Explore how the study of diseases and epidemics can be comprehended from a mathematical perspective. Investigate finite geometric series, calculating threshold values, and statistical models of the spread of disease. How many makes it an...

Speed up the class's understanding of acceleration with a presentation! The resource includes a definition, example problems, acceleration due to gravity, and a graphical representation of acceleration.

In this partial derivatives worksheet, students complete one word problem by finding the (x,y) coordinates of a point when it moves parallel to one axis. When given a function, they find six partial derivatives. Students solve four...

Learners create constant speed versus motion graphs. They will perform linear regressions on their data to describe the graphs mathematically.

Students explore how to use graphing calculators.

Students collect, graph and analyze data. For this statistics lesson, students measure the heart beat of a person as they listen to music. They use the CBL and TI to create a graph, analyzing the outcome.

Young scholars research and compare economic factors and data mining in Nepal. Students look at data to determine how the Nepalese quality of life compares to other countries and predict whether the literacy rate indicates or influences...

I don't get electricity jokes, watts so funny about them? The 13th in a series of presentations covers energy, motors, currents, generating electricity, calculating electrical energy cost, transformers, and batteries.

Review the form of a quadratic function, and the parabola it creates. Continue on with the whole group to work through a mini-lab, practicing how to graph quadratic equations with one variable. The goal of this lesson is for the group...

Students practice calculating the slope of a line. They explain how the formula is derived and identify properties that are associated with positive, negative and undefined slopes. They complete an online activity as well.

Fourth graders improve their understanding of Graham's Law by using properties of gases to evaluate the rate of effusion of two compounds as they vaporize. They engage in a lab which elevates their understanding of the properties of gases.

Students identify the quadrants and axis of a coordinate plane. In this algebra lesson, students discover the ocrrect way to graph using the coordinate plane. They discuss the relationship between x and y values, domain and range and...

Young scholars explore number sense by solving consumer math problems. In this pattern identification lesson, students analyze a list of numerical and geometric patterns while predicting the future outcome. Young scholars utilize...

Adjust this lesson to fit either beginning or more advanced learners. Build a scatter plot, determine appropriate model (linear, quadratic, exponential), and then extend to evaluate the model with residuals. This problem uses real-world...

Learners explore ever-changing exchange rates. In this euro/dollar exchange rate lesson, students plan a trip to Europe and calculate their costs in euros and dollars.

Functions require an input in order to get an output, which explains why the answer always has at least two parts. After only three multi-part questions, the teacher can analyze pupils' strengths and weaknesses when it comes to...

Learners graph their linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students examine their lines and relate it to the slope or rate of change. They relate the steepness of the line to the slope being positive, negative or zero.

Learners interpret and analyze data.  For this middle school mathematics lesson, students conduct an experiment in which they investigate which solar collector, black, white, or silver, absorbs the most heat.  Learners examine...

Twelfth graders are introduced to the relationship between inflation and unemployment. They define the employment and unemployment rate and practice calculating the figures. Analyzing minimum wage laws, they model a process for...

Students explore linear equation suing real life scenarios. In this algebra lesson, students find the slope and intercept of a line. They create table of values to plot their graph and draw conclusions.

In this computing derivatives worksheet, students determine the derivative, slope, and rate of change in a function. They indicate if a function is constant, increasing, or decreasing. This two-page worksheet contains approximately ten...

Students investigate the area under a curve and the rate of change.

Learners calculate derivatives from a set of data. In this calculus instructional activity, students estimate the limit at infinity. They complete a Return Interval handout at the end of the instructional activity.

Students use the internet to gather information on daily exchange rates. They calculate the exchange rates between two countries by role playing they are going on vacation to these destinations.
