Explore the power of mathematics through this two-week statistics unit. Pupils learn about several climate-related issues and complete surveys that communicate their perceptions. They graph both univariate and bivariate data and use...

The shortest distance from point A to point B is a straight line—or is it? Young scholars determine the shortest route either along a circular path or through the center of the circle. Learners gain a unique perspective on arc length and...

Unlock the mystery behind seasonal change with a collection of worksheets and activities. Whether they are drawing pictures of Earth's orbit around the sun or graphing the temperature and daylight hours of different locations...

This fun activity guides learners through an exploration of the effects of replacing f(x) with -f(x), f(x) + c, k f(x), and f(x + c). Using graphing calculators, students experiment with variations of the graph of y = x^2 to design a...

When it comes to rating educational calculators, this calculator is always near the top of this list. Now it's available as an app. There is a lot of calculator power wrapped up in this app. Not only is this a fully functioning...

We landed on the moon with less computing capabilities than you can find in this app! Here is a multiple function calculator that takes all the power you get from a handheld and adds the wonderful large screen that only a tablet can...

Math whizzes explore dilations. They use matrices to perform dilations centered at the origins of triangles and investigate the effect of scale factor on the size relationship between the pre-image and the image of a polygon. A link to...

Quick! Snap up the lesson. Scholars first use an online app to collect data on reaction times by clicking a button when the color of a box changes. They then plot and analyze the data by considering measures of center, measures of...

Your learners combine their knowledge of real and imaginary numbers and matrices in an activity containing thirty lessons, two assessments (mid-module and end module), and their corresponding rubrics. Centered on complex numbers and...

Elapsed time is a skill developed by the single question that is the center of this activity. Fifth graders are asked to find out the time that is 2011 minutes after the beginning of 2011. This question addresses the standard that...

During a three-part lesson, learners make a cabbage juice pH indicator and use it to analyze the waste products of yeast after feeding them with sugar. The intent is to demonstrate how living organisms produce carbon dioxide, which is...

Eighth graders construct various machines and compare the work done by them.

High schoolers investigate the history of money as it was back then compare to now. In this algebra lesson plan, students analyze the type of money used in medieval times, the value of the currency and the coins used. They make a budget...

Students find different characteristics of the bell curve. In this statistics lesson plan, students analyze a family for a specific characteristic. They identify the shape, center, spread and area as they analyze the characteristic of...

Students create their own spreadsheet. They identify the different parts that make up a spreadsheet and organize their data. They practice using functions and formats.

Young scholars analyze data and graph the results of their surveys. In this statistics instructional activity, students create graphs using excel to make graphs to be able to better observe their data. They conclude how great we as...

Create trigonometric functions from circles. The first lesson of the module begins by finding coordinates along a circular path created by a Ferris Wheel. As the lessons progress, pupils graph trigonometric functions and relate them to...

Students demonstrate proper scientific observation skills. In this investigative science lesson, students make observations, record their findings and form conclusions in order to improve their scientific documentation and writing skills.

Learners analyze linear functions in this algebra lesson. They explore the meaning of slope and the slope-intercept form of a line as they investigate the effect changing parameters on the graph of a linear function.

Fourth graders observe, measure, and record data on the basic elements of weather over a period of time (i.e., precipitation, air temperature, wind speed and direction, and air pressure). Then, they make a barometer and keep record of...

Show your learners how to create tessellations using different polygons. This is achieved by having students make observations of polygons to find the ones that will tessellate.

Students examine soil samples and make observations. In this soil lesson, students participate in experiments to determine the components (mineral matter, organic matter, water air) in the soil. Students analyze a pie graph on the...

Fourth graders make models of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks out of different types of candy and cookies.

Students collect and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, students define and calculate the range, median and standard deviation. They identify reasons for a skewed distribution.
