Through learning how to examine linear, quadratic, and exponential functions, students explore the effects of changes in parameters on the graphs of linear, quadratic, and exponential functions.  The lesson is designed to be a...

Sixth graders examine how much energy they use in the form of battery power. They examine the cost of using regular vs. rechargeable batteries and examine the effect on the environment of the two types of batteries. They discover that...

Students eat a Korean meal with proper table manners. They compare American table manners to Korean with at least 3 similarities and 3 differences. They write a brief essay and describe, list and demonstrate the proper Korean...

Students read about the changes in the "new money" and then create a graph to represent various combinations of currency produced.

Students construct a bridge that can hold 100 pennies. In this math instructional activity, students evaluate the strength of their bridges. They predict how much weight a bridge can hold based on its design.

Students solve problems dealing with ratios and proportions. In this algebra lesson, students rewrite word problems using equations and symbols. They correctly convert between percents and decimals.

Students investigate the forces present in a rotating body. In this physics lesson, students calculate centripetal force using a mathematical equation. They answer a quiz and writing prompt at the end of the lesson.

Students solve word problems using the correct math symbols. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI calculator to graph their equation and analyze it. They find the line of regression and use to draw conclusion.

Students graph linear equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students investigate the price of tolls in different states and create a graph. They analyze their graph and draw conclusions.

Students analyze linear functions. In this algebra instructional activity, students create a linear model to relate coordinate pairs. They evaluate and solve equations.

Students complete their examination over the Jewish Diaspora. Using population figures, they discover the importance of percentages in exploring trends. They use their own ethnic group and determine how it is represented in the United...

Students investigate quadratics through word problems. In this algebra lesson, students models the number of registered males in apprenticeship programs. They investigate the transformation of quadratic function on a coordinate plane.

Students observe a pendulum and graph their observation. In this algebra instructional activity, students use the TI calcualtor to graph the motion the pendulum makes. They analyze the graph and make predictions.

Young scholars create graphic, algebraic and verbal ideas of functions. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph functions and identify the zeros of the functions. They find the domain and range and classify functions as relation or not.

High schoolers explore the concept of finding the composition of seawater.  In this finding the composition of seawater instructional activity, students make a saturated salt water solution.  High schoolers discuss why there is...

Students participate in a variety of instructional experiences about Computer Science. They define Computational Science and describe computational simulation. They also compare and contrast Computational Science and Computer Science.

A comprehensive guide for learning all about scatter plots with definitions, how to construct and solve them, types of scatter plots, solved examples, and practice questions.

This inquiry is intended to provide students with practice developing investigable questions that need data, and specifically large datasets, to be answered. Click the teacher resources link for teaching guides and student handouts.

The CyberSquad searches for Hacker's castle based on a survey of where town residents have last seen him in this video from Cyberchase.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This Concept introdices scatterplots and linear correlation for bivariate data.

Students estimate the ages of famous people, then create a scatterplot with the actual ages. This activity allows them to estimate with linear equations. You can access the age data through the "activity" link.

Students will to organize data from the USA TODAY Snapshot, "Is leisure time really shrinking?," into two scatter plots and determine the quadratic model for each scatter plot. Students will determine if these graphs intersect and learn...

This lesson plan provides a real-world example of using a scatter plot to compare data. It gives an assessment and ideas for remediation, extension as well as ways to manage behavior problems and reluctant learners.

Students will learn and reinforce skills for creating and analyzing scatterplots and histograms; using cost-benefit analysis to make predictions from data and using tree diagrams to understand outcomes of events.
