Ninth graders assess the accuracy and reliability of current survey data and how it is represented. They design a survey, collect data, and use technology to analyze the data and present the results. Students examine scatter plots and...

This turn-key unit on ratios and unit rates walks through a 30-lesson unit on teaching proportional reasoning, with each lesson broken into detailed teaching notes and time allotments for all parts. An unbelievable resource when taken...

More people, more garbage! Young environmentalists graph population growth against the amount of garbage generated per year and find a linear model that best fits the data. This is an older resource that could benefit from more recent...

Use paper strips or models to relate division problems to division of fraction problems. Since the materials can be broken up, it helps them to show how they can complete repeated subtraction with fractions and not just whole numbers.

Learners explore reflection of polygons on a coordinate plane. They examine the relationships that exist between corresponding points and sides. 

Jason, Michelle, Sofia, and Willis all have a variety of toys. Use the chart provided to graph how many toys each child has. Who has the most toys? Who has the least? Help your learners study the graphs they create to better understand...

Middle schoolers discover how to relate collected data with a box and whiskers graph in a number of formats. They collect, organize, create, and interpret a box and whiskers graph. Pupils interpret the difference between sets of data,...

Fifth graders collect temperature readings over a period of time, enter the information into a spreadsheet and choose the appropriate graph to display the results.

Students round out their math skills with these ‘round the world' ideas. In this math and geography lesson, students try out time zone sticks, a polar race, and tic-tac-globe to engage them in learning more about globes and the...

Students examine scatterplots and determine the equation of a line using the slope-intercept method. Students interpret graphs, draw inferences, and sketch a curve of best fit for the graph. Based upon patterns in the graphs, students...

In this middle school mathematics/Algebra I learning exercise, students plot points on a coordinate plane.  The one page learning exercise contains six problems.  Answers are not provided.

Use measures of variance to compare and analyze data sets. Pupils match histograms of data sets to their respective statistical measures. They then use calculated statistics to further analyze groups of data and use the results to make...

Students linearize data to determine if an exponential model is suitable. In this linearizing data to determine if an exponential model is suitable lesson, students graph the residuals of sets of data that appear to have an exponential...

Students identify different types of functions and units of measurements. In this statistics lesson, students will collect data, graph their data and make predictions about their data. They plot a linear regression graph.

In this van Allen Radiation Belts instructional activity, students are given the formula for the field line of the Earth's inner magnetic field. Students use this equation to find the polar coordinates of a field line in the van Allen...

In this linear equations instructional activity, students solve 24 short answer problems about slope. Students find the slope of a line given a table, graph, two points, and the intercepts.

Learners solve systems of equation through graphing. In this algebra lesson plan, students solve linear equations and analyze the result to figure out if there is one solution, no solution or infinitely many solutions. They graph their...

Middle schoolers plot points on a coordinate grid.  In this coordinate plane lesson, students use a coordinate grid to locate the perimeter points of pictures, identify quadrants and use the coordinate points to draw the picture on...

In this algebra worksheet, students investigate the coordinate plane through graphing, plotting and identifying the different quadrants. They identify vertical and horizontal lines in the coordinate plane. There are 10 questions with an...

In this Algebra I worksheet, 9th graders use the slope and y-intercept to graph a linear equation and fill in a table with the coordinates of the five points plotted.  The seven page worksheet contains fourteen problems. ...

Students identify the axes, quadrants of the coordinate plane and plot points on the plane. They take notes on the coordinate plane. Students and teacher go over examples of the coordinate plane. As an independent practice students...

Young scholars analyze the number of times each letter in the alphabet is used in the names of the states. In this statistics lesson, students create a stem and leaf plot, box and whisker plot and a histogram to analyze their data.

Learn how to identify the diameter and circumference of a circle. Then, collect data on a circle and relate it to the diameter and circumference of a circle. Last, plot data and find the line of best fit.

Students gather data about the weather in Nome, Alaska. In this Nome Temperature instructional activity, students create an excel graph to explore the weather trends in Nome.  Students will find the average weather and add a trend...
