Students determine if there is an associationm in a scatter plot of data. They analyze data through predictios, comparisons, and applications. Students calculate the line of best fit using a graphing calculator. They display data in...

Students estimate and calculate the distance of a shape. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between a horizontal distance and it's reflected image. They measure the reflection and the point starting at the eye of the observer.

Young scholars identify relation, function, patterns and range. In this algebra lesson, students factor and graph quadratic equations. They use transformation to move the parabola around and make predictions.

Studens identify the properties of exponents. In this algebra lesson plan, students grapha nd solve equaitons of exponential functions. They add, subtract, multiply and divide using exponents.

Pupils use properties of exponents to solve equations. For this algebra lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide exponential functions. They graph and differentiate between exponential growth and decay.

Young scholars identify the slope of a line and use it to solve real life problems. In this algebra lesson plan, students write linear equations in slope intercept form and make a correlation to its relation to the real world. They use...

Students solve problems with percents, decimals and fractions. In this algebra lesson, students convert between fractions, percents and decimals. They estimate their answers and calculate their answer.

Practice factoring numbers by using graph paper, manipulatives and computer applets.

In this measurement lesson, learners examine the Pythagorean Theorem, perimeter, and areas of right triangles. They record their measurements and research their findings on a grid.

Turn young scholars into detectives as they decipher encrypted messages.  Introduce your class to modular arithmetic and have a little fun encrypting and decoding secret messages. The activity does not hit many content standards,...
