A Contouring We Go
Students examine the built environment and infrastructures of their community by constructing contour equipment, using the equipment, and comparing their results to current topographical maps of the same area
Curated OER
Surfing the Waves
Students use online resources, including animations,to define the slope of a curve and how to calculate the slope. They solve 8 problems online, using the definition of the derivative of a function at a point to calculate slope of the...

Ancient Aqueduct Analysis Project
Let the class' knowledge of geometry flow like water in an aqueduct. Future mathematicians research ancient Roman aqueducts and consider the geometric concepts necessary in their construction. They then use GeoGebra to create models of...
Curated OER
Graphing Scatterplots
Students examine scatterplots and determine the equation of a line using the slope-intercept method. Students interpret graphs, draw inferences, and sketch a curve of best fit for the graph. Based upon patterns in the graphs, students...
Curated OER
Linear Progression
Young scholars use graphing calculators to graph lines and create tables of values. They perform an experiment using M&M's and slinkys, then create their tables based on their results.

Methane Hydrates – What's the Big Deal?
Have you ever tried to light ice on fire? With methane hydrate, you can do exactly that. The ice forms with methane inside so it looks like ice, but is able to burn. The lesson plan uses group research and a hands-on activity to help...
Curated OER
Exploring Geometric Figures
Tenth graders explore mathematics by participating in hands-on daily activities. Learners identify a list of different shapes and classify them by shape, size, sides and vertices. They utilize tangrams and geometric pieces to gain...
Curated OER
Mystery Photo
Young scholars research the effects of soil erosion and pollution in the soil.
Curated OER
How Has Math Evolved?
Eighth graders pick a topic or person to research related to the history of mathematics. They brainstorm and create a concept map, using the multimedia software inspiration, about what they are researching and want to examine. They then...
Curated OER
Linear Equations Project Fram
Students engage in a lesson that focuses on the concept of linear equations. They practice solving problems with a variety of problems and graphing the solution set for each. Students write a summary paragraph about two methods of...

Comparing Topographical Maps to 3-Dimensional Models
High schoolers apply knowledge of topographical maps and how computer programs are used to make 3-D models of areas that humans have never visited. They view a Mars Canyon movie, then map the canyon.
Curated OER
Historical Geography Scavenger Hunt
High schoolers are told that Geography is the science that deals with the differentiation of the surface of the earth due to the influence of things like population, vegetation, geology, and land use. They explore the Geography Basics...
Curated OER
Technology - Chaos Theory Lab
Ninth graders gain an understanding of Chaos Theory that exists in one's everyday environment.
Curated OER
Coffee Plantations
Students explore coffee and coffee plantations. They view a Power Point presentation of what coffee looks like, where it grows, and how it is harvested. They discuss the environmental impacts on growing cofee and how it compares to...
Curated OER
Confusing Colors!
Fourth graders collect data, graph their data, and then make predictions based upon their findings. They's interest is maintained by the interesting way the data is collected. The data collection experiment is from the psychology work of...
Curated OER
Erosion Exploration
Ninth graders investigate the factors that increase soil erosion. They identify how the environment is affected by erosion. In small groups, 9th graders research erosion problems in various locations. Groups brainstorm ideas to help...
