Students investigate the migration route of one bird, Osprey B4, using information gathered from satellites to track birds over a two-year period. They coimpare their graphs with maps of B4's migrations that have been plotted by...

Students investigate how to read a topographical map and triangulate with just a map. They convert a compass measurement to a protractor measurement, reverse a bearing direction, and using a worksheet take a bearing of certain landmarks...

Students explore various polygons and examine how shapes can be manipulated in a variety of ways. In this shape tool lesson plan, students identify geometric shapes in two dimensions. Students identify and draw one line of symmetry...

Students solve real life situation using the Pythagorean Theorem. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the length, midpoint and slope of segments. They solve word problems using properties of square roots.

Students create a table of values to graph a line. In this algebra lesson, students identify the slope and intercept of a linear equation. They use a Ticalculator to graph their function.

Students differentiate between ellipse and hyperbola. In this algebra lesson, students graph and solve elliptical equations. They use the cabri program to create the different conics and move them around.

Students collect and analyze data using a graph. In this algebra lesson plan, students explain their findings orally and with a graph. They use their knowledge to solve real life scenarios.

Students solve and graph linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students solve systems of equations using elimination and substitution. They graph their answer and identify the point of intersection.

What did you do over your summer vacation. Young wage earners must compare summer job options, and determine when each job earn the same amount and what that amount be. This be done by creating, graphing, and solving systems of...

In this equations of circles instructional activity, students solve 4 short answer problems. Students find an equation of a circle given the center and radius.

Learners explore linear graphs, the parabola and the rectangular hyperbola.

Students use satellite images to track to movement patterns of deer and examine deer behavior. They write stories about a day in the life of a field scientist.

Eighth graders experiment with M&M's and a cup attached to a spring to to simulate a bungee jump. They graph the results of the experiment and make predictions for continuing the experiment. They determine the "line of best fit."

Sixth graders use centimeter cubes to build structures and then compare and contrast the patterns they see.

Students use both magnitude and direction to locate a place. They use locating techniques to make a temperature field of their classroom.

Fourth graders examine the different types of settlements used in Utah. They take a community map of Utah past and present and compare the two. They create a model of the early types of settlements used by pioneers in Utah.

Seventh graders become familiar with the history and times which influenced a featured mathematician each month. Through Internet research, they gather information about a different mathematician each month. Students solve mathematical...

Students make weather predictions and observations, research the cost of snowboarding equipment, and use their math skills to plot the course of a Giant Slalom Snowboarding event.

Use Glencoe's Math Course 3 randomly generated self-checking quiz to test your knowledge of finding distances on the coordinate plane. Each question has a "Hint" link to help. Choose the correct answer for each problem. At the bottom of...

Find the distance between points, graph points, and interpret data on coordinate planes to solve word problems. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

In this interactive, students use logic and mathematical skill to place aquatic animals at locations on a Cartesian graph with cardinal directions. Then, they determine both the vertical and horizontal distances between points. The...

Site provides exercises for graphing on the coordinate plane including distance formula, midpoint formula, graphs of equations, and graphing using a calculator.

The purpose of this task is for students to find the distance between points that lie in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane. Aligns with 6.NS.C.8.
