Model the difference between the graphs of discrete and continuous functions. Scholars examine two scenarios and construct graphs to model the situation. They then compare their graphs that illustrate the subtle difference between these...

Does a linear or exponential model fit the data better? Guide your class through an exploration to answer this question. Pupils create an exponential and linear model for a data set and draw conclusions, based on predictions and the...

Is there a relationship between powers and roots? Here is a lesson that asks individuals to examine the graphical relationship. Pupils create a table of values and then graph a square root and quadratic equation. They repeat the process...

Students create and analyze a weather-related data table and a thematic map based upon information provided.

Natural human interest in patterns and algebraic study of function notation are linked in this introductory unit on the properties of sequences. Once presented with a pattern or situation, the class works through how to justify...

If you can multiply binomials, you can factor trinomials! This is the premise for a lesson on factoring. Pupils look for patterns in the binomials they multiply and apply them in reverse. Examples include leading coefficients of one...

Students explore satellite data and graphing. In this weather data analysis math and science lesson, students analyze NASA satellite data to draw conclusions about geographical areas where precipitation might have happened. Students...

Life is only a reflection of what we allow ourselves to see. The lesson includes three experiments on light reflection, light refraction, projection, lenses, and optical systems. Each experiment builds off the ones before and...

Are you rooting for your high schoolers to learn about rational exponents? In the third installment of a 35-part module, pupils first learn the meaning of 2^(1/n) by estimating values on the graph of y = 2^x and by using algebraic...

Demonstrate the meaning of an absolute inequality using three different methods. Here, scholars explore absolute value inequalities through graphing, number line distance, and compound inequalities. Pupils complete various activities to...

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

A series of math and science activities feature M&M's® as manipulatives to help kids work through equations. The resource includes exercises on finding averages, percent of compositions, moles in chemical reactions, genotypes and...

In this graphing and analyzing worksheet, 9th graders first state if each graph represents a linear or nonlinear relationship. Second, they create a difference table for each set of data presented and determine whether it represents a...

In this data tables worksheet, students make and interpret data tables given data about magazine sales. They categorize their data, complete their data table and answer questions about their data.

Students investigate different online tutorials as they study graphing. In this graphing lesson, students apply the concept of graphs cross curricular and use it to make predictions. They define the purpose and theories behind graphs.

In this scatter plot worksheet, students examine tables and write a linear equation that matches the table.  Students graph linear equations.  They read scatter plots, determine the trend line, and write a linear equation to...

Young scholars 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...

In this line graph worksheet, students use data given in a table and assign axes, make a scale, plot data and make a line or curve on their constructed graphs.

In this range and mode worksheet, students analyze the data table and graph that show numbers of books read. Students use the data to answer 4 questions.

Stjudents examine the statistics in a Canadian publication for use in graphs. They develop their own questions based on tables and graphs found in this publication..

Learners compare and contrast two routes selected for a virtual field trip. They create a data table of educational activities, lodging, and meal costs using Microsoft Excel software.

Students explore the concept of interpreting data. In this interpreting data lesson, students make a line plot of themselves according to the number of cubes they can hold in their hand. Students create their own data to graph and...
