Explore linear and nonlinear models to help your class build their function skills. In a continuation of the previous lesson, learners continue to analyze and sketch functions that model real-world situations. They progress from linear...

Youngsters use a graphing calculator to assist in creating a function table. They graph the function on a coordinate plane. They explore the relationship between the domain and range in the graph. This four-page worksheet contains two...

Group work and participation is used to perform a specified translation or reflection. In this geometrical translation lesson, small groups of pupils are each given a shape to plot on a coordinate grid. Each shape is then translated or...

Through an engaging unit, chefs-in-training will sort and classify data using tally charts. Learners will also create bar graphs to display restaurant data and interpret data from bar graphs using a variety of categories....

Using your graphing calculator, find all the rational zeroes of a polynomials by using the Rational Zero Theorem. Divide polynomials using the Remainder Theorem and the Factor Theorem and then graph it to find the number of real roots.

Students calculate the standard and metric measurements of a playground. In this measurement lesson, students use GPS coordinates and graphing calculators to determine the dimensions of an area outside of the school in both standard and...

Develop a model for a hanging chain. Pupils find a mathematical model for a hanging chain and then they compare their models to the precise function that models the curve. Scholars come up with a strategy to determine how close...

Connect the dots on trigonometry with K'nex. Scholars use a K'nex model of a Ferris wheel to collect data points to plot on a height versus time graph. They'll then consider what type of function best models the data in the graph—and...

Third graders plan for a garden. In this garden planning lesson, 3rd graders investigate the use of a grid to accurately map out and plan for a vegetable garden. Students predict the space requirements for different vegetables.

Teach your class about various approaches to solving the problem of maximizing the area of a rectangle space with a fixed perimeter in the context of a farmer's dog pen. Then, they complete a worksheet independently to summarize the...

Serve four towns with one bus route. Pupils develop a bus route that meets certain criteria to serve four towns. They determine which of the routes would best serve all of them. Individuals then hypothesize where a fifth town should be...

Elementary math minds complete various activities to memorize the multiples of nine. They watch a PowerPoint presentation and demonstrate the finger trick. Unfortunately the link to the multiplication activities does not take you...

How does something go from here to there? Describe it with a transformation. Young mathematicians learn how to translate, reflect, rotate, and dilate an image. 

Here is a thorough exercise in forming hypotheses for scientific investigations. Young scientists consider factors that may be related to the question they would like to address. They think through measurable changes that may result from...

Is your current lesson plan for salt and freshwater literacy leaving you high and dry? If so, dive into part one of a seven-part series that explores the physical features of Earth's salt and freshwater sources. Junior hydrologists...

Desert regions are hotter for multiple reasons; the lack of vegetation causes the sun's heat to go straight into the surface and the lack of moisture means none of the heat is being transferred into evaporation. This concept, and other...

Early childhood students will develop listening skills as they read "Nuts To You" by Lois Ehlert. In this lesson students will learn about Students will learn facts about different types of squirrels and their behaviors. There will be a...

In this using data to make graphs  worksheet, students interactively answer 10 multiple choice questions then click to check their answers.

Students collect data using the CBL. For this statistics lesson, students predict the type of graph that will be created based on the type of activity the person does. The graph represents heart rate depending the level of activity.

Fourth graders examine the types of garbage that they collect on the playground. They collect the information in a spreadsheet and create a graph that displays the number of types of trash found. They design and monitor a playground...

Stjudents examine the statistics in a Canadian publication for use in graphs. They develop their own questions based on tables and graphs found in this publication..

Fifth graders create/use spreadsheets to solve real-world problems, explore patterns and make predictions, select/explain most appropriate types of graph to display data, and enter data into a prepared spreadsheet to perform calculations.

Learners read an article and review a type of graph or other graphic representation. They write a response to a ""Task"" that may be a letter, a report, or a speech to an interested group. In the written response they must refer to both...

Fourth graders explore several different types of graphs using M & Ms.
