How do you rate? Young scholars use graphical data to analyze ratings of different television episodes. Their analyses include best-fit lines, mean, median, mode, and range.

Math scholars investigate the cost of living in Hong Kong compared to Chicago but must first convert the different types of currency. They then choose a type of graph to compare different spending categories and finish the activity by...

Will Social Security still be around when you retire? Given data on the predicted balance of the social security fund over time, scholars plot the points on a coordinate grid and determine if a quadratic regression fits the data. They...

Frequency polygons are a different way to represent frequencies over intervals. Pupils take frequencies for intervals of data from a frequency table and plot them as a frequency polygon. Budding mathematicians find information about the...

Over the years, data analysis has been important. Looking back to the 2004 AP® Statistics Form B free-response questions, pupils and teachers see the importance of analysis of data sets. The six questions contain analysis of data on...

Go around and around with slope. The class investigates tornadoes by watching videos, building a homemade tornado, and performing research on the Storm Prediction Center website. Groups gather data and create scatter plots for twisters...

Don't keep the resource at an arm's length. A hands-on activity has scholars measure the heights, arm spans, hair lengths, and foot lengths of their classmates. They create scatter plots to determine if there is a correlation between...

Working in groups, pupils plot three points on the coordinate plane representing three different parabolic paths. Using a calculator, they determine the quadratic regression equation for their models. Each team then figures out the...

Students are introduced to the concept of scatter plots after reviewing the various types of graphs. In groups, they analyze the type of information one can receive from a scatter plot and identify the relationship between the x and y...

A unique approach to reviewing number lines and how to locate different values on them, this worksheet poses several questions that require written answers rather than calculations. You could use this as a note-taking guide when teaching...

Students find coordinate points on a grid and create a line graph with those points. This instructional activity should ideally be used during a unit on various types of graphs. They make and use coordinate systems to specify locations...

In this scatter plots worksheet, students solve and complete 4 different problems. First, they use the table shown to model the relation with a scatter plot and trend line and to predict the value of a variable when given the other...

In this plotting points instructional activity, students solve 6 word problems, plotting sets of points as directed in each problem. Students write ordered pairs, determine "what went wrong" in a problem, and answer reasoning questions.

In this equation of a line worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 4 different multiple choice problems. First, they use the median fit method to determine the equation that most likely represents the line of best fit for the data...

Fifth graders learn and then demonstrate their knowledge of a bar and a circle graph using the classroom data. Students are given a pack of skittles candy. Students create a bar and circle graph indicating the results of the contents of...

Pupils engage in the practice of creating a scatter plot with the data obtained from measuring different resting heart rates. The data is used to create the table that is translated into a graph. The lesson gives instructions for the use...

Students plot numbers on a number line. In this negative numbers lesson, students create their own number line. Students discuss the concept of negative numbers and plot some on their number lines. Students create true and false...

Learners use a stem-and-leaf plot from a set of data to identify the range, median, and mode of their own math grades.

Students examine functions and function notation. They use computer activities to discover how to graph functions, and conduct a vertical line test. Students describe spatial relationships using coordinate geometry.

In this algebra worksheet, learners describe the relationship between a line graph and its data. They define the reasons line graphs are used and discuss increasing and decreasing lines. There is one involved questions, requiring several...

In this line graphing learning exercise, students read a table showing items four children "posses" and plot graphs for each child showing the distribution of objects they each have. Students plot four line graphs.

Students investigate the relationship between perpendicular and parallel lines on a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate lines based on their slopes.

Students graph lines in a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, students graph lines on a coordinate plane, and identify the slope. They classify the lines as parallel or perpendicular and write an equation of a given line.

Eighth graders measure in feet and inches and convert to explore the relationship between the converted measurements. In this measurement lesson, 8th graders use the whisker and box plot to represent the measurement of a cat. ...
