Fourth graders have a class discussion about fraction and negative numbers that were in the coordinates. They plot and read ordered numbered pairs. They transform ordered pairs and explore transformation of figures on a plane.

Students analyze and interpret graphs. In this graphing instructional activity, students view a video and construct their own graphs (line, circle, bar) from given sets of data. 

Does temperature affect the air pressure of a football? Young mathematicians look at the readings from a pressure gauge and determine if the balls are within regulation or are under inflated.

Students explore graping linear equations and their relevance to real life situations. After a teacher led demonstration, students work at their desks and on the board to plot points and determine the slope of a line. Students then...

Students create a tally chart. For this math and health lesson, students discuss healthy foods and create a tally chart showing the number of students who like to eat healthy foods.

Seventh graders publish a letter and spreadsheet using the computer. They build a three-dimesnsional object with construction paper and develop a Christmas object using coordinates on a graph. Students compose a response in their journals.

Learners conduct an experiment to study friction. They complete a KWL chart on friction and conduct an activity about the amount of friction on a moving object. To conclude, pupils create a table or graph of the data collected and they...

In this math worksheet, students learn to graph ordered pairs. Students examine a graph with 3 labeled points and tell the ordered pairs for each. Students also plot 8 ordered pairs on a graph they draw themselves.

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 download information from a NASA website into a database. They transfer it to a spreadsheet by completing the information and analyze the information. They determine temperature averages, mode, and graph the results. They write...

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.

Students graph coordinate points to create a picture of Snoopy. In this coordinate point lesson, students read a book and learn about Rene Descartes' invention, the coordinate grid.  Students graph a surprise picture on...

Students explore slope.  In this middle school mathematics lesson, students analyze and interpret graphs as they investigate slope as a rate of change.  Students use a motion detector to collect data as they walk at different...

Learn to solve functions by taking the derivatives. In this calculus lesson, students compare the graph of a derivative to that of the original function.

If you dropped a needle on a lined sheet of paper what is the probability that the needle will cross one of the lines on the page?  Surprise your class with how calculating this probability can approximate pi. This question is known...

In this Froot Loop to the Max worksheet, students complete 21 different sets of ordered pairs. They plot each of the ordered pairs listed on the sheet, connecting them in order from #1 through #21. Then, students determine whether it is...

Students select a geometric figure and find an example of the figure in their surroundings. They photograph the figure and write a proof to accompany it. They match photos to proofs.

In this math worksheet, students examine the graph in polar coordinates of r = f(θ). Then they sketch a graph of the modified functions indicated.

Students collect data. In this math lesson, students collect data about recyclable materials. Students develop a plan that will help the environment. Recycling plastic containers is discussed.

Students construct a linear graph. In this graphing lesson plan, students determine a monthly budget for gasoline. Students construct a t-chart and coordinate graph to display data. Resources are provided.

Young scholars explore how jelly beans are produced. They discuss the origins of the jelly bean and view a video about how jelly beans are prepared, tested, shaped, finished, and shipped and estimate the amount of jelly beans in a jar...

Young scholars explore transformations. In this math lesson, students plot points on a coordinate grid and construct shapes. Young scholars discuss movements on the grid as flips, turns and slides.

Students use a shoe box to create a seafloor model and use cardboard for layering inside of the shoe box to simulate the ocean floor. They probe the ocean floor to simulate sonar echoes. Finally, students graph their data to get a...

Students use graphs to calibrate an RCX car. They must then program the car to traverse a maze using their calibrations
