Learn to identify the properties of parabolas. Students define parabola as the locus of all points equidistant from a fixed point and a fixed line. Also, interpret the equation for a parabola in vertex form and gain a visual...

Have your learners investigate parabolas. In this Algebra II lesson, learners explore the basic definition of a parabola by using Cabri Jr. to create a parabola given the focus and directrix.  Students interpret the equation for a...

Simulate C-14 decay using M&M and Reese's Pieces candies. In this scatter-plot lesson, students perform an experiment to simulate the half life of C-14. Information is plotted on a scatter-plot. Students answer four comprehension...

Young scholars use tangrams to represent parts of a whole. In this fraction lesson plan, students use tangrams to determine fractional relationships between different pieces. Young scholars use the AppleWorks drawing application to...

In this math worksheet, students complete 4 tally charts. Students use a list of information, such as colors or types of fruit, to create the charts.

In this fractions worksheet, students solve word problems where they solve problems about parts of whole groups using pictures, charts, and more. Students complete 4 problems.

In this tally chart worksheet, students read the word problems and use the information within the problem to make a tally chart. Students use the tally charts to help them finish and solve the word problem.

In this data collection worksheet, students learn the parts of a tally chart and how it organizes information. Students then use the second tally chart to help them answer the six questions.

In this counting skills worksheet, learners respond to 4 questions that require them to count items pictured and use tally marks to total them.

First graders read "Ten Apples Up On Top!" and view real apples in a basket. They taste different kinds of apples and describe the tastes: sour, sweet, etc. They graph everyone's favorite apple. They interpret the graph and draw their...

Students participate in a number of activities to study the letters A and I. They use food items such as apples and cereal as manipulatives for the activities.

Students investigate how the human body needs water by recording their water consumption for a day. They sing a song about drinking water, make and drink Kool-Aid and eat apple slices, and conduct an experiment to determine how much...

Students taste foods, some of which are familiar foods and some of which are uncommon foods. They compare and contrast the tastes and graph their likes and dislikes.

Students write and explain why an object sinks or floats.  In this buoyancy lesson plan students demonstrate how items float or sink and graph the results. 

Students examine the food that they eat and choose snacks that are healthy and low in fat.  In this healthy food lesson students keep a  food log of what they ate, graph the results and experiment with food to see which foods...

Students illustrate Archimedes' Principle of Buoyant Force. In this graphing lesson, students will observe that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. Students will then create a graph showing...

Students interview both smokers and nonsmokers to get their point of view on the topic. They prepare bar graphs based on the data accumulated by the class during the interviews.

Third graders examine the concept of work as the movement of an object through a distance. They define gravity and determine what type of work is caused by gravity. They measure how far an object is moved by a force. They make a...

High schoolers investigate chords and make predictions. In this geometry lesson, students graph circles and calculate the measurement of each chord. They perform the calculations and make conjectures.
