Reading Graphs

What do those points on the graph mean? The 10th lesson in a series of 22 presents proportional relationships as graphs. Class members interpret various points of the graph — including the origin — within the context of the problem....

Students study how graphs can help us make predictions and coordinate graphs to tell stories about numeric pattern relationships. In this interpreting graphs lesson plan, students graph coordinate points. Students create a graph to find...

If only there was a graph to show the distance traveled over a period of time. Given distance-time graphs, pupils read them to determine the answers to questions. Using the distance and time on a straight line, scholars calculate the...

In this data analysis worksheet, young scholars interpret data in 5 problems involving graphs, tables, and scatterplots. Students construct 1 stem and leaf plot and find the mean, median, and mode of a data set.

Making money is important to teenagers. It is up to your apprentices to determine how much two wage earners make with their after school jobs. Participants work with a table, an equation, and a graph and compare the two workers to see...

In this interpreting a line graph activity, learners read a graph and answer a question. Students are taken through the problem solving process by being asked to understand, plan, solve and look back at the end of the activity and...

I like algebra, but graphing is where I draw the line! Worksheet includes three multiple-part questions on interpreting and drawing line graphs. It focuses on the abstract where neither axis has numbers written in, though both are...

Interpreting graphs of functions is addressed in a short worksheet. Distance as a function of time is sketched on a graph, and a few quick questions ask about their meaning. This would make a good short assessment, or a nice worksheet to...

Working independently or in teams, your class practices connecting graphs, formulas and words. This lesson includes a guided discussion about distance vs. time graphs and looking at how velocity changes over time.  

Guide high school meteorologists through a detailed examination of oxygen concentration data. The learners analyze a line graph containing logarithmic data and employ the use of a graphing calculator. A comprehensive worksheet and links...
