For this Scatter Diagrams and Curve Fitting worksheet, students are guided in how to graph a scatter diagram (plot) and a Best Fit Line using a TI-83 graphing calculator. 

Students complete activities using a frequency table and construct a pie graph for the data. In this frequency table activity, students complete a survey to find data for a frequency table. Students use the given link to make a pie graph...

Compose and decompose sets of 13 and 14 and compare sets of each with your little learners. They use objects to construct sets of 13 and 14, record their answers, and compare sets in several different ways.

Students differentiate between exponential growth and decay. In this algebra activity, students solve exponential equations using properties of exponents. They use the Ti calculator to graph and analyze their functions.

Students explore lines, rays, line segments, and planes. In this math lesson, students discuss the math concepts and direct their instructor in graphing functions. Students collaborate in graphing additional functions.

Students practice creating bar graphs using a given set of data. Using the same data, they create a group frequency chart and histograms. They must decide the best graph for the given set of data. They share their graphs with the...

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.

Students interpret data from graphs. In this range and mode lesson, students review a tally chart, pictograph and bar graph. Students use these graphs to calculate the range and mode of each set of data.

Students research climate data for a city in each of the 5 major geographic sections of Texas. They use data to describe the climate and what influence the geography of that section has on the weather.

Students examine the diet of panthers. In this interpreting data lesson, students collect data on the panther's diet and chart the data in bar and pie graphs.

Students choose natural phenomena to research. They design and conduct experiments or simulations. Students predict, gather, and analyze data. They graph the results using a spreadsheet software.

Students grow plants and track their growth over time. In this growing plants lesson, students plant seedlings and chart their growth in a data analysis activity.

Students investigate and study logarithmic equations. In this precalculus lesson, students analyze the data behind the function. They define each graph as positive, negative or no correlation. They find the line of best fit.

In this where do plants get their food worksheet, students design an experiment that will disprove the idea that plants obtain their food from soil. Students will set up their experiment and design a data table that will record data over...

Explore linear functions! In this Algebra I lesson, mathematicians graph data in a scatter plot and use a graphing calculator to find a linear regression and/or a median-median line. They use the model to make predictions.

What are the factors that influence voting patterns? How do these factors influence government funding? Is participation the squeaky wheel gets the grease? Class members interpret graphs and analyze trends to determine what...

Most scholars associate density with floating, but how do scientists determine the exact density of an unknown liquid? The third lesson in a seven-part series challenges scholars to find the mass and volume of two unknown liquids. Each...

Investigate exponential growth and decay. A set of six activities has pupils collecting and researching data in a variety of situations involving exponential relationships. They model these situations with exponential functions and solve...

Using the scientific method, and bubble gum, learners conduct a motivating experiment. After conducting a series of tests involving bubble gum, they graph and analyze their results. This is the type of activity everyone loves.

Middle schoolers compare current weather data to historic data to see if there is a temperature change.  In this weather lesson students complete a lab activity and determine average changes in temperature, precipitation and cloud...

Huygens spacecraft landed on Saturn's moon Titan in 2005, making it the farthest landing from Earth ever made by a spacecraft. In this hands-on activity, the 12th installment of 22, groups explore how density affects speed. To do this,...

Varve: a deposit of cyclical sediments that help scientists determine historical climates. Individuals analyze the topography of a region and then study varve datasets from the same area. Using this information, they determine the...

If it's warm, they will come! Learners find a line of best fit to show a relationship between temperature and beach visitors. Previous lessons in the series showed pupils how to create and find associations in scatter plots. Now,...
