There is power in spreadsheet formulas and learners use this power to model quadratic data. Given a scatterplot of a parabola, pupils create formulas in a spreadsheet to populate the data. The formulas they use lead to an understanding...

Scholars find a pattern from a geometric sequence and write the formula for extending it. The worksheet includes a table to complete plus four analysis questions. It concludes with instructional implications for the teacher.

Scholars identify and continue the numerical pattern for the number of wheels on a train. Using the established pattern and its inverse, they determine whether a number of wheels is possible. Pupils finish...

Review the multiple methods of solving quadratic equations through an analysis of the discriminant. Scholars use the discriminant to determine the best solution method and then solve various equations. As a challenge, learners build...

Augment your math curriculum with posters detailing several concepts important to second grade math. Each poster features one math term from geometry, measurement, probability and statistics, computation and estimation, numbers and...

Back and forth, and back again. A presentation on harmonic motion would make a great backdrop for a directed instruction lesson in Honors Physics. It includes diagrams, formulas, graphs, and a few sample problems.

A math model is a good model. A slide show presents 10 sample items on modeling and data analysis. Items from Smarter Balanced illustrate different ways that Claim 4 may be assessed on the 8th grade math assessment. The presentation is...

Will it sink or will it float? Learners predict the outcome as they drop random objects into a container of water. Then, they keep track of the results and record the data in a t-chart to draw a final conclusion.

Scholars apply the concepts of box plots and dot plots to summarize and describe data distributions. They use the data displays to compare sets of data and determine numerical summaries. 

The midline of the mathematical model of the number of hours of sunlight is not 12 hours. Pupils use the modeling cycle to determine a function that will model the number of hours of sunlight at a location of their choosing. Using...

You'll never have to search for another worksheet again after downloading this extensive collection of Saxon math materials. With over 600 pages of example problems and skills practice exercises, this is a must-have resource...

Canada mines more minerals than any other country in the world. Scholars with a sample must determine how to get the mineral out while preserving as much of the rock as possible. They analyze the data and compare methodology while...

From baseball and tennis to capture the flag and four-square, here is a great document that will help you design your next unit on a sport-related activity. 

Round and round we go. Learners first complete a task on writing equations of circles. They then take part in a collaborative activity categorizing a set of equations for circles based on the radius and center.

Round and round they go ... where they stop, only scholars will know. By writing systems of equations, classes determine the number of cars a roundabout can handle given specific constraints. Systems use up to six variables and become...

We all drink milk as babies, so why can't we all drink it as adults? Examine the trend in lactase production on the world-wide scale as science scholars analyze and interpret data. Groups create pie charts from the data, place them on a...

Students insert raw data about Ad sales into an Excel chart. They use raw data in a letter to local businesses by using the Mail Merge program. They represent data using tables and graphs.

In this algebra worksheet, students find the domain and range of composite functions. They use graphics from an unspecified text to create the graph of the inverse of the drawn function.

First graders listen to the book "Mr. Betts and Mr. Potts" and examine the career of being a veterinarian. They categorize animals based on whether they could be house pets or not, develop a class pet graph, and list the various...

In this charts, graphs and tables worksheet, students view 3 different types of visual representations of data, make a list of 20 items and decide how the items can best be put together in groups to make a graph, chart or table. Students...

Learners create table to display GED Testing data located in paragraph provided by teacher, use information in table to create appropriate graph, and determine percentage difference between passing scores and failing scores.

In this frequency histograms worksheet, students examine bar graphs, histograms and tables.  They identify the model of information that best matches the statistics.  This three-page worksheet cotnains two multiple-choice...

Seventh graders visually represent and analyze data using a frequency table. They recognize what values in a data set are bigger by looking at a bar graph and answer questions about certain bar graphs and what they represent. Students...

Students create graphs of circles. In this geometry lesson plan, students use Microsoft Excel to create graphs. They construct the graphs using paper and pencil as well as the computer.
