Students investigate the migration route of one bird, Osprey B4, using information gathered from satellites to track birds over a two-year period. They coimpare their graphs with maps of B4's migrations that have been plotted by...

Students explore the concept of sine. In this sine lesson, students create a sine graph from tooth picks. Students create a unit circle with tooth pick length radius. Students then take the tooth picks from the unit circle and put them...

Students study the components of a bedrock geology map through a hands-on activity involving a cookie and graph paper.

In this inequalities learning exercise, students solve and graph inequalities. They shade the answer region. Explanations and examples are provided at the beginning of the document. Answers are at the end of the learning exercise. ...

Students study a variety of math concepts in the context of cooking up a meal. In this math activity, students calculate surface area and volume. They draw and interpret different types of graphs.

Seventh graders investigate the concept of looking at the data put in a variety of ways that could include graphs or data sets. They analyze data critically in order to formulate some sound conclusions based on real data. Students graph...

Students comprehend the basic units of measurement, scale, plotting, and basic grids. Students practice their estimation and measuring skills and will demonstrate their ability to work well in groups.

In this system of linear inequalities worksheet, students solve 5 problems with the graphing method and are given 2 examples with multiple steps to follow.

In this maximum and minimum problems activity, students solve and complete 9 various types of problems. First, they find two numbers with a given sum. Then, students find the maximum and minimum value of each equation. They also find the...

In this ordered pairs and total number of items worksheet, students answer multiple choice questions about ordered pairs and number totals. Students complete 10 multiple choice questions.

Third graders create pictures using ordered pairs after listening to a piece of literature. In this ordered pairs and literature lesson, student listen to and discuss The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg. They participate in...

In this Algebra I/Algebra II worksheet, learners determine the equation of a line from the graph.  The one page worksheet contains ten problems.  Answers are not provided. 

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Do you view proofs as an essential geometric skill? The resource builds on an understanding of dilations by proving the Dilation Theorem of Segments. Pupils learn to question and verify rather than make assumptions. 

Continue the study of transformations with an examination of horizontal stretches, shrinks, and reflections. Individuals use the same process used in parts one and two of this series to examine horizontal changes. The resource also...

Are you tired of answers without understanding? Learners can give a correct response, but do they really understand the concept? Have young mathematicians think deeper about linear functions, angles, and formulas in algebra....

Pupils discuss the different types of storms that can hit land. They locate specific coordinates on a plane grid. They discuss lonsgitude and latitude to plot the coordinates of a tropical storm. They practice finding coordinates that...

Students practice graphing a linear equation and a parabolic equation. They work cooperatively to select numbers, including fractions, which they will put into ordered pairs. Students explain their process to the class, discussing what...

Middle schoolers work together to grid a 2 x 2 meter unit using the formula for the Pythagorean Theorem. After creating the grid, they identify the location of artifacts and create a map of their location. They develop a graph and table...

Students investigate the graphs of conics.  In this Algebra II lesson, students solve equations of conics while playing the game of Tracker.  In Tracker the graphs are hidden on a coordinate plane and students use probe shots...

What did you do over your summer vacation. Young wage earners must compare summer job options, and determine when each job earn the same amount and what that amount be. This be done by creating, graphing, and solving systems of...

Students identify properties of a line. For this algebra lesson, students differentiate between functions and nonfunctions. They use the slope and y intercept to graph their lines.

What does slope have to do with lines? Pupils work with lines and determine the slope of the lines informally and with the slope formula. Groups use their knowledge to calculate the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines. They also...

Fourth graders design their own letter graph, and then produce the resulting graphs after a translation, reflection, and rotation. After a review of vocabulary, 4th graders create their graphs using crayons.
