When complicated algebraic expressions are involved, it is sometimes easier to use a table or graph to model a context. The exercises in this lesson are designed for business applications and require complex algebraic...

Make the connection between Hooke's law and elasticity with an activity that introduces the class to the behavior of elastic materials. The resource defines stress and strain to calculate the modules of elasticity of...

Represent linear equations in both two and three dimensions using parametric equations. Learners write parametric equations for linear equations in both two and three variables. They graph and convert the parametric equations to...

Weather versus climate: weather relates to short time periods while climate averages the weather of a period of many years. Scholars learn about average temperature and precipitation in various climate zones and then apply statistics...

What does dropping a ball look like as a graph? An engaging activity asks learners to record a video of dropping a ball and uploading the video to software for analysis. They compare the position of the ball to time and calculate the...

Using a TI-Nspire calculator, learners will work to better understand function notation and input/output functions. They write equations with a function symbols, identify what makes an equation a function, and graph lines in order to...

Learners graph and order numbers using a number line. They also solve word problems using fractions and decimals and rewrite equations to solve problems correctly. Several example word problems are given. 

Ninth graders review the information that they have already learned with regard to linear equations and graphical representations. They then assist in combining equations with a graphical element and complete various graphs with this...

Young scholars perform operations and graph their data using charts and bar graphs. In this algebra lesson, students follow specific steps to make a bar graph. They create a survey about people favorite things and plot their data...

Students graph lines in a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, students graph lines on a coordinate plane, and identify the slope. They calculate the volume, area and perimeters of the shapes created on a coordinate plane.

Learners explore graphs and define the different ways they are used to display data. In this algebra lesson, students collect data and plot their data using the correct graph. They draw conclusions from their graphs based on their data.

Students collect data and create graphs about themselves, their community, and the world around them. They use a variety of methods to organize data, such as stickers, clothespins, name tags, coloring, tally marks, etc.

Students solve systems of equation through graphing. In this algebra lesson, students solve linear equations and analyze the result to figure out if there is one solution, no solution or infinitely many solutions. They graph their lines...

First graders dress as their favorite storybook character. They draw a self-portrait, then place the drawing on a graph.

Students explore the concept of climate. They use temperature and precipitation data from their area and other regions to construct climate graphs. These graphs are used to help identify factors that influence climate.

Learners gather data about the weather in Nome, Alaska. In this Nome Temperature lesson, students create an excel graph to explore the weather trends in Nome.  Learners will find the average weather and add a trend line to their graph.

Students collect data and graph their results, then analyze the graphs. In this geometry lesson plan, students examine slopes and their graphs and discuss the relationship between the lines and the slopes.

Students make a graph. In this weather instructional activity, students fill in a KWL chart about different types of weather. Students watch a PowerPoint presentation about weather and natural disasters and where these types of weather...

Students practice sampling and graphing techniques. In this data collection and interpretation instructional activity, students write and conduct surveys about chocolate preferences and then collect their data. Students graph the data in...

Students brainstorm favorite things to do during the summer. They survey classmates to collect data, arrange it in a chart, and create graphs using ClarisWorks.

Students study the concepts of motion, velocity, and acceleration through graphing their own movement using LoggerPro. They explain the difference between speed and velocity using the weather vane example. They discover the difference...

Learners investigate relations in this algebra instructional activity. They graph the set of ordered pairs that determine a relation. Using a TI-83 Plus, your learners will enter the coordinates in a list, create a scatter plot, and...

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

In this math worksheet, young scholars write 8 equations of the axis of symmetry and find the coordinates of each quadratic function. Students graph 4 of the equations and state if the vertex is maximum or minimum.
