Combine linear equations and a little creativity to produce a work of art. Math scholars create a design as they graph a list of linear equations. Their project results in a stained glass window pattern that they color.

What do clocks and Ferris wheels have in common? Your class can model their heights using trigonometric functions! Scholars first use the Internet to find data on provided landmarks (famous clocks and Ferris wheels). Plotting this data...

Three days of race car design and driving through the classroom while guessing probability could be a third graders dream. Learn to record car speed, distances traveled, and statistics by using calculation ranges using the mean, median,...

Use coordinate grid paper to plot points and identify shapes that are already plotted on the paper by saying their coordinates. Pupils also measure the distance between points and play the game Battleship. There are several web links and...

Young scholars participate in graphing data.  In this graphing data lesson, students make a stem and leaf plot of their summer activities.  Young scholars create numerous graphs on poster boards.  Students discuss the...

Seeing is believing. Given several bivariate data sets, learners make scatter plots using the online SeeIt program to visualize the correlation. To get a more complete picture of the topic, they research their own data set and perform an...

Students work in pairs to test the strength of spaghetti strands. They collect and graph data to determine a line of best fit. Students create a linear equation to interpret their data. Based on the data collected, students predict...

For this plotting worksheet, students plot given ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. After plotting each ordered pair, students connect line segments in consecutive order. Upon completion of the graphing exercise, students will have...

In this graphing worksheet, students graph given ordered pairs on a coordinate plane and connect the dots in consecutive order. Upon completion of the graphing exercise, students will have created a picture on the coordinate plane. They...

Help plan a road trip with linear equations. Scholars consider two different rental car companies and write equations representing the cost for each company. They graph the system of equations to determine the conditions under which each...

Students graph linear http://www.activityplanet.com/review?id=180542equations. In this problem solving activity, students calculate slope and plot ordered pairs on a coordinate grid. Using a real-life example of a walk-a-thon, students...

Using a carousel activity, class members gain an understanding of the idea of inferences by using pictures then connecting them to mathematics. Groups discuss their individual problems prior to sharing them with the entire class....

Fifth graders construct graphs. In this graphing lesson, 5th graders learn about various types of graphs such as bar, line, circle, picture and stem and leaf plot. Students work in groups to create examples of each graph.

Students use geometry to create art. For this geometric graphing and patterns lesson, students create a helix-a-graph by plotting points on a grid that follow a certain pattern and analyze the drawing they created.

Elementary and middle schoolers explore scatter plots. In this graphing lesson, pupils work in small groups and use jigsaw puzzles to develop a scatter plot. Younger young scholars may develop a bar graph.

Students plot points on graph paper to make designs. They color their designs.

Students develop a line graph based on distances that an RCX car drives in specified amounts of time. They then are given a specific amount of time for the car to drive and be asked to extrapolate the car's distance from the graph.

Students write equations for their graphs. In this algebra instructional activity, students analyze graphs after they plot them using coordinate points and write an equation for the line given the slope and y-intercept. They express...

Students explore the concept of interpreting data. In this interpreting data lesson, students make a line plot of themselves according to the number of cubes they can hold in their hand. Students create their own data to graph and...

Ninth graders research burial practices that originated in West Africa and then migrated to the South Carolina and Ohio. They compare and contrast burial practices in both places. As students collect information and data, they organize...

Students create spreadsheets and bar graphs based on results of survey of favorite holidays.

Students describe relations and graph linear functions. After studying a geometric shape and a verbal statement, students contrast the differences between the verbal statement and the picture. They determine functions and graph...

Kids love to cook! What is a better place to learn mixed numbers than with a recipe? It is up to learners to decide how they want to divide this recipe in half. They may choose to model the mixed number and then divide the model by two....

Learners explore the concept of ordered pairs. In this ordered pairs lesson, pupils list the ordered pairs of a graph in the shape of a fish. They use their calculator to translate the fish using lists, then translate the fish left,...
