Students graph quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson plan, students solve quadratic equations by factoring. They identify the end behavior of the graph.

Students review and analyze graphs and tables as a group. They develop their graph and data analysis skills by converting data tables from Human Activity and the Environment into graphs.

Students graph linear functions. They plot three points, create a line, and discuss methods to find the slope of line. In groups, students solve problems, graph their lines and find the slope of a line using various methods. Upon...

Young scholars identify aquatic insects. In this organism lesson, students locate aquatic insects near a local waterway and collect them. Young scholars graph the amount of insects that they collected.

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

Students graph lines using the slope and y-intercept. In this algebra lesson, students create data using tables and equations. They use their data to make predictions and draw conclusion.

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.

Pupils 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...

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.

A simple activity that helps learners conduct a survey is here for you. In it, pupils collect data on their family and classmate's favorite months. Youngsters use tally marks in the spaces provided to keep track of the answers. Once back...

Here is a simple, yet clever lesson on how to teach the important concepts of greater than, less than, and equal to. Pupils write their names down on grid paper - one letter per box. They compare their names and find a name that is...

Students study Greek literature. In this Greek tragedies instructional activity, students explore the dance-dramas of Martha Graham. Students study the choreography that brings ancient Greek literature to life.

When molecules of hydrogen and oxygen are combined, how does water form? Science scholars observe changes in kinetic and potential energy during a chemical reaction in an interactive. The resource features easy controls that allow users...

Can you put that in writing? Scholars work with a partner to write a practice claim before writing their own claims. After writing their claims, learners share with class using a Concentric Circles activity.

Escape to investigate hyperbolas. Pupils take a look at what happens to the elliptical orbital path of a satellite that exceeds escape velocity as the opener to the eighth lesson in a unit of 23. Scholars analyze basic hyperbolas and how...

There are architectural parabolas all around us! A creative lesson analyzes the architecture of a parabolic bridge. Learners must manipulate the bridge to satisfy given criteria and then answer questions about the dimensions of the...

You'll be over the moon about this resource. Scholars draw a line representing the weight of an object on the moon based on its mass. Consideration of the constant of proportionality allows them to see relationships between weight of an...

Designs from lines are sublime. Scholars create colorful designs by connecting points on an interactive coordinate plane. They answer questions about slope and quadrants based on their designs.

Is obesity a disease or just a preventable risk factor for other diseases? Scholars attempt to form their own opinions by reading a background of the issue and watching videos that explore the main pro and con arguments using an included...

In this Algebra II learning exercise, 11th graders classify polynomials by degree, write in standard form, and describe the behavior of the graph. The two page learning exercise provides explanation and examples along with thirteen...

Students collect, graph and analyze data. In this statistics instructional activity, students measure the heart beat of a person as they listen to music. They use the CBL and TI to create a graph, analyzing the outcome.

Second graders make daily weather observations, record them with appropriate stickers on a chart, and then summarize them at the end of the week in the form of a bar graph.
