Why is the weather man wrong so often? Young climatologists discover how chaos rules both weather and climate through a math-based activity. Using an iterative equation, the class examines how small day-to-day weather events total up to...

As the world population increases, demands on the carbon cycle also increase. A well-designed lesson first explores the greenhouse effect and its impact on global warming. Further sections have pupils study the effect of greenhouse gases...

Scholars use primary and secondary documents, as well as video evidence, to investigate the end of the Cold War.  After completing the final installment of an eight-part series, class members better understand the issues surrounding...

Students investigate graphs and analyze the data displayed in the graph. They read a graph reflecting the birthday data for the students to read and analyze. Students use the graph to determine the number of birthday cards they need to...

What is a graph? What does it tell us? How do you make one? These are all questions that are answered in the included packet. It's a great introduction to graphing for young learners! 

In this bar graph activity, students learn how to read bar graphs by using the information in each word problem and making bar graphs with the information to help solve the problems.

Second graders create and utilize a graph using the Excel computer program. They gather data regarding how the students get to school, tally the numbers for the class, and create a bar graph on paper and using Excel.

What do you like to do after school? Study this bar graph and have learners answer the five questions that follow. Consider asking learners to draw their own bar graph for number five (even though the question can be answered without...

Information is often presented in graph form. Can your youngsters read a basic bar or picture graph? Six word problems accompany three graphs. One graph is a bar graph and the other two are pictographs. 

Here are Jack's hours for the week; scholars organize them into a bar graph in this data analysis worksheet. They write the days along the y-axis and hours along the x-axis. Encourage labeling for this. Consider projecting as an...

How many animals did Chaplin see at the zoo? Scholars examine three data sets and create a bar graph for each. Encourage them to label the different parts of their graphs, as this is not prompted on the activity. Once they finish their...

Horses need exercise, too. Scholars create linear equations to model the perimeter of exercise fields for horses. They finish by solving their equations for the length and width of the fields.

Is this going to be on the test? A calculus study guide provides an organized list of important topics and a few examples with answers. The topics include elementary functions, limits, differential calculus, and...

Examine different types of graphs as a means for analyzing data. Math scholars identify the type of graph from a series of data displays and then develop questions to match each one. Then, given a scatter plot of height versus age...

The equations look different, but their graphs are the same. How can that be? This activity leads your mathematicians in an exploration of three different forms of the same quadratic function. After comparing the equations, their graphs,...

In this unit designed for second graders, youngsters are introduced to conducting surveys and creating tally charts based on the data they gather. Learners then construct bar graphs, and observe the relationships between the two...

Every movement in the world can be measured and even motionless objects can be significant indicators of movement. Focus on motion graphs that feature distance vs. time, speed vs. time, and positive and negative acceleration.

Graphing all kinds of situations in one and two variables is the focus of this detailed unit of daily lessons, teaching notes, and assessments. Learners start with piece-wise functions and work their way through setting up and solving...

In this linear function worksheet, students use tables to find the values of functions. They graph linear functions and explore the significance of the coordinates. This two-page worksheet contains 4 multi-step problems. Graph paper is...

Using this worksheet, pupils graph 11 simple rational functions. They also find asymptotes, domain, and range for each function. The solutions are provided.

Step up to learn about step functions. The instructional activity, designed for high schoolers, first covers piecewise functions and how to draw their graphs. It then introduces step functions, including the greatest integer...
