then graph the balance of the bank account versus months...

Want my name and number? It's 6.0221415 times 10 to the 23rd, and my name is Avogadro. Providing nine different activities, experiments, and labs, this lesson keeps Avogadro relevant to your class all year long. 

Students design a rectangular box without a lid that has the largest possible volume using the supplied sheet of centimeter graph paper. They work in groups to construct different size boxes to determine the largest possible volume and...

Students determine if there is an associationm in a scatter plot of data. They analyze data through predictios, comparisons, and applications. Students calculate the line of best fit using a graphing calculator. They display data in...

Eighth graders use M&M's to experiment with data. They use a graphing calculator to determine the best equation for their data; linear, quadratic or exponential. They analyze the data to find the half-life of their M&M's.

Students investigate the concentration level of solutions. In this math/science lesson, students identify three different ionic compounds. They predict the conductivity of each using their collected data.

Students explore the concept of linear regression. In this linear regression lesson, students do a Barbie bungee activity where they collect linear data. Students plot their data using a scatter plot. Students determine a line of best...

Students graph and solve linear system of equations. In this algebra lesson, students use algebraic and graphing methods to solve their systems. They find the point of intersection for their solution and draw inference from their data.

Students construct a linear graph. In this graphing lesson plan, students determine a monthly budget for gasoline. Students construct a t-chart and coordinate graph to display data. Resources are provided.

Students identify the slope of a line and use it to solve real life problems. In this algebra instructional activity, students write linear equations in slope intercept form and make a correlation to its relation to the real world. They...

Eighth graders determine the relationship between the height of bounce of a ping-pong ball and the height from which it was dropped. They are assessed on the ability to record and interpret data, graph data, make predictions, and make...

Pupils explore an exponential relationship and how it relates to human population growth and the current global population crisis. They graph both exponential and linear information.

Students factor and solve quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson, students play a game as the collect and graph data. they identify properties of their parabola and make predictions.

Students play a game and collect data for their graph. In this algebra lesson, students solve quadratic equations and identify properties of their graph. They describe the pattern created by the graph and the game.

Students examine a recent flight of Pathfinder. In groups, they use the information to create a table of values showing the battery charge of the space machine. They predict what the charge would be further on in the mission. They use...

Students convert degrees between two different units. In this algebra instructional activity, students graph linear equations and identify the line of best fit. They use their line of best fit to make predictions given a set of data.

Students solve problems using ratios and proportions. In this algebra lesson, students identify the unit rate and convert between fractions and decimals. They create graphs from their data.

Young scholars explore the concept of graphing data. In this graphing data lesson, students determine the percentage of sugar in bubble gum. Young scholars graph type of gum vs. sugar percentage. Students create a table of their data.
