Manufacturers' claims may or may not be accurate, so proceed with caution. Here pupils use statistics to investigate the M&M's company's claim about the percentage of each color of candy in their packaging. Through the activity,...

Sixth graders discuss how the scale and type of graph can change how the data appears. With a partner, they identify all the information about the graph in a specific amount of time and record them in a journal. To end the lesson, they...

Eleventh graders explore how data reported by country agencies can mislead the public intentionally or unintentionally. In this Cross Curricular activity, 11th graders analyze charts and graphs in order to draw conclusions. Students...

Students solve problems identifying the functions and inverses. In this algebra activity, students identify a one-to-one function, and perform the horizontal line test. They analyze data and graph their results on a graph.

In this math worksheet, students will create a "bridge" out of spaghetti and test it's strength with pennies. Students will record their results on a table and then graph the results.

In this algebra worksheet, young scholars calculate the slope of a line. They graph a linear equation given the slope and y-intercept and identify the slope and y-intercept given a linear graph. There are 15 questions.

Young mathematicians solve problems with polynomials. As they graph and analyze polynomial functions, learners define constant and finite, and determine the relationship between the constant set of differences and the slope of a linear...

In this one to one functions worksheet, students solve 27 short answer and graphing problems.  Students determine if a function is one to one given a graph or an equation.  Students graph functions to determine if it is one to...

Students investigate the nervous system and how physical distractions influence mental performance. They work in pairs as a researcher and subject and memorize a series of words with no distractions. After repeating the list of words,...

Eighth graders experiment with a bathroom scale, books and a plank to determine how weight readings change as distance is applied. They graph and interpret the results.

Label angles of parallel lines to analyze the angles created by a transversal and two parallel lines. They graph their lines and observe the similarity and difference in the angles.

Young scholars explore parabolas.  For this algebra and technology lesson, students construct the equation of a specific parabola, then take digital photos of real-life representations of these parabolas.  Young scholars create...

How are bubbles made? A simple experiment involving the construction of bubbles is available in this lab worksheet. A fun activity prompts pairs of learners to use dish soap in order to make bubbles. They keep track of the size of the...
