Students solve word problems which involve graphing systems of equations. After discussing methods of solving word problems, the teacher demonstrates how to solve problems which involve graphing. They work together, at their desks, and...

Pupils investigate patters for area and perimeter. In this Algebra I/Geometry lesson, students explore two different patterns as they write a formula for the nth term of each pattern. Pupils graph their results and determine if the...

Second graders collect data from their families about their reading habits and graph them. In this graphing family reading habits instructional activity, 2nd graders interview family members about their reading habits. They then use a...

Young scholars solve quadratic equations using graphs. In this algebra lesson plan, students factor quadratic equations and graph their answer. They discuss the shape of their graph based on the function.

Students differentiate between linear and quadratic functions. In this algebra lesson plan, students write equations of graphs and graph a function from an equation. They also identify the slope and y-intercept.

Young mathematicians explore transformations of graphs by graphing sets of functions on the same pair of axes. They use their graphs to determine the effect that the values of a and b in y = ax + b have on the graph of y = x.

Students are introduced to the concept of scatter plots after reviewing the various types of graphs. In groups, they analyze the type of information one can receive from a scatter plot and identify the relationship between the x and y...

Students explore the concept of interpreting data. In this interpreting data lesson, students make a line plot of themselves according to the number of cubes they can hold in their hand. Students create their own data to graph and...

Pupils collect and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, learners create a scatter plot from their collected data. They use, tables and graphs to analyze the data and mae decisions.

What's in a name? Pupils create a data set from the number of letters in the names of classmates. Each group then takes the data and creates a visual representation, such as a histogram, circle graph, stem-and-leaf plot, etc.

Learners take turns shooting baskets and creating scatterplots based on the data. They create two graphs and look for possible correlation in the data for each graph.

Here is a classic activity used to introduce your class to the concept of probability and data collection. They will roll one die 30 times, then record and discuss the results. Great introduction, but too shallow to be considered a...

More people, more garbage! Young environmentalists graph population growth against the amount of garbage generated per year and find a linear model that best fits the data. This is an older resource that could benefit from more recent...

In this plotting worksheet, students plot given ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. After plotting each ordered pair, students connect line segments in consecutive order. Upon completion of the graphing exercise, students will have...

Middle and high schoolers use the slope intercept form to graph a line. For this algebra lesson, pupils rewrite equations from standard form to y-intercept form. They use the slope and y-intercept to graph a line without making a table...

Have learners use math to prove they are sports stars! Assess a pupil's ability to create and analyze data using a variety of graphs. The class will be motivated by the association of math and basketball data.
