Why do Israel and Palestine have a history of conflict? Learners find out by participating in a simulation. They work through a scenario and take on one of 27–30 roles. They put themselves in the shoes of people from Israel, Palestine,...

Using three set of data that relate temperature to another variable, 10th graders will use graphs, tables, or equations to make predictions about data. Students will identify the relations as linear or non-linear. Students will define...

Learners are introduced to maps by examining the various types and practice using a key to find information. They each create their own map with a key and graph information. As a class, they read the story "Henny Penny" and share their...

Second graders collect data from their families about their reading habits and graph them. In this graphing family reading habits instructional activity, 2nd graders interview family members about their reading habits. They then use a...

Students explore the concept graphing data. For this graphing data lesson, students use weather data from their local weather and some other city and graph them. Students plot the local weather vs. another city. Students record...

Second graders examine how to make and read bar graphs. In this bar graph lesson, 2nd graders compare bar graphs to pictographs by looking at hair color survey data. They practice making a bar graph and finding the range of the data.

Students search the Internet to find a site that contains an amortization table and make a hypothesis about the results of changing time and rate. They examine the affects of time and rate on a mortgage and discuss the difference in the...

Students use gas mileage of different cars to create T charts, algebraic equations, and graphs to show which gets better mileage. In this gas mileage lesson plan, students use the graph to see which car they should buy.

Students solve linear equations using word problems. In this algebra lesson, students rewrite the word problems by identifying the important information. They make a table and graph their results to analyze it.

Learners research the solar cycle. In this Science lesson, students use the internet to investigate the solar cycle. Learners produce a spreadsheet and graph from the information collected.

Second graders rotate through a variety of stations designed to offer practice in manipulating data. They sort, tally and count items and then create bar graphs, tables, and pie graphs to record their findings.

In this data display learning exercise, students write 6 flavors of ice cream on pieces of paper. Students choose papers one at a time and keep track on a tally sheet. Students make a bar graph of the results.

Young scholars solve word problems using mathematical symbols. In this algebra instructional activity, students collect data and analyze it. They analyze the data using a table or graph after plotting the data.

In this linear equation activity, 5th graders complete the equations, and fill in the function tables, before graphing the equation on the coordinate planes in 4 problems . They use equations with variables to solve 2 problems.

Students collect real data on sound. In this algebra activity, students use a CBL and graphing calculator to observe the graph created by sound waves. They draw conclusion about the frequency of sound from the graph.

Students graph linear equations using intercepts, find y-intercept, find x-intercepts and graph linear equations that use horizontal and vertical lines.

Eighth graders investigate the concepts of probability while performing data analysis. They apply statistical methods in order to measure or predict some possible outcomes. The information is collected and graphed, 8th graders analyze...
