Students use the Live Access Server (LAS) to form maps and a numerical text file of snow cover for each continent on a particular date. They analyze the data for each map and corresponding text file to determine an estimate of snow cover...

Students reflect functions about the X-axis, Y-axis, and origin. They derive equations for reflected functions using the website www.explorelearning.com.

Students discover how often earthquakes happen in a region of their choice. In this science lesson, students use online resouces to help them do their investigations. Students make their own map of their region and show how many...

Third graders focus on state birds as they learned absolute location (latitude/longitude) of each state, as well as their relative location (bordering states).

Students recognize positive and negative numbers and perform mathematical functions.

Students collect data about lighting conditions around a room using a light sensor and RCX. They use software to upload and analyze the data in order to draw conclusions about light intensity in the room.

Students explore air and clouds by watching demonstration. They perform an experiment to measure air pressure changes.

Young scholars, together as a class, construct a Venn diagram of characteristics they see in two classmates. Then, they independently create another Venn diagram comparing/contrasting two characters from the story Charlotte's Web. They...

Presents an introductory lesson plan to teach students how to read and plot graphs and determine functions based on graphs.

A comprehensive guide for learning all about line graphs with definitions, their sections, how to read and create graphs, solved examples, and practice questions.

Contains plans for four lessons that use the book "The Watsons Go To Birmingham 1963" by Christopher Paul Curtis to teach about plot by asking student to graph events in the story. In addition to objectives and standards, this...

Practice reading and interpreting data that is graphed on line plots. The data graphed includes fractions. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints....

A good scatter plot has the independent variable on the x-axis and the dependent variable on the y-axis. Also, the scale of both axes should be reasonable, making the data as easy to read as possible. In these practice problems, we...

Explore even and odd numbers, fractions, counting, and line graphs with Scott amidst the olive and orange trees.

Line graphs are shown and explained here. You can learn what kind of data is best represented using a line graph. There are also line graphs with questions and answers available to help you learn how to read them.
