Students explore linear equation suing real life scenarios. In this algebra lesson, students find the slope and intercept of a line. They create table of values to plot their graph and draw conclusions.

Upper elementary and middle schoolers work with the concept of probability. They are introduced to the concept of chaos. Learners graph and analyze using a line plot, work with mean, and are introduced to the concept of variance.

Students explore the concept of cell phone plans. In this cell phone plan lesson, students research the cost of cell phones. Students compare various cell phone plans and decide on which phone plan is best for them.

Pupils explore quadratic functions in this algebra instructional activity. They investigate transformation of quadratic functions using the TI calculator. They use the vertex form for this instructional activity.

Learners graph their linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students examine their lines and relate it to the slope or rate of change. They relate the steepness of the line to the slope being positive, negative or zero.

Fifth graders explore the math concept of graphing integers. In this graphing integers lesson, 5th graders examine visual examples. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

A realistic simulation uses charts to show forces, position, velocity, and acceleration versus time based on how the simulation is set up. Once those concepts are mastered, scholars use free body diagrams to explain how each graph...

Learners explore the graph of a function. In this calculus lesson, students identify when and where the graph is increasing or decreasing. They identify if it concave up or down by moving the cursor.

Students collect data, use a computer spreadsheet program to create various graphs, and compare the graphs. They state the findings of each graph in writing and decide which graph type best represents the data.

Fifth graders interpret data into graphs and percentages.  In this organizing data lesson, 5th graders discuss bar, circle and line graphs.  Students complete bar graph and apply probability using the results.
