Reinforce the concept of probability with a series of lessons highlighting the idea of likelihood, probability formulas, relative frequency, outcomes, and event predictions. The collection is made up of four lessons offering informative...

Transform your scholars into mathematicians as they develop their own geometric definition. The task asks individuals to compare cylindrical objects and create a definition for the disc-ness of each object. They may use any method and...

How much gas does it take to drive around town? The class uses a variety of mathematical procedures to take a look at the use of gas for transportation. Class members use a different unit to determine the cost of driving a car as opposed...

When told to describe a line, do your pupils list its color, length, and which side is high or low? Use a worksheet that engages scholars to properly label line graphs. It then requests two applied reasoning answers.

Try your hand at scale models. Scholars create a scale model of an object using a scale factor of their choice. As part of the project, they give presentations on their processes and calculations. This is the last installment of the...

Groups simulate an orbit using a piece of string and a water balloon. Individuals spin in a circular path and calculate the balloon's velocity when the clothes pin can no longer hold onto the balloon.

What happens when you combine 6.022 times 10 to the 23 piles of dirt into one? You make a mountain out of a mole hill. Scholars use dehydration to obtain percent composition and then calculate the molarity of the original...

Do curves slow runners down or help their speed? Pupils simulate a 200-meter dash to calculate the angular and linear velocity of a runner. They then determine whether the runner is faster around the curved section of the track...

There are many ways to correlate coffee to life, but in this case a worksheet looks at the price of two different sizes of coffee. It requires interpreting a graph with two unknown variables, in this case the price, and solving for...

Airline mechanics must be precise, or the consequences could be deadly. Their target ranges alter with changes in temperature and pressure. When preparing an airplane for flight, you must read a maintenance graph. The second lesson of...

A slideshow covering the Smarter Balanced Target I on solving problems involving volume of cylinders, cones, and spheres contains five sample items. Items range from finding the volume of a figure to finding the altitude of a cone given...

Investigate the relationship between the slope-intercept form and the slope of the graph. The lesson plan leads an investigation of the slope-intercept equation of a line and its slope. Pupils realize the slope is the same as the...

Students factor and solve quadratic equations.In this algebra activity, students identify the roots of an equation using the quadratic formula. They graph and identify the properties of a parabola.

Students compute the slope of a line that passes through two points and explain how the slope formula is derived. They determine properties associated with positive, negative, undefined, and no slope.

In this quadratic formula worksheet, students use the quadratic formula to find the roots of a polynomial. Explanations and examples are provided. This two-page worksheet contains ten problems.

Students use Heron's formula to calculate the area of a triangle. In this geometry lesson, students use three different methods to solve the area of a triangle. They find and construct the incentor and angle bisector of a triangle.

Pupils practice measuring the interior angles of given regular polygons and create a formula for finding the measure of th interior angles of any polygon. They determine the relationships between the number of vertices's or sides in a...

In this chemical equations worksheet, students calculate how many grams are used to in the equation written as well as the grams formed in the chemical equation. Students identify the limiting reagent in some of the chemical equations....

Learners explore the concept of volume. They develop formulas for volume of prisms. Then use their formulas to find missing dimensions of various prisms such as height, length, width, radius, and diameter.

Examine the nation's economic health using this GDP and CPI worksheet, which features helpful graphic depictions of complex concepts. The first 2 pages include 17 short-answer questions intended to guide reading from a text (not...

Young scholars calculate the area and circumference of a circle as the lesson is presented through an animated Microsoft PowerPoint presentation. They then complete a project to review the previous day's material.

In this chemical compounds learning exercise, students determine the empirical formula or the molecular formula for the compounds given. Students calculate percent composition. This learning exercise has 10 problems to solve.

How can we find volume if it a shape isn't easy to measure? Investigate methods for determining this as the volume of regular and irregular objects is explored in several stations. Learners discover that when the standard formula for...

Given a very realistic challenge, your young geometers design residential fish tanks in rectangular and triangular prism shapes. They compute the volume of water each will hold. They also determine the size of plastic covers for each...
