Students study the functional relationships of a variety of problems. For this functional relationship lesson, students determine the dependent and independent quantities of a given set of data. Students record the data and...

Students plot equations. In this graphing activity, groups of students play the "Green Globs" graphing game to practice previously learned graphing skills. However, the author does not include information about how to obtain the software...

Ninth graders practice recognizing similarities and differences found in the graphing of inequalities and equations. Once observatioons are made they solve some of their own applying prior knowledge.

Eighth graders experiment with a bathroom scale, books and a plank to determine how weight readings change as distance is applied. They graph and interpret the results.

Students are introduced to linear inequalities in slope-intercept form. As a class, they participate when needed in a demonstration given by their teacher and practice graphing inequalities and describing the solution. They set up and...

Students graph linear equations using slopes and intercepts. For this algebra lesson, students identify the slope as being positive,negative or undefined. They differentiate between different quadrants on a coordinate plane.

Students explore the concept of algebra in real world situations. In this economics instructional activity, students design, plan, run, and evaluate a small business. Students will create a product, market the product, and try to make a...

Students collect data on population growth. In this statistics instructional activity, students graph their data and make predictions. They find the linear regression and the best fit line.

Pupils solve 2 X 2 systems using graphing and algebraic methods.

Mathematicians are introduced to Cramer’s Rule and use it to solve three systems that have one solution, no solutions, and an infinite number of solutions.  Students use TI-Nspire to graph the systems to verify their answers and...

Find the faster rate. The resource tasks the class to compare proportional relationships represented in different ways. Pupils find the slope of the proportional relationships to determine the constant rates. They then analyze the...

Students collect and analyze data with a graph. In this statistics lesson, students use central tendencies to find the meaning of their data. They display the data on a Ti calculator.

Students determine if there is an associationm in a scatter plot of data. They analyze data through predictios, comparisons, and applications. Students calculate the line of best fit using a graphing calculator. They display data in...

Students create a collect data on expenses. In this algebra lesson plan, students create a spreadsheet to solve scientific equations. They incorporate math, science and technology in this lesson plan.

Eleventh graders explore how data reported by country agencies can mislead the public intentionally or unintentionally. In this Cross Curricular activity, 11th graders analyze charts and graphs in order to draw conclusions. Students...

Students explore numbers patterns and write equations to describe the pattern. They apply the equations to further the patterns.

Students rewrite word problems using algebraic symbols. In this algebra activity, students graph linear equations after they rewrite the equation using algebra. They relate math to the real world.

Learners review the principles of graphing linear functions. They discuss plotting points on a coordinate plane, solving using a table, and then graphing. Students solve problems and determine the slope of the line, y-intercept and if...

Eighth graders graph two inequalities with a single variable. They include drawing the intersection or union of inequalities on a number line. Students solve the linear equations using properties of equality and inequality. The lesson...

Students explore the use of matrices and graphing calculators to solve a complex linear programming problem. They test their solutions to determine the best division of land use for the city.

Learners are introduced to the elimination method in Algebra. As a class, they solve two linear equations with two unknowns using this new method. They discuss the positive and negative aspects of using this method to solve problems. ...

Learners explore exponential growth and decay using M&M’s in this Algebra II/Pre-calculus lesson plan. They investigate the cost of a new car by calculating depreciation and payments.

Students graph systems of equation. In this algebra lesson, students find where the lines cross and identify the type of solution. They analyze a graph and write the equation of the line.
