What would your dream house look like? A cottage? A medieval castle? High schoolers enrolled in Algebra design the perfect house while using slopes to write equations for various aspects of the project.

Students identify the slope of an equation using various methods. In this algebra activity, students graph linear equations and calculate the slopes using the x and y intercept to solve the equations and graph the lines. They use the...

Young scholars investigate and solve linear equations using slopes. In this algebra lesson, students graph lines using the slope and y intercept. They also find the slope by rewriting their equation in to slope-intercept form from...

Students explain how to solve an algebraic word problem using correct grammar and punctuation.  In this math and writing lesson, students are given a word problem and must write down  directions to solve it. 

Seventh graders explore battle plans using grids. In this linear equation lesson plan, 7th graders see how math is used in battle. Students create a grid on the floor using tape and plastic army men to serve as the points. Students...

Students create a 3D vector field map of an electric field. In this physics lesson, students measure the voltage inside an aquarium with water. They present their findings and map to class..

Students construct a bridge that can hold 100 pennies. In this math lesson, students evaluate the strength of their bridges. They predict how much weight a bridge can hold based on its design.
