It's scary how fast bacteria can grow — exponentially. Class members solve exponential equations, including those modeling bacteria and population growth. Lesson emphasizes numerical approaches rather than graphical or algebraic.

Seventh graders relate the Pythagorean theorem to the real world. For this algebra lesson, 7th graders identify important properties of the Pythagorean theorem and use it to solve word problems. They create a step by step plan to...

Students investigate the properties of the Pythagorean Theorem. In this geometry lesson, students identify the missing angles and sides of a right triangle. They label the hypotenuse and legs of a right triangle correctly.

Students calculate the distance of two objects, and rewrite numbers using scientific notation. In this algebra lesson, students solve linear equations and plug the values back into the equations to check their answers. They write small...

Learners subtract monomials and polynomials by combining like terms. In this advanced subtraction activity, students define the rules and properties for subtraction of polynomials. They apply the rules for addition to help with the rules...

Students are introduced to the construction geometrically of parabolas. Using a software program, they identify lines, segments and midpoints. They label the parabolas properties and characteristics and use a formula to determine the...

Tenth graders investigate the theorems of angles and lines to prove triagle sum theorem. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders discuss the theorems of triangles and how it is used to solve for missing sides or angles. They review how two...

Students become familiar with how to get information from the Internet. In this math and technology lesson plan, students measure objects on a measurement sheet found on a web site. They practice using a standard unit of measurement...

Students examine and compare traits of humans and crocodiles.  In this crocodile lesson students use a ratio to estimate the height of a person and compare that to a crocodile. 

High schoolers explore the concept of circles as they construct a circle using a program such as Cabri Jr. Learners construct a chord and a diameter that are perpendicular, then measure the bisected chord and notice that both sides of...

Pupils investigate segments in a triangle by constructing a triangle using Cabri Jr. They construct segments within the triangle that lie on the midpoints of the triangle's sides. Learners then compare the slope of base of the triangle...

Tenth graders explore and define the radius and diameter of a circle. In this geometry lesson plan, 10th graders calculate the circumference and area of a circle using real world objects and shapes. They discuss chords and lines...

Students design their own Science experiment. In this science experiment lesson students create a hypothesis related to matter and test it. They displayed their data in a graph.

Properties about triangles are explored in this lesson. Geometers make conjectures about the length of a triangle's sides, the length of the angles in relation to the length of the sides, and the measure of the exterior angles of a...

Ninth graders solve problems involving exponential functions. In this algebra lesson, 9th graders apply their knowledge of exponential properties to add, multiply, divide and subtract exponential functions. They perform these operations...

Students explore the concept of multiplying polynomials. In this multiplying polynomials lesson, students watch a video clip about basic math skills. Students work in groups on an exploration about why a binomial squared equals a perfect...
