The highlight of this series is activitiy #4. Anatomy pupils examine slides of three unknown cells. With the function of the nervous system in mind, they consider the structure of each and try to guess which one is part of that system....

Explore methods for solving linear systems with your classes and introduce learners to using matrices as a viable method. Scholars are able to recognize situations where matrices are the efficient method of solving. Application...

This is a comprehensive lesson on creating and solving equations and systems of equations and inequalities. Problems range from basic linear equations to more complex systems of equations and inequalities based on a real-world examples....

Solve equations and graph systems of inequalities. Designed as a lesson to reinforce these concepts, learners revisit shading and boundaries along with solving linear inequalities.

Students solve linear systems using slope intercept form. In this algebra lesson, students solve equations by rewriting them in the form y = mx + b. They evaluate coordinate pairs to see if they are a solution to the problem. Students...

The class practices plotting points in a Cartesian coordinate system and a Polar coordinate system. They convert from one system to the other to get coordinates to plot. Then they play a Tic-Tac-Toe or Connect Four game to have a...

When algebra and geometry get together, good things happen! Given a system of inequalities that create a quadrilateral, learners graph and find vertices. They then use the vertices and Green's Theorem to find the area and perimeter of...

How do you build a polygon from an inequality? An engaging lesson plan challenges pupils to do just that. Building from the previous lesson plan in this series, learners write systems of inequalities to model rectangles, triangles,...

Students examine organisms that are composed of tissues, organs, and systems. They dissect a fetal pig and explore the assigned organs systems such as the skeletal, muscular, and circulatory organs. Students identify and explain their...

Here is a resource where algebra learners show their understanding of a system of equations involving a circle and a line. Once graphed, learners see two points of intersection, one where the ordered pair is read, and a second where...

Solve systems of equation using graphing! In this algebra lesson, young scholars use the TI to graph two lines and identify the number of solutions. They perform interactive graphing on the navigator.

Geometry learners touch the surface of how a global positioning system works. The end goal is to find the intersections of three different spheres geometrically and algebraically given their algebraic representations.

Coordinate planes and Cartesian graphing systems are the focus of this math lesson plan. Learners use video, internet activities, and engage in hands-on activities in order to explore coordinate planes. The materials needed for this...

Students explore the human anatomy. In this respiratory system instructional activity, students conduct an experiment to simulate the capacity of human lungs. 

Students create a model of the digestive system. For this human anatomy lesson the students examine features of the digestive system. The students perform an experiment.

Fifth graders discover how blood moves around the body.  In this circulatory system lesson, 5th graders feel their pulse before and after exercise.  Students count their heart rate. Students use the scientific method to record...

Put the graph into graphing and allow learners to understand the concept of point plotting and how it relates to data. The worksheet provides a nice way to connect data analysis to a graph and make predictions. The worksheets within...

How can matrices help us solve linear systems? Learners explore this question as they apply their understanding of transformation matrices to linear systems. They discover the inverse matrix and use it to solve the matrix equation...

Young scholars solve systems of equation through graphing. For this algebra lesson, students solve linear equations and analyze the result to figure out if there is one solution, no solution or infinitely many solutions. They graph their...

Young scholars explore photovoltaic systems. In this alternative energy lesson, students calculate solar panel efficiency and convert devices to solar energy using photovoltaic cells.

Students solve multi-step equations and apply the process of elimination. In this algebra lesson, students solve linear inequalities and equations using linear combination and evaluation. They graph their results on a number line...

Students solve systems of equations. In this algebra lesson, students identify the number of solutions to a system of equation. They solve using linear combination and graphing.

Young scholars identify and label the coordinate planes by the four different quadrants. In this geometry lesson plan, students plot an ordered pair correctly. They identify and differentiate between rational and irrational numbers.

Learners work collaboratively to gain a better understanding of the vastness of space by scaling down the solar system. They measure by inches, gain an understanding of space, and model the distances of the planets from the sun.
