Connect the points to create a function. Using points given by the applet, pupils try to connect them to create a line that would pass the vertical line test. The resource keeps track of the number of sets the learner is able to identify...

Educate your class about blood alcohol levels by combining health with math practice. Class members read a little bit about blood alcohol concentration and then solve some problems related to determining alcohol levels and alcohol...

What makes particles attract? Here, learners engage in multiple activities that fully describe colligative properties and allow the ability to critically assess the importance of these properties in daily life. Young chemists...

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Reinforce mathematical vocabulary with the use of flash cards. Each card showcases a boldly typed word as well as a labeled picture representation of the word. Terms include addition, subtraction, greater than, less than, and more!

How do seeds get around? It's not like plants can control seed dispersal—or can they? Dig deeper into the amazing mechanisms of seed dispersal observed in tropical plants through interactives, a video, and plenty of hands-on data...

With rising oil prices and increasing concerns over global warming, the pressure is on for engineers to develop alternative sources of energy. Among the new technologies being developed are hydrogen fuel cells, which young scientists...

You've heard of a pie graph, but what about a pizza pie graph? Challenge young mathematicians to answer ten questions based on a random survey of people's favorite pizzas. A pie graph displays the percentages of each type of pizza. Some...

Every 18–24 months, nuclear power plants shut down to remove their used uranium fuel, a radioactive waste. Show learners how energy is made and used around the world and then focus on the United States' usage. Viewers then specifically...

One of the key objectives of Europe's Copernicus Earth program is to monitor the temperatures of the oceans and seas on Earth. Young scholars learn the effects of different heat capacities through two experiments. These experiments...

A greenhouse provides additional warmth and protection to the plants inside, but what if the greenhouse gets too hot? Pupils discuss and experiment with the difference between natural and anthropogenic greenhouse effect. They measure the...

You'll have no regrets when you use the perfect lesson to teach regression! An interactive resource has individuals manipulate the slope and y-intercept of a line to match a set of data. Learners practice data sets with both positive and...

Where does our garbage go? What is the difference between a recyclable and non-recyclable item? Pose these important, but often overlooked, questions to your class and invite them to consider the lasting and damaging effects of the...

Class members make a real connection to matrices in the 25th part of a series of 32 by looking at the identity matrix and making the connection to the multiplicative identity in the real numbers. Pupils explore different...

Give the class a mental work out with an assessment task in which young mathematicians compare several gym membership options. They use substitution to calculate the cost for given numbers of months.

Eighth graders investigate Newton's Law of Inertia in order to create a context for the review of the use of different types of graphs. They practice gathering the data from an experiment and put it into the correct corresponding graph.

Learners identify two types of graphs. They analyze and interpret authentic data shown in bar and pie graphs and complete a graph given specific data. Perform simple functions within an Excel document:

Students investigate various games employing graphs as game boards.  In this game theory lesson, students problem solve through the use of graphs.  The lesson is a list of both indoor and outdoor games to...

Students make, read and interpret circle graphs.

Fifth graders construct data graphs based upon sets of data. In this graphing lesson, 5th graders read the text If the World Were a Village and discuss how types of graphs accurately represent a large population. Students construct their...

Students graph step functions (for example, the greatest integer function), and then form the inverse function of given function. They also graph piece-wise defined functions and explain step-by-step the process. Finally, students define...

Students record their blood types on a class graph and calculate the potential number of blood donors for each group.

Fourth graders analyze the data in a bar graph, pictograph, line graph, and a chart/table and draw conclusions based on the data. They discuss each type of graph, write questions for each graph, and analyze the data as a class.

In this Algebra I/Geometry/Algebra II worksheet, learners create a scatter plot and analyze the data to determine if the data show any type of correlation.  The four page worksheet provides extensive explanation of topic,...
