If you are beginning Laurence Yep's Dragonwings, this will provide activities for the first five chapters. The objectives include making connections to oneself and the world, organizing information and events, vocabulary acquisition,...

In this graphing practice activity, 5th graders plot squares on a graph with an x and y axis. Once students locate each square they must color a certain design in that box to create a larger picture.

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

Students explore the concept graphing data. In this graphing data lesson, students use weather data from their local weather and some other city and graph them. Students plot the local weather vs. another city. Students record...

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...

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....

Take the first step into graphing sequences. Learners set the starting number, multiplier, add-on, and the number of steps for a sequence. Using the inputs, the interactive calculates and plots the sequence on the coordinate plane. Users...

Spruce up graphing practice with an activity that has young mathematicians plot points on a coordinate plane, and then connect the points to create a Christmas tree.

Students build and program a car to drive a specific challenge distance.They must at the end of the lesson, have the car that stops the closest to a challenge distance.

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...

A festive math worksheet hones graphic skills and keeps the season bright! Young mathematicians join points in the order they were graphed to create a snowflake picture.

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

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

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...

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.

Pupils design informational materials to educate people on the importance of matching a new pet to the family's lifestyle and living arrangements. Students use critical thinking skills to make a decision on the appropriate choice for a...

In this motion graphs worksheet, high schoolers learn about how motion of objects can be described using a graph. Students then answer 10 fill in the blank, 10 short answer, and 5 problems to solve.

Students draw line graphs. In this math lesson, students interpret minimum wage data and graph the data in a line graph. Students predict the next minimum wage and figure the earnings for a 40 hour work week for someone earning the...

Fourth graders conduct surveys to collect data. They analyze and interpret the data, then determine which type of graph is appropriate for the data. Students use the data to make predictions, discover patterns and draw conclusions...

Fourth graders investigate the concept of graphing and comparing different types of data using pictographs, line graphs, scatter plots, etc... They gather data and make interpretations while examining the medium of how it is displayed.

In this math instructional activity, students identify the location of pictures on a coordinate plane. They write some answers as an ordered pair. They read ordered pairs and identify the picture at a specified location. Six problems are...

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 discuss vocabulary words and compare definitions. They read chapters 6-9 of the novel, Dragonwings, and discuss point of view, and complete a plot diagram. Then they review the four types of conflict and identify the conflicts...
