Adjust this lesson to fit either beginning or more advanced learners. Build a scatter plot, determine appropriate model (linear, quadratic, exponential), and then extend to evaluate the model with residuals. This problem uses real-world...

Students plot activities for a 24 hour day. They record their information on a spread sheet program. Students list categories they use and write equations for cells that add cells of each category together. Students create a pie chart of...

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

Students graph the varying sizes of dinosaurs.  In this math and dinosaur lesson, students view dinosaur models and compare the different shapes and sizes of the dinosaurs.  Students complete a dinosaur math activity, read The...

In this math worksheet, students perform basic operations all the way up to precalculus. They graph, identify slopes, plot data and analyze it. There are 34 questions.

Young scholars investigate functions and their transformations. They move absolute value functions around on the coordinate plane, and then define the transformation and plot the new graph. The table feature of the TI-calculator is used...

High schoolers solve logarithmic equations. They graph and plot logarithmic functions and use algebraic steps and the calculator to simplify and solve the equations.

Learners analyze plotted data in this statistics lesson plan. They differentiate between skewed and normal data. They also explore and interconnect exponential growth and decay as it relates to the data.

In this problem solving worksheet, students read a story problem about the temperature at different altitudes. Students fill out an organization chart to understand the problem, plan a strategy, and then solve it.

Fourth graders decorate and use popsicle sticks as manipulatives to assist with their learning of probability. They utilize a worksheet imbedded in this plan to organize the results of their experiment. They make a stem and leaf plot...

Students investigate the migration route of one bird, Osprey B4, using information gathered from satellites to track birds over a two-year period. They coimpare their graphs with maps of B4's migrations that have been plotted by...

Young scholars determine the mass of various objects. In this integrated math and science lesson, students use an arm balance to compare a known object to a combination of washers with a fixed weight. Young scholars record data,...

In this cosmic bar graph worksheet, learners solve 2 problems using given bar graphs that plot the number of galaxies vs. the galaxy type and the number of gamma-ray bursts vs. the burst classification. Students find the fraction of...
