Explore the ways in which block color clip art can enhance your classroom. These bright printable color blocks come with five different teaching ideas that span graphing, sorting, and even bulletin board building. 

Your algebra learners will enjoy the real-life application of the three tasks presented here. They complete a table and a graph comparing the two options presented. One option is linear, while the other is exponential. After coming up...

Critical thinking is an important aspect of mathematics — it's time to put your brain to work! Use this assessment to challenge pupils and test their skills. Concepts assessed include function notation, factoring, completing the square,...

Connect linear equations, proportionality, and constant rates of change to linear functions. Young mathematicians learn how linear equations of the form y = mx + b can represent linear functions. They then explore examples of linear...

Students gather historical snow cover and temperature data from the MY NASA DATA Web site. They compare this data to data gathered using ground measurements from the ALISON Web site for Shageluk Lake. They graph both sets of data and...

Progress from proportional relationships to linear functions. Pupils first review concepts of proportionality covered in earlier grades. They then extend these concepts to linear functions, such as determining the slope of a...

But what if the function cannot be inverted? Pupils continue to work with inverses of functions using tables, graphs, and algebraic equations. They restrict the domain of non-invertible functions to make them invertible. Using...

Students examine various modes of transportation. They explore regional transportation options and discover options available in their area. Students survey types of transportation people use in their area. Using spreadsheet data,...

Making groups of groups can help to organize data. Classes use statistics to group themselves using descriptive adjectives. The objective is for learners to understand that grouping qualitative data is useful when the original groups are...

The battle of the sexes? Scholars first examine data on hurricane-related deaths and create graphical displays. They then use the data and displays to consider whether hurricanes with female names result in more deaths than hurricanes...

As the world population increases, demands on the carbon cycle also increase. A well-designed activity first explores the greenhouse effect and its impact on global warming. Further sections have pupils study the effect of greenhouse...

Here is a lesson outline that prompts elementary students to graph and analyze data regarding fish caught along the Hudson River. They will review vocabulary and complete 2 worksheets which can be accessed by clicking on the provided links.

Target C from the Smarter Balanced assessment for eighth grade is understanding the connections between proportional relationships, lines, and linear equations. A slide show includes items about graphing proportional relationships and...

Graph it! Investigate transformations with a graphing calculator. Pupils graph sets of linear functions on the same set of axes. They determine how changes in the equation of a linear function result in changes in the graph.

Young scholars calculate and graph the diving depths of various types of whales. They cut out and glue whale pictures on a worksheet to represent the diving depths for five whales, and discuss how people use graphs to communicate.

Eighth and ninth graders combine pairs of linear equations by multiplying and either adding or subtracting. They find the value of x in the pair of equations. They use substitution to find the value of y. Students use graphing to solve...

Are you tired of answers without understanding? Learners can give a correct response, but do they really understand the concept? Have young mathematicians think deeper about linear functions, angles, and formulas in algebra....

Young scholars determine the mass of various objects. In this integrated math and science lesson, students use an arm balance to compare a known object to a combination of washers with a fixed weight. Young scholars record data,...

Students sort and graph various types of pasta. Using pasta construction paper patterns or real pasta, they sort the pasta by color, size, and type, and record the data on a graph.

In this statistics lesson, 11th graders are asked to calculate the percentiles, quartiles and cumulative frequency given different graphs and data. There are 6 questions with an answer key.

Students relate the concepts of linear functions to the game of monopoly. In this algebra lesson, students solve problems with ratio and proportion. They collect data and graph it.

Students construct a bar graph with a given set of data. They calculate the ratio and percent of the data. Students discuss alternate ways of graphing the data as well as multiple strategies to approach the task.

In this algebra activity, students solve linear equations through graphing and quadratic equations through factoring. There are 4 questions dealing with systems of equations.

Examine multiple ways to solve algebraic equations. Pupils will generate a problem solving strategy that addresses the prompt given by the teacher. They will then share their problem solving strategy with the class. Graphic organizers,...
