Ready to increase pupils' understanding of slope with an upward slope? Scholars use an interactive that allows users to move two points on a coordinate plane. The interactive then automatically calculates the slope, the slope-intercept...

Slope-intercept form ... perhaps it has something to do with slope and intercepts? An easy-to-use interactive lets users adjust the locations of two points on a line. The interactive automatically updates the slope-intercept form of the...

Are the Arctic ice caps really melting out of existence? Junior climatologists examine the statistics of ice decline through four math-based lessons. Each activity incorporates data, climate information, and environmental impact into an...

Students explore functions, function rules, and data tables. They explore terms of linear functions. Students use computers to analyze the functions. Students write short sentences to explain data tables and simple algebraic expressions.

Students study exponential functions. In this exponential growth lesson, students conduct a simulation in which a population grows at random but predictable rate. Students compare and contrast linear and exponential functions. Students...

How much energy is required to break apart an atomic nucleus and does it vary based on the type of atom? Scholars virtually experiment with a linear accelerator in order to answer these questions. They alter the voltage, length of the...

Students determine the cost of feeding dogs during the winter and summer months when using commercially produced dog food.

High schoolers convert from one system of linear measure to another, graphing data from a table to a coordinate graph, using a graph to make predictions.

Students use the bisection method to approximate the roots of a polynomial. They evaluate functions for a given point, graph linear and quadratic functions, and recognize the elements of polynomial expressions.

Students simulate hibernation with their stuffed animals. They predict the length of time of hibernation and type their math journal entries about sorting, graphing and draw pictures. They read bear hibernation stories.

Eighth graders calculate a system of equations to find the best ticket price for a ticket at a water park. They explain how the equations helped them make their decision on the best price.

Students investigate a fossil site and diagram a site map. They role play as paleontologists.
