As physics masters view this presentation, they learn how nuclear power is used in submarines. They use Google Maps to plot a course through the ocean and calculate the time required for surfacing and traveling. They learn about fission,...

In this 2-day lesson focused on exponents, middle schoolers will cross the curriculum by engaging in science, history and language arts activities. Exponential growth will be explored using grains of rice on a chess board. Exponential...

Teach collaboration and communication skills in addition to graphing logarithmic functions. Scholars in different groups graph different logarithmic functions by hand using provided coordinate points. These graphs provide the basis for...

Move all rational functions—well, maybe. Learners investigate the graphs of the reciprocals of power functions to determine a pattern between the graph and the power. Pupils graph rational functions where transformations are clearly...

Ninth graders begin the instructional activity by watching a PowerPoint on the functions of cities. In groups, they use the internet to research various cultures throughout history and the cities that were formed at the time. They...

Students explore the concept of piecewise functions. In this piecewise functions lesson plan, students graph piecewise functions by hand and find the domain and range. Students make tables of values given a piecewise function. Students...

Graph polynomials and identify the end behavior of each polynomial function. The class differentiates between linear, quadratic, and other polynomial equations.

In this function worksheet, students identify the local maximum and minimum values and angle dimensions. This one-page worksheet contains six multi-step problems.

Pupils graph polynomial functions and analyze the graphs. They identify the inverse of the functions and find the domain and range. Learners will then label the functions as one to one and use the horizontal and vertical line test to...

Is there a relationship between powers and roots? Here is a lesson that asks individuals to examine the graphical relationship. Pupils create a table of values and then graph a square root and quadratic equation. They repeat the process...

Who does what? To develop an understanding of the balance of power between the US federal and state governments, class members research responsibilities in terms of legal systems, security issues, economic activities, lawmaking, and...

Young historians climb through the three branches of the US government in the third lesson of this five-part series. While reading the first three Articles of the Constitution in small groups, children write facts on paper leaves...

Young mathematicians learn to write algebraic equations. They solve and graph different polynomial functions with different powers. They then graph radicals and identify the domain and range.

Show learners the power of mathematics as they model real-life designs. Pupils graph a periodic function by comparing the degree of rotation to the height of a ferris wheel. 

Teams design and build a windmill, under budget, that can lift an object. The groups evaluate and reflect on their own design, then on those produced by other teams. The goal is to determine which design is the most...

Kids who take the Regents Exam really need to know a lot of information. This is a wonderful exam review tool that includes 26 pages of questions, charts, and suggested readings to help upper graders pass the test. It focuses on all...

Learners complete an activity, included, of the information on asymptotes and intercepts. They also solve and complete eight questions on graphing rational functions, file included. Finally, pupils summarize vertical asymptotes,...

Students examine the separation of powers in local and federal government. Using case studies, they review several instances of separation of powers. After reading the case studies, they write a brief opinion essays supporting their...

An informative resource gives scholars a look into why the US Constitution placed certain federal powers over that of the state. A variety of activities about constitutional clauses helps to create meaningful learning.

Employ proportional reasoning and algebraic understanding to a determine a real world math quandary. Intel has created a project based unit to engage learners in using algebra to describe the physical world. They will create equations,...

Use the power of a power property to solve exponential functions. The activity refers to  differentiating between multiplying or adding exponents to find the value, and how to find the product of a power of a power.

Pupils differentiate between exponential and power functions. They identify the base, exponent and properties of exponential functions. They also graph the functions using the TI calculator.

Math and science meet in this lesson on hybrid electric automobiles. This 24-page resource provides everything you need for teaching a lesson that compares the use of internal combustion engines to hybrid electric engines. Participants...

Explore scientific notation in this mathematics lesson. Young mathematicians explore multiple representations of large number in scientific notation through the use of models, visual representation and expanded form. The lesson provided...
