In this slope-intercept worksheet, students solve 18 problems in which they find the slope-intercept and y-intercept of a graph given an equation, find the equation given a point and the slope-intercept, and find the equation of a...

In this first part of a two-part lesson, learners track and record the sun's azimuth using a solar panel. They graph and analyze the data to identify relationships among the time of day, the altitude and azimuth of the sun, and the...

Twenty-one pieces of tagboard can lead your class to a greater understanding of integers when you use them to form a human number line. After creating this math tool, two strategies for adding and subtracting will have your...

Students solve systems of linear equations by graphing. The introduction of the lesson asks students to work in pairs or small groups to graph a line when given two points. Students graph 14 equations on the same coordinate grid to...

Learners complete rolling stocks experiment, and collect and enter data on the computer. They enter data on graphing calculators, complete scatter plot by hand with line of best fit, and discuss different graphing methods.

In this linear equations instructional activity, students observe a graphed line on a coordinate plane. From their observations, they write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the depicted line. This four page instructional...

In this scatterplots and regressions worksheet, students solve 6 different types of problems related to graphing scatterplots and interpreting regressions. First, they create a scatterplot from the given data coordinates and then,...

Students discuss scatter plots then create a class scatter plot using their heart rate at rest and their heart rate after a few minutes of aerobic exercises. Students copy the points plotted as a class and create individual graphs...

High schoolers investigate perimeter patterns formed by a hexagon and a triangle. They will identify the dependent and independent variable and write a function for the relationship.

In this slope intercept worksheet, students solve 15 problems in which they find the slope of a linear equation, the slope of a graph, the slope using 2 points, and the equation of a line parallel or perpendicular to a given line.

Sixth graders determine the mean, range median and mode of a set of numbers and display them. In this data lesson students form a set of data and use computer spreadsheet to display the information. They extend of the process by...

A comprehensive lesson on acceleration awaits your physicists and engineers! Two YouTube videos pique their interest, then sample F=ma problems are worked and graphed. The highlight of the lesson is the building of a Lou-Vee air car!...

With a partner, youngsters measure their pulse and breathing rates, both at rest and after running in place for a minute. While this activity is not novel, the lesson plan includes a large-scale classroom graphing activity and other...

In class, your emerging environmentalists construct dust catchers. They take them home for a week or two, and then bring them back into class to examine under a magnifier. From this activity, they learn what makes up dust and that...

A smorgasbord of functions, this packet has the basics required for your learners to be successful in the land of early algebra. The packet includes solving equations, graphing, evaluating, simplifying and basically everything else...

Young scholars identify relations and functions. In this algebra lesson, students map points and decide whether the mapping is a function or not. They find the inverse and examine relations for functions.

Basically, your class reads about different garden plants from an included handout and seed packets that you provide, and then uses a grid to plan out where to place the plants. They can practice counting with the seeds, grouping,...

Learn to calculate the nth term of a sequence defined by an algebraic expression. They examine geometric sequences and series, relate geometric sequences to their explicit forms, find the partial sums of a sequence in a table, and...

Learn to identify the properties of parabolas. Students define parabola as the locus of all points equidistant from a fixed point and a fixed line. Also, interpret the equation for a parabola in vertex form and gain a visual...

Have your learners investigate parabolas. For this Algebra II lesson, learners explore the basic definition of a parabola by using Cabri Jr. to create a parabola given the focus and directrix.  Students interpret the equation for a...

Pupils detect the waveform of musical notes to determine the code for the "safe" in this forensics simulation instructional activity. They use a microphone and tuning forks along with Vernier EasyData on their graphing calculator to...

As an introductory activity, young statisticians measure their heart rate at rest and after exercise and compute the mean and median, and create a box & whisker plot.  This is followed by watching a video (that no longer seems...

Class members publish a letter describing their Virtual Field Trip incorporating data from previously developed charts, graphs, and data tables. The final instructional activity in a series devoted to collecting information and...

Context is the key to understanding slope. A real-world application of slope uses a weight loss scenario with a constant rate of change to introduce the concept of slope of a line, before it makes a connection to the ordered pairs...
