Students analyze different data in percentage form. In this statistics lesson, students plot data using box-plots, dotplot, and histogram. They compare and contrast the collected data using the boxplot.

Fifth graders read postcards and find their locations on maps. They use the pictures and text on the postcards to write about imaginary vacations. They compute the mileage and compare it to TripMaker data.

In this patterns in nature worksheet, students read about the Fibonacci Spiral, then follow the directions to plot one on the graph paper and draw the spiral, with links to more information.

Slow and steady wins the race? In the assessment task, scholars calculate the rates at which different snails travel in order to find the fastest snail. Hopefully, your class will move much more quickly in finishing the task!

Use this task as an exit ticket for your eight graders during the geometry unit. All they need to do is identify the coordinates of a point reflected over y=2000. 

Students complete time and distance problems. Using appropriate problem solving strategies, students determine when a helicopter will catch a cruise ship. Students write a summary of their solution process. They complete a graph to...

Third graders enter the results of their survey on a spreadsheet. They construct a bar graph showing the results.

Compose and decompose sets of 13 and 14 and compare sets of each with your little learners. They use objects to construct sets of 13 and 14, record their answers, and compare sets in several different ways.

Students use the DrScheme program to create graphics for clip art. Using graphics, they plan their designs using basic shapes, plotting its positions, and studying the relationships between points. By plotting the necessary data on...

Middle schoolers graph data of sports figure running time using x-axis y-axis to find slope of trend line, mathematically find the interpolated and extrapolated values for data points. Using the information they make predictions.

Young scholars manipulate a ball and explore quadratic functions. In this algebra lesson, students analyze the graph of a quadratic function. They identify quadratic properties.

Students observe pictures of plants and forests. They observe their own plants in a plot of land especially for them. They are to identify the plants in the photographs they saw.

Ninth graders investigate the Cartesian coordinate plane.  In this Algebra I lesson, 9th graders explore the coordinates of a drawing of a fish and examine the effects of moving the drawing on the ordered pairs. Students predict the...

Students show their knowledge of properties of objects as it pertains to sorting and creating patterns. In this food pyramid power lesson, students show their ability to use whole numbers in different representations by appling...

Young learners explore friction. They view a video or DVD (bibliography provided) and define terms related to friction, and work in groups to experiment with the effects of friction on speed and motion using ramps and toy cars.

Students construct a car with the longest roll using a ramp. They construct Lego cars, modify the wheel sizes and car configurations to evaluate which car design rolls the longest distance, develop a graph, and complete a worksheet.

Students map data on employment in wood products manufacturing in Oregon counties. In this Oregon forest instructional activity, students discover the percentage of people employed in the forest manufacturing industry. Students create a...

Third graders focus on state birds as they learned absolute location (latitude/longitude) of each state, as well as their relative location (bordering states).

Sixth graders develop an understanding of Christmas traditions of other countries and well as the United States. They discover the meaning of other holiday celebrations and utilize computers and other technology as an integral part of...

Students student the concept of bycatch, the act of unintentionally catching certain living creatures using fishing equipment. They determine the difference between bycatch and target creatures. They discover what species become bycatch...

Young scholars locate the many forests located in Oregon. In groups, they use the internet to research employment data on wood products made in the state. They discuss how looking at information presented in a different way can change...

Practice creating line plots (dot plots) from data sets. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a tutorial video, or receive hints.

Generate a worksheet for practice in how to plot coordinate pairs as you copy an image. Choose an image, the type of grid, the number of quadrants, and the layout, then download your worksheet in PDF format.
