Students investigate the properties of matter. In this properties of matter lesson, students observe containers of different metals and discuss their properties including density. Students find the density of an unknown metal and of...

Students explore what it means to solve problems and communicate in real life situations. They recognize math in a variety of real life materials. Also, they determine what procedures they use to solve a problem and what areas of math...

Fifth graders analyze data from a simple table. In this graphing lesson, 5th graders compare distributions.  Students recognize that the mean helps them find the formula.  Students answer questions on the mean, median, and range.

Fourth graders sort seeds and predict what conditions are needed for them to germinate. They keep the seeds moist, observe and measure their growth and graph the results. As the seeds start to grow students compare and contrast the each...

Students measure, record, and graph the force of moving a block of wood along sand paper. In this friction lesson plan, students read a spring scale, collect data, construct a graph, and propose a model to explain how fiction works.

Your class can become linear equations masters, as they calculate the rate of change of a function. They observe different types of coordinates as they relate to a graph, then use the Ti-navigator to move the line around and draw...

The types of scientific information that need to be analyzed in the ACT test are presented here. Tips and techniques for completing the research, data, viewpoints, and multiple choice questions will help your class and their expectations.

Hurricanes, typhoons, and tropical cyclones are the same type of storm, but their names change based on where they happen. Scholars use a computer simulation to learn about hurricanes. Then they hypothesize ideas to prevent hurricanes...

Fifth graders observe an overhead of a graph on which M & Ms have been poured out. A volunteer comes up and separates the colors writing on the overhead how many there were of each color and another person labels the graph's title....

Students discuss the natural and economic impact of forests and forestry. Using given statistics they construct different types of graphs in which they make observations and draw conclusions.

Students investigate threee types of maps. For this algebra lesson, students idenitfy different maps and explore how they relate to the area keeping cllimate and topography in mind. They discuss maps used to navigate land. air and sea.

What is the relationship between two variables? Groups work together to gather data on arm spans and height. Using the interactive, learners plot the bivariate data, labeling the axes and the graph. The resource allows scholars to create...

Twelfth graders research want ads on the Internet or in the newspaper. They calculate the estimated weekly, monthly, and yearly pay for an hourly, salary and commission positions. They calculate a paycheck including state tax, federal...

Water filtration — that's pure genius! Groups test the ability of a water filter to purify water by running chlorine contaminated water through a filter and measuring the chlorine concentrations as they filter the water. They then graph...

Address any kind of math concept or problem with a series of problem-solving strategies. Over 12 days of different activities and increasing skills, learners practice different ways to solve problems, check their answers, and reflect...

As an introduction to using a network to determine the fewest number of nodes that meet a given condition, small groups work together to determine the fewest number of ice cream vans, and their locations, to be able to serve the people...

In this Scatter Diagrams and Curve Fitting worksheet, students are guided in how to graph a scatter diagram (plot) and a Best Fit Line using a TI-83 graphing calculator. 

Students are introduced to the concept of species habitats and ranges. They introduced to ArcView GIS as a tool for mapping. Pupils use query data for species withina county, elevation, range, rivers and streams, land cover, and etc....

Second graders examine how data can be transferred into pictures on a pictograph. They analyze data on a graph about chewing gum, and create a pictograph that illustrates data about their preferences for the taste of bubble gum. ...

In this coordinate plane learning exercise, 10th graders solve 20 various types of problems all related to identifying point on a coordinate plane. First, they graph each point on the coordinate plane at the top. Then, students determine...

Learners double check their data collections of Top 20 singles that they've been collecting for several days. Types of data is reviewed in detail and a variety of questions are asked for retention factors of mastery. They draw a tally...

Third graders, in groups, complete a science lab in which they perform a blind taste test on eight different foods--some sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. They determine which parts of the tongue "taste" which kinds of foods. they record...

Young scholars investigate lines and patterns. In this line and pattern lesson, students discuss types of lines and work on grids. They draw a picture very lightly before filling it in with the pattern they made in the grid.

Students explore the concept of graphing data. For this graphing data lesson, students determine the percentage of sugar in bubble gum. Students graph type of gum vs. sugar percentage. Students create a table of their data.
