Pupils explore the concept that when money is borrowed, people pay to use it because someone else is losing an opportunity to use it while they have it. What you pay to use the money is called interest. The rate of interest is a percent....

In this kinetics worksheet, students use concentration-time date tables to determine the rate of reaction and reaction order at each temperature. This worksheet has 4 problems to solve.

Pupils engage in the practice of creating a scatter plot with the data obtained from measuring different resting heart rates. The data is used to create the table that is translated into a graph. The lesson gives instructions for the use...

Learners study Faraday's law of induction and the equations that show how to calculate electromagnetic induction.  In this electromagnetic instructional activity students complete several experiments on the law of induction.

Students examine a graph and relate it to the real world situation it depicts. They investigate changes in an equation and the appearance of a line. They investigate the connection between the graph of a situation and the meaning of the...

Learners calculate the calories in a Brazil nut and the calories needed for daily intake. In this calories lesson plan, students use calorimetry to measure the change in water temperature heated by the burning of a Brazil nut. They also...

In this human population changes in survival worksheet, learners interpret and plot data to understand the differences in human mortality and survivorship between historic and modern times. They investigate how these changes influence...

Learn about polymers while playing with shrinky dinks. Young scholars create a shrinky dink design, bake it, and then record the area, volume, and thickness over time. They model the data using a graph and highlight the key features of...

Students explore Newton's three laws of motion using a variety of activities. In this physics lesson, students calculate the average speed of a vehicle they constructed using distance and time information. They identify and draw the...

Students explore the concept of transformations.  For this transformation lesson, students use an applet that is an interactive absolute value graph applet.  Students manipulate the applet to examine the change in the function...

Students solve problems using ratios and proportion. In this algebra lesson, students analyze skittles and their different colors as they apply the properties of ratios and proportions to solve their problems.

Young scholars examine inflation over the years and learn to calculate how it changes over time. For this money management lesson, students learn how price changes affect their purchasing power, how to come up with strategies for dealing...

Students examine trade between the United States and the European Union. For this costs of goods lesson, students conduct research to identify the costs of goods made in the EU in America and the cost of goods made in America in the EU.

Take the work out of worksheets and use these problems and worked-out answer key as a resource. The problems reinforce skills in domain and range, identifying graphs, and even and odd functions.

These aren't models made of clay. Young mathematicians model given population data using exponential functions. They consider different models and choose the best one.

Students explore the relationship between distance and time. They analyze a situation involving distance traveled in a given period of time, represent the situation graphically and algebraically, and discuss the concept of slope as a...

In this algebra learning exercise, students graph exponential equations and use the formula to translate the graph on a coordinate plane. There are 3 word problems.

Students explore slope.  In this middle school mathematics lesson, students analyze and interpret graphs as they investigate slope as a rate of change.  Students use a motion detector to collect data as they walk at different...

Every topic or subject has its own special jargon. Learners work on their math vocabulary as it relates to basic algebra terms. They define and identify function, functional notation, ordered pairs, rate of change, slope,...

In this calculus worksheet, students differentiate equations and calculate rate of change. They find the area and volume under a curve. There are 18 questions on this test.

Learners investigate the slope of various stairways through a "news report" approach and employ mathematical knowledge of applied slope to report on wheelchair accessibility and adherence to Americans with Disabilities Act. They...

Learners learn why the census makes a difference. In this U.S. Census lesson plan, students connect data and history in their study of previous population booms and analyze census data in order to make predictions about the future.

Ninth graders measure the insulation properties of different fabrics by immersing cans of water covered with fabric "socks" in an ice bath and measuring temperature changes. They then calculate heat loss and graph the data individually.

In this algebra worksheet, students convert between percents and decimals. They calculate sales tax, discounts and relative errors. There are 4 questions with an answer key.
