You know climate change is happening when you see a bee take off its yellow jacket. Part four in a series of five lessons explores all factors affecting climate change: temperature, cloud cover, precipitation, and carbon dioxide. By...

How does inertia affect an object's trajectory? After watching a video on safety belt use, pupils discuss the notions of inertia. Using their knowledge, individuals try to drop a ball on a target while running, and classmates observe the...

They say it runs in the family. Small groups use a card sorting activity to group graphs of functions into families. After grouping by families, the class develops conclusions for parent functions and create a graphic organizer.

Studying data over time can paint a pretty interesting picture. Learners use data they collected in the previous lesson to compare to historical data in a similar region. They graph the data of the first bloom of a specific species over...

Scholars show what they know about data collection and analysis with an activity that examines a smaller population of Houghton, Texas. Independently or in pairs, learners identify their research question, gather, graph, and analyze...

Has any progress been made in desegregating schools since 1954's Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education? To find out, class members examine charts and graphs representing U.S. schools' racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic...

Equal pay for equal work? High schoolers research the reasons for the inequity in women's pay. They read articles, examine graphs, engage in discussion, and then craft an essay in which they suggest a way to address the gender wage gap.

The Tortoise and the Hare: It's a classic story about the triumph of ... mathematics. A linear equation and quadratic equation give the distances over time for the tortoise and hare. Pupils graph the equations to see when the tortoise...

In this literature worksheet, learners use a blank bar graph grid to record all of the Dr. Seuss books they read. No labels are on the graph.

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.

Teen-aged scientists analyze a graphic organizer of how trash is removed from New York City and then answer standard questions about a graph and a diagram. Resources are mentioned, but there are no links to these resources, so you will...

Solve a real-world problem of discovering how many doctors and nurses can be hired within budget and building constraints. Using different colored pencils to shade each graph, they then find the intersection points and use these to solve...

Learners explore the concept of piecewise functions. In this piecewise functions lesson, students graph piecewise functions by hand and find the domain and range. Learners make tables of values given a piecewise function. Students write...

Stjudents examine the statistics in a Canadian publication for use in graphs. They develop their own questions based on tables and graphs found in this publication..

In this Scatter Diagrams and Curve Fitting worksheet, students are guided in how to graph a scatter diagram (plot) and a Best Fit Line using a TI-83 graphing calculator. 

In this math worksheet, students graph the functions on parallel axes and observe the location of the slope point in relation to the x and y axes.

Students calculate and graph the diving depths of various types of whales. They cut out and glue whale pictures on a worksheet to represent the diving depths for five whales, and discuss how people use graphs to communicate.

Students prepare and collect data and use excel and create a graph. They collect data about the number of pattern blocks that are put on tables. Students then record that data in Excel.

In this limits worksheet, students evaluate limits and graph given expressions. They classify graphs as removable discontinuities, jump discontinuities, or asymptotes. this two-page worksheet contains seven multi-step problems.

Upper elementary and middle schoolers describe the various features of unit cubes, such as edges, corners, and faces. They also discuss how to represent measurements of a cube using exponents before engaging in various thinking and...

High schoolers practice using graphing calculators and spreadsheets as they explore numeric limits using sequences and functions. They complete a sequencing worksheet, and determine which sequence corresponds to story a story called...

Fifth graders demonstrate how to find their pulse and count the beats after a certain amount of time. In cooperative pairs, 5th graders use a stopwatch to keep track of their partner's heart rate in seconds. Pairs make a graph from their...
