Great things come in small packages! What better way to illustrate this point than a week-long look at nanotechnology? Earth science scholars explore water quality issues through lab activities, then research new innovations in nanotech...

Students graph scenarios values by making a table. In this algebra lesson plan, students rewrite word problems using algebraic symbols. They make a table of the data, make a graph and analyze the data to extrapolate.

Learners calculate rate of change and graph linear functions. In this algebra instructional activity students write linear functions, make a table of points and graph their data on a coordinate plane. They calculate the rate of change of...

How much sugar is in one bottle? Pupils use double number line diagrams to determine the amount of sugar in a 1L bottle of cola. The teacher leads a discussion on ways that double number lines can be of assistance in solving a...

Set young mathematicians up for success with this interactive math notebook. Including a list of rules and expectations for using the notebooks, as well as templates for a creating a cover page and table of contents, this resource...

Build tables by understanding their structure. Scholars take a closer look at the structure of ratio tables in the 10th segment in a 29-part series. Individuals realize that the tables can be built using an additive or...

Don't table the discussion on equivalent ratios — do it now! Scholars create tables of equivalent ratios to represent contextual problems. Pupils go on to use the tables to answer questions within the context. The lesson is ninth in a...

Discover relationships between linear and nonlinear functions. Initially, a set of data seems linear, but upon further exploration, pupils realize the data can model an infinite number of functions. Scholars use multiple representations...

In this circle graphs learning exercise, students analyze a data table about the activities in a day. Students then use this data to make a circle graph. Students answer 6 questions about the graph.

Tables are useful for more than just eating. Learners use tables to organize data and calculate probabilities and conditional probabilities. 

Decide which concentration of mixtures is the strongest. Pupils use tables to compare ratios involved in mixtures. They use two methods to make the comparisons — by finding equivalent values within the tables or by comparing the...

Seeing functions in nature is a beautiful part of mathematics by analyzing the motion of a dolphin over time. Then take a look at the value of a stock and maximize the profit of a new toy. Explore the application of quadratics by...

In this finding a pattern using a table activity, students write what they know and need to find out, make a table to show a pattern, and solve the pattern sequence. Students write nine answers.

 The section of a larger General Certificate of Secondary Education math review requires pupils to summarize numerical data presented in a frequency table. Scholars determine the number of data points, the range, the mean, and the...

In this problem solving worksheet, 2nd graders solve and complete 4 different problems that include counting different amounts of coins. First, they determine the number of nickels and dimes in each. Then, students determine the total...

Students explore problem solving strategies.  In this middle school mathematics lesson, students investigate the guess and test and make a table problem solving strategies.  Students work in pairs to apply the problem solving...

As part of a study of geometric patterns, scholars complete an assessment task determining the number of tiles needed to cover a tabletop. They then evaluate provided sample responses to see different ways to solve the same...

While creating models from data, pupils make decisions about precision. Exercises are provided that require linear, quadratic, or exponential models based upon the desired precision. 

When presented with categorical data, a two-way frequency table is a great way to summarize the information. Pupils organize categorical data using a two-way table, then use the tables to determine missing data and to calculate simple...

What makes a good best-fit line? In the 10th part of a 16-part module, scholars learn how to analyze trend lines to choose the best fit, and to write equations for best-fit lines to make predictions.

How many yellow Skittles® come in a fun-size package? Use candy color data to construct a bar graph and a pie chart. Pupils analyze bar graphs of real-life data on the Texas and Massachusetts populations. As an assessment at the end...

How many of the pupils at your school think selling soda would be a good idea? Show learners how to develop a study to answer questions like these! The lesson explores the meaning of a population versus a sample and how to interpret the...

What's the rule that makes it true?  A virtual function machine generates output values as learners submit the input values. Their job is to analyze the inputs and outputs for a pattern and write a function rule.

Don't assume your pupils understand assumptions. A teacher resource provides valuable information on inferences, assumptions, and conditions, and how scholars tend to overlook these aspects. It focuses on regression analysis, statistical...
