Sixth graders explore and discuss the effectiveness of magnets in different situations. In this math lesson, 6th graders discuss rate and graphs after exploring with magnets using different restrictions on the magnets. They analyze their...

The Diary of a Wimpy Antenna? In the last installment of a six-part series, your class constructs a model of a radio antenna and tests its torque. Pupils use the results to design a better model that resists bending and twisting forces.

Using a Smart Board, or a plain ol' white board or chalkboard, the teacher pulls up a grid and demonstrates how squares and rectangles can be divided up into equal parts. The class will get their own graph paper to draw shapes and divide...

Students interpret data from tables and then create a graph to show the same data in a different organization.

Third graders display information in a graph, table, and chart. In this data lesson plan, 3rd graders look at graphs, tables, and charts, discuss their importance, and make their own.

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.

Students identify the structure and key parts of tables and charts. They determine which data is meanjngful and make comparisons with the data. They describe the scope of the AIDS plague throughout the world.

Students explore data. They gather data and generate questions about the data in pictographs, tallies, tables, and bar graphs. Students use color tiles pulled by random to create their own bar graph. They discuss the bar graphs they...

Learners graph lines using the calculator. In this algebra instructional activity, students graph lines of equations in the form y=mx+b. They input equations into the TI Calculator and graph using the slope and intercept. They analyze...

Third graders develop their algebraic thinking by recognizing a variety of patterns using concrete objects, numbers, tables, and pictures. In this George and Sam Save for a present lesson, 3rd graders communicate their mathematical...

Time to show what you know about functions! The review concludes a series of nine lessons on the basics of functions. The problems included are modeled from the previous lessons. Pupils determine if a table represents a function,...

Use tables, graphs, and substitution to solve systems of linear equations. An envelope of sample problems is passed around the classroom, and each learner has the opportunity to solve the system in the envelope. This is a great way to...

Create tables of solutions of linear equations. A lesson plan has pupils determine solutions for two-variable equations using tables. The class members graph the points on a coordinate graph. 

Fifty-four flashcards make up a set to help reinforce math vocabulary. The set offers two types of cards; a word card printed in bold font, and a definition card equipped with an example and labels. Terms include capacity,...

The greater the latitude, the less of the Earth is north. Scholars graph the relationship between the latitude and the percentage of the Earth that is north of the latitude. Using the graph and the table, class members interpret values...

Double the fun of solving a linear equation with an activity that asks learners to first compete an assessment task graphing two linear equations to find the common solution. They then complete a card activity solving systems of...

Everything you could possibly want to know about quadratic equations, all in one resource. Instructors demonstrate how to translate between different forms of quadratics (equation, table of values, graph, verbal description) and finding...

Demonstrate how to measure the volume of liquids and solids immersed in liquid to your class. They observe a teacher-led demonstration, and in small groups construct a data table that demonstrates how many marbles were used and the...

How fast does water cool? First fifth graders will draw a line on a graph that predicts how fast they think water can cool from boiling. Then they plot the actual data on the same graph to see if their estimate was correct.

class members first work through finding the equation, table of values, graph, and key features of a linear function expressed verbally. Individuals then work through several more problems given different representations.

Determine the better deal. Pupils write the equation for the cost of printing tickets from different printers. They compare the costs graphically and algebraicaly to determine which printer has the best deal based upon the quantity of...

To examine mathematical functions in a modeling situation pupils combine quadratic and step functions to represent a presented scenario. They both graph and write a function to represent data shown in a table. 

Math modeling is made easy with the first installment of a 16-part module that teaches pupils to model real-world situations as linear relationships. They create graphs, tables of values, and equations given verbal descriptions.

Class members create a table of the number of chords that can be drawn given the number of points on a circle. Pupils analyze the data created, find a function to fit to it, and use the function to make further predictions.
