High schoolers investigate the concept of common errors that are made in the laboratory setting while analyzing the data of an experiment. They are given a scenario and are asked to measure the data of the major and minor axis. The...

Have learners use math to prove they are sports stars! Assess a pupil's ability to create and analyze data using a variety of graphs. The class will be motivated by the association of math and basketball data.

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

Pupils identify, compare, and analyze shapes and numbers. In this analogies and comparison math lesson, students warm up by completing 4 worksheets to familiarize themselves with analogies. In small groups, pupils are challenged to...

Young scholars investigate the probability of global warming and the effects of global warming on the environment. They conduct Internet research and collect data, transfer the data onto an Excel spreadsheet, and create a presentation...

Students collect and Analyze data. In this statistics lesson, students identify the line of best fit of the graph. They classify lines as having positive, negative and no correlation.

Sixth graders determine appropriate scales when graphing data. In this graphing activity, 6th graders use an the applet "Graph It" to determine what is an appropriate scale for their data.

Young scholars calculate the costs for lodging and meals for a virtual field trip. They calculate the number of nights lodging needed for road and city travel and the number of meals needed, the costs for each, and input the data using...

Tenth graders investigate three different sets of data that relate temperature to another variable in the physical world. These illustrate linear, inverse and exponential relationships.

High schoolers explore the concept of chemical formulas.  In this chemical formula lesson, students watch a video about balancing chemical equations.  High schoolers conduct an experiment using silver nitrate and sodium...

Students discover the formulas for calculating distance. In groups, they solve equations determine the distance in a specific amount of time. They record their answers in a chart or graph and compare them with their classmates.

Students observe an activity with Jell-O to learn about optics.  In this investigative activity students fill out a handout on the activity that helps them to investigate the index of refraction and the speed of light. 

Students state the general rule for a practical situation. They describe a continuing pattern. They use toothpicks to help visualize the problem and answer it correctly.

The mathematics tutorial explores direct and inverse variation. The lesson consists of class notes, examples, and practice problems with solutions. The teacher resource includes an activity that examines mathematical variation in art.

Provides an explanation and examples of variation.

This task asks students to find equivalent expressions by visualizing a familiar activity involving distance. The given solution shows some possible equivalent expressions, but there are many variations possible. Aligns with 6.EE.A.2.
