Your learners combine their knowledge of real and imaginary numbers and matrices in an activity containing thirty lessons, two assessments (mid-module and end module), and their corresponding rubrics. Centered on complex numbers and...

In this mapping skills worksheet, students read an excerpt that describes three different types of scales and how to calculate distance on a map. They respond to two short answer questions using the map provided on the sheet and to...

Students think about their neighborhood and get a mental picture of their community. They then interpret aerial photography, learning how to use shapes and patterns to describe urban, suburban and rural communities.

Ninth graders brainstorm "what they know about North Korea and South Korea." They determine the approximate distance from the United States to North and South Korea and create a graph comparing the birth rates, death rates, infant...

In this distance worksheet, students calculate the lengths of sides and diagonals of figures.  Students also compute lengths in shadow problems.  The solutions are provided by clicking on the "show answers" tab at the bottom of...

Students use a migration map to estimate the distance traveled by a bird while migrating south. After calculating accurate estimates of the distance traveled, students compare the distances traveled with the amount of time elapsed.

Young scholars investigate speed as an important variable regarding force of an impact. Students roll a car down a ramp and into a block of wood. The distance the car travels, the time until impact and the distance the block moves are...

In this variation activity, students interpret and organize data.  They find the distance between points.  Students use ratios to determine volume  This six-page activity contains approximately 20 problems.  Answers...

Pupils create a model of the distances of the planets in the solar system using sheets of toilet paper and markers. Generally accepted orbital parameters are applied.

In this introduction to root finding learning exercise, students write equations to solve distance problems. They explore the bisection method of Bolzano. This four-page learning exercise contains approximately ten problems.

In this Euler's method instructional activity, students use Euler's method to determine one-second time intervals in a rate problem. They explore functions to estimate rate changes in small time intervals. This two-page instructional...

Students investigate concepts relating the use of the metric system of measurement. They practice the skill of estimating units and especially which ones to use in certain problems for the most reasonable answer. The lesson includes...

In this planets in space worksheet, high schoolers calculate their weight on the 9 planets plus calculate the distance of the planets from the sun in astronomical units. This worksheet has 6 fill in the blank and 3 short answer questions.

Middle schoolers create a scaled solar system model using colorful beads. In this space science lesson, students convert AU units into metric measurements. They arrange the planets according to their distances from the sun.

In this least squares approximation worksheet, students use linear algebra to find the least square error and the equation of a line for given points. They find the equation of a parabola through provided points. This four-page...

In this limit worksheet, students evaluate sums, determine limits, compute distance problems, and sketch functions. This one-page worksheet contains approximately eleven problems.

In this three-dimensional worksheet, students identify the center and radius of given spheres. They simplify an equation for all points in three-dimensional space which are equidistant from a given point. This two-page worksheet...

In this continuous function worksheet, students determine the average velocity of objects over given intervals of time. They compute the derivative of functions and determine the slope of a line. This four-page worksheet contains...

Students examine the distances between the Sun, planets, and smaller objects in the Solar System. They design a model using beads that shows the scale distances of the Solar System using astronomical units converted into a 10 centimeter...

First graders explore estimating and measuring distances. They analyze and discuss a map of New York State, make estimations, measure distances using yarn, and calculate total distances between cities on the map.

Students use distance measuring tools to follow directions and chart the path the pilgrims made from Plymouth, England to Boston, Massachusetts. In this Pilgrim voyage lesson, students use a map to chart the distance traveled by the...

Physics apprentices analyze the impact of NASA's Impactor as it collided with the comet Tempel 1 in July of 2005. They calculate the mass and speed of the comet, along with the distance it might drift off of its orbit over time. This...

Eighth graders explore and demonstrate an understanding of the factors that contribute to the efficient operation of mechanisms and simple machines. They design and make a mechanical toy device that moves a given object a specified...

Family is a wonderful subject for little learners to get excited about. Family is also the theme for a social studies unit that uses literacy standards throughout. The guide outlines approximately three weeks of instruction and breaks...
