Effects of Parameter Changes
Students define properties of a quadratic equation. In this algebra lesson, students graph and factor quadratic functions. They write equations for polynomials, given a graph.
Curated OER
Gender and Income
Students investigate Income and gender preference. For this statistic lesson, students collect data of Income to see if one gender makes more than the other. Students examine the data and draw conclusions.
Curated OER
Graphing Data from the Chemistry Laboratory
Students graph and analyze data using a spreadsheet.
Curated OER
Calculating Distances in Two and Three Dimensions
Students use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students solve for the distances by calculating the different parts of the shape of a two and three dimensional shape. They reason by analogy.
Curated OER
How Much Will I Spend On Gas?
Students construct a linear graph. In this graphing lesson, students determine a monthly budget for gasoline. Students construct a t-chart and coordinate graph to display data. Resources are provided.
Curated OER
Area Explorations
Students explore the area of rectangles. They practice finding area by playing an onliine computer activity where they calculate the area of a rectangle to solve a problem.
Curated OER
Finding Area
Fourth graders explore how to find the area of a rectangular object. As a class, they discuss definition of area and strategies for finding area. The teacher models finding the area of an object by counting squares. Students observe...

Linear Functions
For this linear functions worksheet, students problem solve and calculate the answers to five linear equations associated with volume, point-slope forms, initial value forms and slope-intercept forms.
Curated OER
Functions and the Vertical Line Test
Students explore the concept of functions. In this function lesson, students determine if the graph is a function by using the vertical line test. Students use an applet to explore the vertical line test on a variety of graphs.
Curated OER
New York State Testing Program Grade 8 Mathematics Test
In this eighth grade mathematics worksheet, 8th graders are presented with questions indicative of those on the eighth grade mathematics examination. The twelve page worksheet contains six free response questions that cover a variety of...
Curated OER
Distance in Coordinate Geometry
Learners analyze distance and graphing. For this geometry lesson, students work problems on a coordinate grid calculating the distance. They apply the Pythagorean Theorem to their data and answer.
Curated OER
Graphing Parabolas and Circles
Students graph parabolas and circles. For this algebra lesson, students create a table of values and graph the coordinate pairs to create a graph. They graph a circle using the radius and center.
Curated OER
Four Contemporary Mexican and Chicano Plays-An Analysis
Students read use their five senses to discover Chicano plays.
Curated OER
Food Intake and Physical Activity
Fourth graders graph their estimations of caloric intake and caloric expenditures.
Curated OER
What's Your Line?
Fifth graders collect temperature readings over a period of time, enter the information into a spreadsheet and choose the appropriate graph to display the results.
Curated OER
Car Maze competition
Learners use graphs to calibrate an RCX car. They must then program the car to traverse a maze using their calibrations
Curated OER
RCX Car Line Graph
Students develop a line graph based on distances that an RCX car drives in specified amounts of time. They then are given a specific amount of time for the car to drive and be asked to extrapolate the car's distance from the graph.
Curated OER
Tomb Explorer/Temple Explorer
Fourth graders build an explorer vehicle which they program through an obstacle course to enter the tomb or temple to discover artifacts.
Curated OER
The Home Stretch
Students read the novel Stone Fox by John Reynold Gardiner. Using Lego RCX units, students build and program sleds to re-enact the "home stretch" of the National Dog Sled Race.
Curated OER
Linear Patterns in Data
Eighth graders extend their learning of graphing linear equations and are introduced to connecting patterns in tables and graphs to represent algebraic representations. They then determine patterns and extrapolate information from these...
Curated OER
Rate of Cooling Experiment
Ninth graders measure the insulation properties of different fabrics by immersing cans of water covered with fabric "socks" in an ice bath and measuring temperature changes. They then calculate heat loss and graph the data individually.
Curated OER
The Estimation Station
Students challenge "common knowledge" against newly learned estimation strategies and put those strategies into use. They consider variables in estimating different groups of objects and practice skills of representing numbers.
Curated OER
Laws of Motions
Seventh graders explore the Laws of Motion. They define friction and explain the concept of inertia. Students explain what happens when a force is exerted on an object that is in equilibrium. They state the second and third laws of motion.
Curated OER
What Pie?
Students practice making and interpreting pie graphs so they are better able to decide if a pie chart is the appropriate form of display. Students examine included overheads of different pie charts, and directions on how to make pie...
