As the reality of population decline across many species becomes real, pupils learn about the variables related to changes in populations. They complete a simulation of population changes and graph the results, then discuss limiting...

Pupils apply their knowledge of the shape and slope of graphs to interpret the motion of an object.  Three levels of difficulty provide plenty of practice with support thanks to the "Help Me!" button offered with each question.

After cutting down a forest to make a farm, how long would it take the environment to turn an abandoned farm back into a forest? Scholars study this exact scenario while they interpret many charts and graphs of the changing ecosystems as...

In this graphing worksheet, students read a graph, complete a chart about the information, and answer questions. There are fifteen questions in all.

Earth science super stars visit the National Earth Science Teachers Association's interactive website to glean information on the layers of the atmosphere. Data tables are provided for them to record what is collected. This assignment...

Three days of race car design and driving through the classroom while guessing probability could be a third graders dream. Learn to record car speed, distances traveled, and statistics by using calculation ranges using the mean, median,...

Explore linear and nonlinear models to help your class build their function skills. In a continuation of the previous lesson plan, learners continue to analyze and sketch functions that model real-world situations. They progress from...

An intersection is more than just the point where lines intersect; explain this and the meaning of the intersection to your class. The 26th segment in a 33-part series uses graphing to solve systems of equations. Pupils graph linear...

Who wants to go fast? The answer? Your sixth-grade science superstars! The complete resource offers the ultimate, all-inclusive playbook for mastering the important concepts of speed versus time; distance versus time; and how...

Section 9 of the 12 linked Saxon Math sections introduces the young algebrist to graphing periodic functions, creating graphs from quadratic roots, working with inequalities, and rational equations. Common among all the lessons is the...

Using the NASA website, class members try to determine if changes could be detected in cloud cover, temperature, and/or radiation measurements due to the lack of contrails that resulted from the halt in air traffic after the attacks...

Provide a continuous progression to linear and exponential functions. Pupils continue to work with the discrete functions known as sequences to the broader linear and exponential functions. The second unit in a series of nine provides...

In this interpreting graphs learning exercise, students read a graph containing data of rainfall and temperature, then complete 18 questions, interpreting the data.

Pupils read and interpret graphs. In this population lesson, students explore population and population density as they read several data graphs and respond to questions.

In this math problem solving worksheet, students examine a graph based on books read and use it to solve 2 problem solving questions and a test prep question.

Students practice plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane, see several categories of functions, including lines and parabolas, and read a graph, answering questions about the situation described by the graph

Double click that mouse because you just found an amazing lesson! This cross-curricular Ornithology lesson incorporates literature, writing, reading informational text, data collection, scientific inquiry, Internet research, art, and...

High schoolers analyze environmental science data using Math. They do research about renewable energy, gather data, create graphs and interpret their findings. Then the group presents their arguments persuasively using their findings to...

Give your classes practice at modeling using quadratic models with a resource that uses area and integer problems to allow individuals to create second degree polynomials. Young mathematicians solve equations using factoring and then...

The 11 lessons in this educators' guide focus on using newspapers to develop critical reading skills in the content areas.

Looking for an application for step functions? This activity uses real data to examine piecewise step functions. Groups create a list of data from varying scenarios and create a model to use to make recommendations to increase...

Students make their own puzzle grid that illustrates the number of sit-ups students in a gym class did in one minute, then they make a histogram for this same data. Then they title their graph and label the scales and axes and graph the...

In this interpreting graphs learning exercise, students complete an on-line activity in which they read both a line graph and a bar graph. They answer questions about how many of each letter is shown on a line graph and how many of each...

In this reading the table graph worksheet, students read the graph and answer questions. In this short answer worksheet, students write answers to four questions.
