Show high schoolers there is more to quadratic functions than just formulas and parabolas. Connect the math to realistic application problems with a resource that has learners consider such situations as a ball hit in the air, the...

You're safe, when calculating the odds of stealing second base! Learners compare the rate of a runner to the distance the ball travels, in a lesson that explores right triangles and measurement. Full of discussion questions and fun...

Now this lesson sounds fun! Young scholars throw a ball, film it as it soars through the air, and use a spreadsheet to collect data. A scatterplot is created to produce a quadratic regression equation, an equation in vertex form, and an...

In this multiplying fractions and whole numbers practice instructional activity, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems.

Students are introduced to the idea of probability by discussing the likelihood of events occurring. Pupils describe events that are certain, impossible, likely, and unlikely to occur. They determine the likelihood of an event occurring...

In this worksheet, students solve 5 multi-step problems involving sine, cosine, velocity, inflection and constants.

Students throw bean bags at stacks of blocks. They record the results and write the corresponding mathematical equations.

Students, in teams of four, practice shooting free throws while mentally converting the ratio of shots made to those thrown into a percent. They chart and record the ratio, decimal and actual percentage earned after each round.

Students use playing cards to determine the number of soccer passes and traps completed between partners. They add up passes at the end of the game. They can also tally face cards to see who received the most.

Students discuss the word weight, how much they weigh and the conccept of heavy and light. They hear the story of measurement and the metric system. They work in groups and measure and record items found in the classroom and use a...
