Young scholars 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 identify how to use a scatterplot to compare two sets of data to determine if they are related. Then they identify and describe the definition of regression line (the "line of best fit"). Students also identify how scientists...

In this Hubble's law worksheet, students use data for galaxies which include their distance and speed. Students make a graph to show the distance to each galaxy and the speed of each galaxy. They use their graph to answer 4 questions...

Through learning how to examine linear, quadratic, and exponential functions, students explore the effects of changes in parameters on the graphs of linear, quadratic, and exponential functions.  The lesson is designed to be a...

In this human population worksheet, students are given data about the size of the human population from the 1800s to 1999. They plot the data and answer critical thinking questions about the changes in human population.

Students construct a linear graph. In this graphing instructional activity, students determine a monthly budget for gasoline. Students construct a t-chart and coordinate graph to display data. Resources are provided.

Students explore the concept of line of best fit. In this line of best fit lesson, students find lines of best fit in examples about riding your bike home from school and dentistry. Students find two data points and find the line of best...

In this teen pregnancy worksheet, students use a scatter plot and cubic functions to solve word problems about teen pregnancy. Students complete 7 problems.

Sixth graders identify the x and y axes in a coordinate plane and identifies the coordinates of a given point in the first quadrant. They plot specific points in the first quadrant of the Cartesian coordinate system.

Students solve word problems using the correct math symbols. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI calculator to graph their equation and analyze it. They find the line of regression and use to draw conclusion.

In this math worksheet, students explore coordinate graphing by analyzing a graph which has points plotted on both positive and negative sides. Students locate the points indicated and write the ordered pairs. There are no instructions...

In this pre-calculus worksheet 3D, students determine if a function is even or odd. They sketch graphs of functions and find the inverse of functions. This two-page worksheet contains 18 problems.

Combine vectors and matrices to describe transformations in space. Class members create visual representations of the addition of ordered pairs to discover the resulting parallelogram. They also examine the graphical representation...

In this chemistry worksheet, students examine the given concept in order to apply in the laboratory setting. The sheet includes in depth background information.

Twelfth graders examine illustrations and animations on a Physlets CD in which they must describe motion, analyze graphs, and calculate initial velocity. The Physlet assists in providing active class participation in discussion.

What did you do over your summer vacation. Young wage earners must compare summer job options, and determine when each job earn the same amount and what that amount be. This be done by creating, graphing, and solving systems of...

In this polar coordinates worksheets, students change ordered pairs from rectangular form to polar form. They plot and label points and identify alternative coordinate pairs for given points. There are approximately 20 problems on this...

Students measure and graph temperatures. In this temperature field instructional activity students use a map to measure and plot field values and construct isolines and interpret the results.

Twelfth graders complete a unit of lessons on derivatives as they are applied to motion. They observe and discuss demonstrations, conduct an experiment involving a motion sensor, graph and analyze the results, and summarize their findings.
