Middle schoolers describe plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane. They solve functions on paper and using an online tool to plot points on a Cartesian coordinate plane creating lines and parabolas.

Add more points on the graph ... and it still remains a line! The 13th installment in a series of 33 leads the class to the understanding that the graph of linear equation is a line. Pupils find several solutions to a two-variable linear...

Point your class in the right direction in plotting points with three activities that give scholars a chance to learn about and practice plotting points on a coordinate plane. They draw figures on the coordinate plane and list out the...

More than just data, scatter plots are full of information that can be used to answer a variety of questions. This activity uses a plot with information about bird egg sizes to answer questions about the relationship between length and...

Students make a table and plot their data on a graph. In this algebra lesson, students graph piecewise functions using the given equations along with the restricted domain. They calculate the rate of change.

Students use a shower curtain to represent a coordinate plane and then physically demonstrate their understanding or ordered pairs as they move from place to place.

The plot thickens to get a functional understanding. After a short review of plotting points on the coordinate plane, class members learn the difference between functions and relations in the second lesson in a series of nine. They...

Graph a relationship to find out if it is proportional. The instructional activity introduces the criteria for determining whether a relationship is a proportional relationship based on its graph. Pupils graph relationships and determine...

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...

The teacher demonstrates how to use a graphing calculator to create box-and-whisker plots and identify critical points. Small groups then create their own plots and analyze them and finish by comparing different sets of data using box...

Students investigate graphing. In this graphing instructional activity, students survey the class and create graphs to reflect the data collected.

Young scholars investigate linear functions. In this mathematics lesson, students plot points onto a graph by solving the equations y=x and y=mx+b by being given numbers for x and solving for y.

To plot a point in the coordinate plane, you first need a coordinate plane. Pupils learn to draw an appropriate set of axes with labels on a coordinate plane. They must also determine a reasonable scale to plot given coordinate pairs on...

So many methods and so little time! The efficient method of graphing a linear equation depends on what information the problem gives. Pupils learn three different methods of graphing linear equations. They graph equations using...
