Give the class an opportunity to practice using tally marks as a way to collect data. As you progress through the slide show, learners tally up the number and types of pets they see, they then use their data to create a tally chart....

Continue a study of calculus by using a slideshow to introduce the concept of continuity. After defining the term, the presentation provides examples of functions that are discontinuous and introduces different types...

Determine whether the point is just right. The interactive allows participants to input a constraint equation. Pupils pick a point and determine whether it is too big, not too big, or just right for the constraint. Using the graphing...

Which travels faster, light or sound? Scholars work in groups to simulate the ability for waves to travel through solids, liquids, gases, and through a vacuum. Then, they learn about the properties of a mystery wave and must determine...

Chemistry can help athletes and others protect and treat injuries. Use the interactive activity to explore the chemical reactions in instant hot and coldpacks. Learners manipulate the type of salt in the pack and watch the reaction take...

Don't shoo away the resource on shoes. Given constraints on the amount of leather and string needed to make two different types of shoes, learners graph a system of inequalities for the situation. They then determine the maximum profit...

What information can your class determine if they know the number of people attending movie showings? Using the information about the number of people at each screening, learners develop a frequency table. The pupils analyze the type of...

Young scholars study the growth of the Phoenix area using geographic images, maps, tables, and graphs. They study the idea of community.

Earth's systems respond to changes in environments in all types of ways including migration, extinction, adaptation, immigration, and emigration to name a few. Part one in a series of seven is a pre-test consisting of 14 questions. Some...

Students make a striking visual display showing the distribution of water on earth.

"Plot the plot" of "The Adventures of the Speckled Band" with your young readers. Take a few days to read Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's short story as a class or in pairs, having learners write down what they consider to be the most important...

Hard boiled or raw? Which egg will you get? A hands-on activity has scholars explore the impact of conditional probability. Based on a skit from the Tonight Show, pupils model the selection of the two types of eggs using beads. They...

Fifth graders practice using math graphs. In this graphing instructional activity, 5th graders work in groups to develop a topic of their own to represent as a graph. Students collect data and construct a graph for the instructional...

Students investigate volcanoes. In this landforms lesson plan, students locate two volcanoes on a world map. Students compare and contrast the types of volcanoes by using various Internet sites.

Students create two different types of graphs from the information in the "Farm Facts" booklet (i.e., bar graph, pie chart, etc.). They calculate where your food dollars are spent (on and off farm).

Students make a graph. In this weather instructional activity, students fill in a KWL chart about different types of weather. Students watch a PowerPoint presentation about weather and natural disasters and where these types of weather...

Fifth graders interpret data into graphs and percentages.  In this organizing data lesson, 5th graders discuss bar, circle and line graphs.  Students complete bar graph and apply probability using the results.

Students graph polar graphs. In this calculus instructional activity, students convert between polar and rectangular coordinates. They graph their solution on the TI calculator and make observations.

Learners study the concept of central tendency in this data collection for bar graph lesson. They collect data outside as instructed and organize it into a bar graphs, then they list in specific groups the labels that appear on the...

Teach your math lovers how to solve linear equations by graphing. Students identify pairs of coordinates and use it to graph a line and use the TI to graph and observe the line.

Learn how to solve problems with transformation. Students perform transformation on their graphs. Then, they use the TI to create a visual of the graph as it is moving along the graph.

Mathematicians graph logarithmic equations. Teach your high schoolers how to identify the intercepts of logarithmic equations and tell whether the function is increasing or decreasing. They find the domain and range of each function.
