In this eighth grade mathematics worksheet, 8th graders are presented with questions indicative of those on the eighth grade mathematics examination.  The twelve page worksheet contains six free response questions that cover a...

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...

Students create a matrix of the vertices of a triangle and produce new matrices that dilate, translate, rotate, and reflect the original triangle. After multiplying each matrix by a new scale factor, they graph the new matrix and...

Students thread a piece of spaghetti through the holes in the cup. One person suspend the cup by placing each index finger approximately one inch in from the ends of the spaghetti.

Eighth graders experiment with building bridges of spaghetti, pennies, and a cup to determine how varying the number of spagetti pieces affects the strength of the bridge. They graph their results and interpret the data.

Use a worksheet to go over the basic concepts of relations and functions. Included are clear definitions and examples of relations, domain and range, and functions and the vertical line test.  However, the problems are pretty...

In this calculus worksheet, students sketch a curve using a given function. They take the derivative of a function and graph it. There are 10 questions.

High schoolers write the equation of a circle. In this geometry lesson plan, students check the solution of a coordinate pair by evaluating them. They graph the circle given the equation and radius.

Students work in pairs to measure their arm span and height and record them on a class chart. The class works together to create a scattergram to display the data. Class discussion focuses on interpreting the scattergram.

Young scholars manipulate a ball and explore quadratic functions. In this algebra instructional activity, students analyze the graph of a quadratic function. They identify quadratic properties.

In this Calculus learning exercise, learners use a graphing calculator to boost their understanding of functions and their graphs as they examine the properties of curves.  The forty-two page learning exercise contains one hundred...

Eleventh graders study osteoporosis and understand the relationship between calcium and bone mass.  In this investigative lesson students participate in an activity in which they graph and construct basic bone biology.

In this graph functions instructional activity, students complete several activities to help them graph functions. Students use the table and the graph to complete the questions. Students also answer two test prep questions.

Students explore linear graphs, the parabola and the rectangular hyperbola.

This WebMath site provides an interactive 'solvers' to plot x and y coordinates on a graph.

Students learn how to plot points on a Cartesian graph. The tutorial explores the algebra concept through notes, examples, and practice exercises.

Purplemath offers an in-depth lesson on the Cartesian plane. The lesson discusses how to plot points and gives information about the four quadrants. Example problems are given on plotting points and determining the quadrant in which to...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Here you will learn how to convert and graph complex numbers in trigonometric or polar form using the polar coordinate system, which is similar in some ways to (x,...

Use this interactive applet to input a series of (x, y) ordered pairs and plot them. Parameters such as minimum and maximum value, minimum and maximum y value, and x- and y-scale can be set by the user or determined by the applet.

Descriptions of x- and y-coordinates are presented, followed by an interactive game that demonstrates how to plot points on the coordinate plane. Examples and exercises are provided for practice.

Khan Academy: Coordinate plane: plot ordered pairs practices plotting an ordered pair on the x (horizontal) axis and y (vertical) axis of the coordinate plane.

In this activity, students' will record the x- and y-coordinates of a rod moving in a figure-eight pattern. They will then use the recorded motion information to separately model the x- and y-motion as a function of time. They will plot...

A scatterplot is a type of data display that shows the relationship between two numerical variables. Each member of the dataset gets plotted as a point whose x-y coordinates relates to its values for the two variables.

At the end of this lesson about the coordinate grid, students will be able to identify x- and y-axes, point of origin, quadrants, coordinates, and ordered pairs, and read, interpret, and plot points in any of the quadrants.
