Eighth and ninth graders solve five different problems that include solving two equations. They determine the point of intersection in each of the five pairs of equations given. Pupils define point of intersection as the point where two...

Launch a year-long writing program with a narrative writing unit that introduces young writers to the systems, routines, and procedures of the writing workshop.

Students view a polar view map and discuss ways of telling locations on the map. They view a copy of the map superimposed on a coordinate grid, then discuss ways of telling the locations. Students practice as a class and then...

Is there more to college algebra than this? Even though the eBook is designed for a college algebra course, there are several topics that align to Algebra II or Pre-calculus courses. Topics begin with linear equation and inequalities,...

FANBOYS will enjoy breaking grammar rules, but they will have to use coordinating conjunctions, gerunds, compound sentences, compound-complex sentences, and even predicates as they craft poems like Shel Silverstein.

Change up the classroom atmosphere with this interdisciplinary resource. Following along with the children's book Mr. Slaptail's Curious Contraption, these math worksheets provide practice with a wide range of topics including...

While the activity focuses on right triangles, this activity offers a great way to practice the area of all triangles through an interactive webpage. The activity begins with the class taking a square paper and cutting in in half; can...

Take the tediousness out of finding solutions of inequalities by graphing. Individuals use an interactive that allows them to adjust a system of inequalities on a coordinate plane. Using the interactive helps find solutions to systems of...

Can you hear me from there? Pupils determine the place to build a cell tower on a hill. The class uses constraints and creates a scale drawing on a coordinate system to calculate the exact location of the base of the cell tower.

Students calculate the standard and metric measurements of a playground. In this measurement lesson, students use GPS coordinates and graphing calculators to determine the dimensions of an area outside of the school in both standard and...

Where is the best place to work? Small groups map out a kitchen on a coordinate plane and find the centers of the work triangle to find the best place to install an island. The teams use algebraic methods to locate the center by finding...

Ninth graders describe latitude and longitude and how they may be useful to find things on a map.  In this cartography lesson plan students divide into groups and devise a coordinate system that can be used to communicate a...

Perform data analysis on energy consumption to apply algebraic expressions to the real world. Learners will write and solve equations that answer various questions from residential power use. They will collect data at home and calculate...

Almost a duplicate of another slideshow on our site, these slides covering classes of hormones and their function, have gaps prepared for your pupils to fill in. This copy could be printed out for your class to complete as notes during...

For this mind-bending activity, young engineers explore this question of whether or not light actually bends. Using holographic diffraction gratings, groups design and build a spectrograph. The groups then move on research a problem...

Students, working independently and in groups, apply the distance formula to practical situations. After solving various problems, students in pairs design coordinate planes from the school blue print to measure the distance from the...

In this graphing worksheet, students solve systems of linear equations by graphing on a coordinate plane. Given specific coordinates, students determine the line of intersection. This one-page worksheet contains ten problems.

For this math worksheet, students examine the graph in polar coordinates of r = f(θ). Then they sketch a graph of the modified functions indicated.

Young scholars explore the effects of a declining fossil fuel system would have on the world. They read the line graph and other information to answer questions about fossil fuels. Students use mathematics to analyze graphical data and...

Students observe the outer planets. In this science lesson, students use a telescope locate the outer planets of the solar system. Students create a video of their observations.

In this equations and inequalities worksheet, 9th graders solve and graph 8 different problems that include various systems of equations. First, they determine the solution to each set of system of equations. Then, students graph the...

Students factor and solve systems of equation. For this algebra lesson, students identify the point of intersection using substitution, elimination and graphing. They write an equation given a system and a graph.

Students explore how the immune system, fights a war with a pathogenic organism: one of the many bacteria, viruses, and protozoans that can infect our bodies and cause disease.

Students study the process of detection, coordination and response. In this biology lesson plan, students design an experiment to test stimuli response. They participate in a game-show style quiz after the activity.
