Learners investigate the concept of straight line motion. They determine the pattern and graph it looking for the motion maintained at a constant speed. Students also write a description of the significance of the line. The skill of...

Learners practice counting money. In this consumer math lesson, students identify the various U.S. coins and group them in various ways to equal a dollar. Learners will use the money they collected for a donation towards a non-profit...

In this particle physics instructional activity, students use graphs and tables to predict the particles formed during a specific observation event. They complete 5 multi-part fill in the blank questions.

Ninth graders track the hit count on their favorite web sites.  In this Algebra I lesson, 9th graders record the number of hits on their favorite web site for twenty days.  Students explore the data to determine if the relation...

Students examine computerized data maps in order to create graphs of the amount of snowfall found at certain latitudes by date. Then they compare the graphs and the data they represent. Students present an analysis of the graphs.

Fourth graders interpret a graph and make correlations using data. After taking a class survey, 4th graders create a class graph of their favorite planets. Working in small groups, they interpret the information and create at least ten...

Fourth graders watch a video about constructing bar graphs. They create their own graph and interpret it.

Fifth graders use text or other references to locate different types of information about the Mayflower and pilgrims. They create a presentation for lower elementary classes about the Pilgrims.

Handling and processing data is a big part of what real scientists do. Provide a way for your learners to explore graphs and data related to the animals that live on the African savannah. They begin their analysis by discussing what they...

What determines whether a function has an inverse? Learners investigate that criteria when they examine values in a partially completed input-output table for two different functions. The task is to complete the table so that one of the...

Students conduct research on historical population changes in the U.S. They conduct Internet research on the Historical Census Data Browser, create a bar graph and data table using a spreadsheet program, and display and interpret their...
