Students draw line graphs. In this math lesson plan, students interpret minimum wage data and graph the data in a line graph. Students predict the next minimum wage and figure the earnings for a 40 hour work week for someone earning the...

Students draw conclusions and make conjectures given a specific scenario. In this geometry lesson, students model real life scenarios using properties of triangles. They model number facts and explain why the outcome is what it is.

Students calculate the mileage, gasoline costs, and travel time and costs for a vacation. They conduct a virtual field trip, and create a comparison graph of costs using Microsoft Excel software.

Students plot functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane. They explore lines and parabolas. Students analyze graphs and answer questions about the information presented on the graph using an online program.

Students create models to represent both linear and quadratic equations.  In this algebra instructional activity, students collect data from the real world and analyze it. They graph and differentiate between the two types.

Students collect data on calorie intake. In this algebra instructional activity, students use the collection of data to make better eating decisions. They investigate the nutritional value in food using a graph and draw conclusion from...

Use tables, graphs, and substitution to solve systems of linear equations. An envelope of sample problems is passed around the classroom, and each learner has the opportunity to solve the system in the envelope. This is a great way to...

Keep your pets slim, trim, and healthy using mathematics! Pupils use a linear programming model to optimize the amount and type of food to provide to a pet rabbit. They model constraints by graphing inequalities and use them to analyze a...

Future statisticians and potential psychics first conduct an experiment to collect data on whether a person can tell if someone is staring at them. Statistical methods, such as hypothesis testing, chi-square tests, binomial tests, and...

How does your garden grow? Use proportions to help Tim answer that question. By using their understanding of proportional relationships, pupils determine the number of seeds that will sprout. They create their own linear...

Your young airplane enthusiasts will enjoy this collaborative task of graphing an airplane's distance from the ground as it flies in a perfect circle. They will discover that they have graphed a sinusoidal function that comes from the...

Population density, it is not all that it is plotted to be. Pupils analyze a scatter plot of population versus area for some of the states in the US. The class members respond to eight questions about the graph, specific points and...

Students explore hurricanes.  In this weather data interpretation lesson, students draw conclusions about the impact of Hurricane Floyd as it related to weather conditions. Students read and interpret a tide data table, a barometric...

After a grand conversation about immigration to the United States, scholars interview a family member to learn about their journey to America. They then take their new-found knowledge and apply their findings to tracking their family...

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. 

Leaners investigate families of linear functions through dance. They choreograph dance moves to model nine unique linear functions of their choosing. Using their dance moves, teams create a video presentation complete with music and...

Students use a table, graph or equation to represent a quadratic function. In this algebra lesson, students model and graph with quadratic function. They become comfortable representing quadratics using different methods.

Eighth graders extend their learning of graphing linear equations and are introduced to connecting patterns in tables and graphs to represent algebraic representations. They then determine patterns and extrapolate information from these...

Third graders create a bar graph to record how many kernels were in a wheat stalk. They write in math journals two questions from interpreting the graph. They solve math problems from other students.

Students read graphs and charts to interpret results. In this algebra activity, students interpret bar, line and pictographs. They draw conclusions and make predicitons based on these charts.

In this collecting and analyzing data worksheet, students collect data from an experimental investigation about the relationship between the color of a Tootsie Roll Pop and the time it takes to get to the chocolate center. ...

Young scholars enter information about their heartbeats into a spreadsheet. They construct data displays and calculate statistics. They describe and justify their conclusions from the data collected.

Learners work collaboratively to gain a better understanding of the vastness of space by scaling down the solar system. They measure by inches, gain an understanding of space, and model the distances of the planets from the sun.

Students investigate methods of estimating through cooperative group activities, hands-on activities, the use of tables and graphs and an interactive video.
