Delve into the middle of calculus. The resource is the second eBook of three that covers the complete calculus content. Seven chapters begin with integrals and different methods of integration before moving on to differential equations....

Shore up engineering knowledge with some building activities. Scholars design a foam beam, create a structure from playing cards, and construct a paper tower that won't topple over in the wind. Along the way, they learn about engineering...

How do you solve an equation like trigonometry? Learners apply their understanding of trigonometric ratios to find unknown angles in right triangles. They learn the meaning of arcsine, arccosine, and arctangent. Problems include...

How do you find arc lengths and areas of sectors of circles? Young mathematicians investigate the relationship between the radius, central angle, and length of intercepted arc. They then learn how to determine the area of sectors of...

What does math have to do with the behavior of the earth and sun? Learn how the movement of celestial bodies has influenced the development of trigonometry. Scholars connects the details in mathematics to their...

Scholars learn to order rational numbers in the seventh lesson in a series of 21. Reasoning about numbers on a number line allows for this ordering.

Make your own number line ... using a compass. The first installment of a 21-part series has scholars investigate positive and negative integers on a number line by using a compass to construct points that are the same distance from zero...

It's said that opposites attract, but what about opposites of opposites? Individuals learn about the opposite of opposites using number lines. They complete a group activity in which members determine the opposite of opposites of...

Young scholars discover that if a distance is traveled in two or more segments at different average speeds, you cannot average the average speeds. Instead the total distance traveled must be divided by the total elapsed time. Students...

Students calculate distance on a map by using a mileage scale to calculate the distance from their hometown to Niagara Falls. They, in groups, determine the best route, then compose stories about their journey to Niagra Falls.

Students 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 discover the formulas for calculating distance. In groups, they solve equations determine the distance in a specific amount of time. They record their answers in a chart or graph and compare them with their classmates.

Fifth graders investigate how to find the average and the concept of a per unit quantity and its applications. They also make connections of using population density and how to find the speed with its relating formula. This is bringing...

Pupils complete time and distance problems. Using appropriate problem solving strategies, students determine when a helicopter will catch a cruise ship. Pupils write a summary of their solution process. They complete a graph to...

Students plan a voyage as the captain of a tall ship in the early days of exploration and merchant trading. They choose 2 ships and 3 voyages for a total of 6 possibilities. They calculate the number of days and distance of their...

Students investigate the results of different propulsion methods. In this propulsion lesson, students measure the distance a test toy car goes using different types of propulsion. They record the distances in data tables before...

Sixth graders explore the uses of a trundle wheel. In this units of measurement lesson, 6th graders use trundle wheels to measure distances.

In this differentiated whole-group activity learning exercise, students list all the places they visited over the summer, record the places on a flip chart, calculate the distances on a road map and graph the data they collect.

Students classify the planets in the solar system, study planetary objects, and measure the relative distance between planets. In this solar system lesson, students use toilet paper to complete a scale model of the distance between the...

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

Fourth graders watch a video about mapping distances and then calculate the distance their individual mushers travel each day. This occurs each Monday through Friday until each musher has crossed the finish line in Nome Alaska.

Fifth graders measure specified distances when given perpendicular lines. In this measurement lesson plan, 5th graders draw the lines themselves.
