This is an outstanding presentation on graphs and statistics. Learners choose which type of graph is being shown, and also gain practice in the techniques used to find the mean, median, and mode of sets of numbers. Very good!

Linear, quadratic, and exponential functions are represented only by their table of values in this simple, well-written instructional activity. Learners decide the type of graph represented based on the differences in the function...

Math scholars investigate the cost of living in Hong Kong compared to Chicago but must first convert the different types of currency. They then choose a type of graph to compare different spending categories and finish the activity by...

Examine different types of graphs as a means for analyzing data. Math scholars identify the type of graph from a series of data displays and then develop questions to match each one. Then, given a scatter plot of height versus age...

Identify the different types of graphs and when they are used. Learners will research a specific health issue facing teens today. They then develop a survey, collect and analyze data and present their findings in class.  This is a...

Many university professors complain incoming scholars struggle with interpreting graphs. A skill builder offers three different types of exercises including calculating slope, interpreting graphs, and extrapolating outside the plotted...

Help young scholars see the important role camouflage plays in the survival of animals with a fun science lesson. Starting with an outdoor activity, children take on the role of hungry birds as they search for worms represented by...

Sixth graders review the different types of graphs (bar, line, pictograph) They predict the data set they can garner several boxes of conversation hearts. Students record their data using an Excel spreadsheet. They create a graph based...

Analyze different types of graphs with learners. They conduct a survey and determine the mean, median and mode. They then identify different techniques for collecting data.

Histograms are likely to give birth to a variety of conclusions. Given the likelihood a woman is to give birth after a certain number of weeks, pupils create a histogram. The scholars use the histogram to analyze the data and answer...

In this graphs worksheet, students solve 6 fill in the blank problems where they choose the most appropriate type of graph for each set of data and explain why they chose that type. Students use bar graphs, histograms and circle graphs....

Sketch graphs with the Graph Sketcher. Scholars graph functions on a coordinate plane. An interactive makes it as easy as inputting the function and clicking a button.

What better way to learn about plant life than by creating a class garden? Young botanists start with a brief discussion about radishes before planting seeds and watching them grow. To determine the importance of water,...

Fifth graders identify different types of graphs. In this graphing lesson plan, 5th graders record their favorite fast food restaurants and graph the results. A graph song to the tune of "Macarena" is included.

Graph polynomials and identify the end behavior of each polynomial function. The class differentiates between linear, quadratic, and other polynomial equations.

One thing that puzzles a lot of young algebrists is the factors in a word problem that are taken as "understood". This presentation on solving systems of linear inequalities does a great job walking the learner through how to tease those...

Sometimes the best things are already done for you! Here is a six-problem quiz that has a variety of problems ranging from solving quadratic equations to interpreting a function. The piece-de-resistance is the worked out answer key in...
