A Closer Look: Unemployment

Take graphing outside and make a giant coordinate plane to plot your human points. Young graphers are each given a coordinate for a particular shape and asked to make the geometrical shapes one by one. Those not plotted are to write down...

The teacher demonstrates how to use a graphing calculator to create box-and-whisker plots and identify critical points. Small groups then create their own plots and analyze them and finish by comparing different sets of data using box...

Sal helps with data organization in this video, which focuses on stem and leaf plots. Clarifying that "this is just one of many, many, many ways to visualize data that you will run into in your mathematical or statistical futures," he...

We have calculators, so why do we have to do this by hand? The video takes viewers through graphing scientific data by hand to create a scatter plot. The process includes labeling axes, writing an appropriate title, determining a scale,...

Box and whiskers have more to do with data than they do with cats! A video lesson describes how to plot, analyze, and compare box plots. Mathematicians first learn to create a box plot and then how to use information about the quartiles...

They say a graph is worth a thousand points. The interactive allows users to graph a wide variety of functions and equations. Using the included keyboard or typing directly into the list, learners determine the graph of a function....

The instructor illustrates an approximate graph to plot the terms of this word problem. There are several parts on this graph that need to be identified before plotting. The instructor does a good job explaining the word problem as she...

No scatter brains here—only graphs! A thorough video lesson begins by describing the process of plotting data to create a scatter plot. The instructor goes on to explain how to draw a line of best fit and then use it to make some...

Middle and high schoolers use a spreadsheet to graph data. In this graphing instructional activity, learners determine how two parameters are correlated. They create a scatter plot graph using a computer spreadsheet.

Viewers will learn how to graph lines, such as y=2x+1. The instructor emphasizes the relationship between the x and y variables, creates an x/y table, and finally graphs the equation. A total of three examples are given in this video.
