Working with transformations allows the class to take a turn for the better. The short assessment has class members perform transformations on the coordinate plane. The translations, reflections, and rotations create pattern designs on...

Learners determine the distance to a lightning strike. They complete a number of examples that determine the distance to a thunderstorm or lightning strike. They focus on safety during a thunderstorm.

Learners identify the latitude and longitude of various locations and calculate the distance between two given coordinate points. They read an eBook, explore the City Zen program, and complete a worksheet.

Eleventh graders work in groups and investigate how force determines the speed and distance then they view the video, "Math Vantage #7: What's Your Angle?." They are given a real life problem to solve using speed, ramps, angle, incline...

Young scholars compare two object as they find the distance between them. For this geometry lesson, students create an equation describing the distance of time as a function. They use the navigator to observe the distance.

Pupils examine the wattage of a light bulb using math. In this algebra lesson, students find the inverse square of given parameter. They work in groups collecting and analyzing data.

Learners investigate measuring as it relates to the real world. In this geometry lesson, students measure distances as they discuss fractals and how it relates to measuring. They measure both linear and non-linear distances.

Young scholars graph quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson, students relate the parabola to real life applications. They identify the maximum and minimum of the parabola.

Students calculate the slope of the equation In this algebra lesson, students graph coordinate pairs of linear equations and identify the relationship between x and y values and slope.  They differentiate between functions and...

In this advanced math worksheet, students calculate work, average value of a function, and integrate various functions with respect to x. There are 16 questions.

Students participate in a lecture and lab explaining the qualities of a casserole, identifying the different kinds, the function of the ingredients and foods used in the preparation of the casserole.

Students observe the action produced by toy cars. In this geometry lesson, students discuss motion and distance as they relate to the movement of a spherical object.They collect data and make conjectures based on their data.

In this geometry worksheet, students examine similar right triangles as the basis for the foundation of trigonometry. Students define the basic trigonometric functions and use a calculator to find the trigonometric value of an angle. The...

Pupils define basic design vocabulary. They examine fabrics and sort into similar piles, design a picture of a beautiful room and label each art element in the design. They read an article from an interior design magazine and summarize it.

Students investigate various common terms of measurement, sort them into categories, select the uncommon terms, and construct conversion tables for both the common and the uncommon terms of measurement.

Most young mathematicians are aware that the planets don’t orbit the sun in a circle but rather as an ellipse, but have never studied this interesting feature. This resource looks at the planetary orbits in more detail and helps learners...

Students explore seed dispersal by designing their own wind dispersed seed structure. Using one piece of paper and a box fan, they construct a seed dispersal structure, record the distance their seed travels, and answer discussion...

Learners learn about the kinds of fossils and what scientists can learn from them.  In this earth science instructional activity, students are told how engineers and paleontologists work together.  Then learners create a...

Students identify diagrams of quadrilaterals and circles by different names and classify the figures. They name the areas for each diagram and practice solving the formulas for each.

Students engage in a lesson plan that is about the concept of data analysis with the use of quadratics. They use a Precalculus text in order to give guidance for independent practice and to serve as a source for the teacher to use. The...

Students demonstrate their ability to collect, organize, and display data. They examine everyday objects that can be turned into a function machine for the lesson. They use colored fish to help them organize their data.

Second graders read the rules of how they can balance the scale by placing beans in the square, circle, and the triangle. Next, they balance 12 beans using the scale and then try to balance it with 15 beans, and then 18 beans. They then...
