Ninth graders calculate the average speed of their balsa wood airplane. For this physics lesson, 9th graders build their own airplane and make necessary modifications to to make it fly straight. They interpret distance and time graph...

Eighth graders solve multi-step equations, showing each step in their solution. This multi-step equations lesson includes sample problems to complete as a class, clear step by step instructions for the student and a linked comic strip...

Seventh graders investigate the concept of ordered pairs as found in Algebra. They are introduced to the data set that corresponds to the coordinate system. Also students practice the graphing the ordered pairs using the x and y axis.

Eighth graders explore congruent and similar figures.  In this eighth grade geometry lesson, 8th graders use geoboards to create congruent and similar figures and explore the relationships between the sides and angles. 

Students observe and/or conduct five experiments which address the Bernoulli Effect. In this conceptual lesson based on the Bernoulli Effect, the students construct atomizers, and make concrete observations and inferences in connection...

High schoolers examine the definitions of biomas gasification and generate their own biomass gas.  In this renewable energy lesson students collect gases and roast a marshmallow. 

Students explore the concept of the associative, commutative, and distributive properties. In the associative, commutative, and distributive properties lesson, students discuss real world examples of each property. Students demonstrate...

Students apply properties of Pythagorean to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students identify the different parts of a right triangle using ratios. they solve problems using squares and square roots.

Students perform functional analysis. In this pre-calculus lesson, students recognize the different elements of a function, graph a function and analyze it. They synthesize composites of other basic functions.

Students evaluate the six trigonometric values of a trig function. In this trigonometry lesson, students use the Unit Circle to find the values of right triangles and their angles. They identify an angle of elevation and...

First graders explore the existence of patterns in everyday items. In this science and math integrated lesson, 1st graders match leaves with a name word card and organize them into four patterns. This lesson includes a reading of And the...

Students calculate the surface area and volume of shapes. In this geometry lesson, students create different scales and calculate the volume and area for each shape. They compare and contrast between the different scales and shapes.

Seventh graders review the concept of finding the areas of a rectangle. This lesson uses the classroom as a real life application for the formula of area. They measure classroom in order to compute the area.

The lesson plan includes scaffolding with the use of a teacher assistant and peer tutoring. The instructional activity has good intentions and the set up for instruction is well thought out. However, there is not enough information in...

Fourth graders investigate the terms "factor" and "product." For this mathematics lesson, 4th graders practice solving problems to find the products and factors present in different algebraic expressions.

Twelfth graders practice their graphing skills in an exercise about acceleration due to gravity. Lesson opens with a demonstration of acceleration due to gravity and a brief discussion. Students complete a worksheet and go over answers...

Ninth graders add and subtract polynomials.  In this Algebra I lesson plan, 9th graders work practice problems as they view a PowerPoint presentation of the lesson plan.  Both the horizontal and vertical methods of addition and...

High schoolers explore the basic building blocks of our planet.  In this minerals lesson plan students begin the process of forensics on the basis of investigation and drawing conclusions from observations. 

Students analyze graphs, charts and tables. In this data analysis lesson, students practice creating and analyzing charts, graphs and tables corresponding to sales and surveys. This lesson uses data relevant to students and includes...

Students use concrete and pictorial representation of geometric patterns to extend patterns. In this geometric patterns lesson plan, students identify patterns and extend them.

High schoolers differentiate between similarity and congruence using polygons. In this geometry lesson, students label triangles based on their properties. They find missing sides and angles using the interior sum theorem.

Students calculate the different ratios using a right triangle. In this trigonometry lesson, students identify the sine, cosine and tangent of each side. They find the missing angles using the different ratios.

Ninth graders investigate the concept of an inequality. They begin the lesson by covering relevant vocabulary. They write an inequality for each word problem given. Then they translate problems from words to algebraic inequalities.

Learners are introduced to zoning. Evaluating information and reading a land-use map is enclosed in this lesson. List new development projects that they could propose for a given area.
