Second graders distinguish between and use nonstandard and standard units of measurement, use appropriate tools and techniques to measure length and width, and record and interpret data using graphs.

Students experiments with levers to determine if the amount of force needed to lift a load is always the same. In this physics lesson, students use Lab-Pro data collector as they experiment with the fulcrum placement to measure the work...

Young scholars investigate the maximum and minimum of a graph as it related to cat food. In this calculus lesson, students analyze the amount of cat food a cat consumes, identifying the maximum and minimum amount. They graph their data...

Sixth graders are introduced to several major constellations and locate them in the night sky. They graph the constellations on grid paper and work in groups to research common myths and stories associated with specific constellations.

High schoolers explore the concept of quadrilaterals as they find the midsegments of quadrilaterals using Cabri Jr. on a graphing calculator. They find midpoints, slopes, angles, and distances of lines and angles.

Students investigate slopes as they study topographic maps. For this algebra lesson, students discuss and apply the concept of slopes to graphing and analyzing data.

How do you find slope? You use points on a line of course. slope. Teach your class how to calculate and differentiate between horizontal and vertical lines. They are sure to be pros at graphing lines on a coordinate plane by the end of...

Learners perform translation and reflection. They identify the coordinate points of the new graph and create a formula for the movement. They identify the pre-image the and after image.

Fourth graders observe, measure, and record data on the basic elements of weather over a period of time (i.e., precipitation, air temperature, wind speed and direction, and air pressure). Then, they make a barometer and keep record of...

Using Cabri Jr. learners construct a circle and determine the equation of the circle they drew by finding the center and the radius. Students use the distance formula to derive the equation of their circle.

In this algebra worksheet, students solve the square root through estimation and through the calculator. They graph their solutions on a number line. There are 4 questions with an answer key.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders calculate ordered pairs using a table to plot the coordinate pairs to make a graph. There are 3 graphing question.

Students examine motion of a sphere on an inclined plane.  In this inclined plane lesson students complete an activity to discover basic relationships.

Test your scholars' knowledge of a multitude of concepts with an assessment aligned to the California math standards. Using the exam, class members show what they know about the four operations, positive and negative numbers, statistics...

Reinforce math vocabulary with a set of flash cards. Forty-eight cards offer boldly printed words, and their corresponding definition alongside an example with labels. Terms include absolute value, inverse operations, slope, and more! 

Five questions make up an interactive that challenges mathematicians to compare unit rates. Word problems question scholars about two friends going on a road trip. Scholars manipulate two cars on a coordinate plane to help solve word...

Get your class outside to observe their surroundings with a lesson highlighting weather patterns and seasonal changes. First, learners take a weather walk to survey how the weather affects animals, people, plants, and trees during...

We all know limestone weathers, but what affects the rate of weathering? Young scientists investigate the physical and chemical weathering of limestone (chalk) through experimentation. First, they conduct trials with different-size...

How many ways can you create a dilation? Many! Individuals strengthen their understanding of dilations by using various methods to create them. The new technique builds on pupils' understanding of the ratio method. Using the ratio,...

Students construct a car based on directions given. In this physics instructional activity, students calculate average speed using distance and time information. They collect data and create a graph of distance vs. time.

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...

Third graders discuss light sources and collect data about energy sources. They compare data and create a multiple line graph showing energy used by light sources for each student in the group. They present their graphs and write a...

Students model projectile motion algebraically and graphically; and make predictions based on the quadratic algebraic model.
