This resource is part of a series which expects participants to be familiar with graphing inequalities on a number line. It is a word problem that asks your class to graph a discrete solution set and interpret it in the context of an...

Model the difference between the graphs of discrete and continuous functions. Scholars examine two scenarios and construct graphs to model the situation. They then compare their graphs that illustrate the subtle difference between these...

In this continuous probability distribution worksheet, students identify discrete and continuous distributions. They calculate the linear combination of the independent normal random variable and determine probabilities using exponential...

Choose to supplement your probability unit with this resource and you won't be disappointed with the outcome. Teach young mathematicians to organize information using tree diagrams and lists in order to determine the possible outcomes of...

Find the best path through town. The instructional activity teaches future computer programmers about networks and paths in graph theory. They develop a network of their towns to determine the most efficient path to visit each of their...

Use mathematics to help plan a field trip. Scholars use the results of a survey to determine where a class should go on a field trip. They use provided data about entrance fees and mileage to calculate the cost per person of such a...

Represent the ups and downs of a bank account. The two-part task points out that some types of graphs may better show discrete functions than others. Pupils analyze a graph on how well it represents the situation. They develop their own...

While creating models from data, pupils make decisions about precision. Exercises are provided that require linear, quadratic, or exponential models based upon the desired precision. 

Don't leave this task on the shelf — use it is assess middle schoolers understanding of patterns. Participants try to discover a pattern in the number of bricks and planks used to make shelves. They then match descriptions...

Examine and compare a linear and step function. The task provides two scenarios, one modeled by a linear function and the other a step function. Pupils create a graph for each and explain how each compares to the other.

Represent ratios using a variety of methods. Classmates combine the representations of ratios previously learned with the coordinate plane. Using ratio tables, equations, double number lines, and ordered pairs to represent...

A TI-nspire lesson to find determinants of matrices using calculators. The class follows along in this step by step activity to explore operations on matrices. They will mostly be multiplying and at the end of the lesson they are guided...

Fe, phi, fo, fum. This activity leads pairs to find the ratio of consecutive terms of the Fibonacci sequence. The pairs find that the Fibonacci sequence can be found in many places. A discussion with the class shows that the ratios...

In this interactive Internet  assignment, physical science investigators answer 11 questions about the atom, the subatomic particles, and atomic structure. They can click on "Reveal Answer" to discover if they are correct. They also...

How many visual models can be used to show multiplication? Three basic kinds of models can be used to represent and explain the equation 4 x (9 + 2).  The commentary section provides description and graphics to explain the set...

In this numeric and visual patterns worksheet, students continue the numeric and visual patterns given to them. Students are given 16 patterns.

In this math worksheet, students read the discussion about the importance of games. They create a game as directed. They also read the rules for the Pascal Triangle.

Often inequalities exist in many real-world contexts but young math learners struggle with understanding how to represent that relationship in a simple equation using an inequality. This activity focuses on the basic concepts by using...

In this data management and probability applications worksheet, 8th graders solve 20 various types of probability problems. They find the mean, median, mode and range of various numbers. Then, students use the spinner illustration to...

In this physics worksheet, students solve 19 problems on rectifying diodes. They answer a series of conceptual questions that can be tested by building the circuit shown.

In this physics activity, students complete 17 short answer questions about rectifier circuits. They use the test equipment to check their answers.

In this electrical learning exercise, learners design and build a circuit board to grasp the understanding of circuit design including clipper and clamper circuits and  before answering a series of 21 open-ended questions that...

In this physics learning exercise students complete a series of short answer questions on different circuitry and how things operate. 

In this Zener diode worksheet, student answers 23 questions about DC current though a zener diode and determine the voltage regulated and resisted. Students can access answers online.
