In this similar triangles learning exercise, students use proportions to solve for the missing sides of similar triangles. This two-page learning exercise contains 16 multi-step problems.

Analyze data on a graph to answer three questions after a robot race. Learners practice comparing ratios and reading points on a graph. Answers may vary on the last question based on accuracy of graphing. Use the lesson along with...

A very simple example of a functional relationship between depth of water and time is shown here. In fact, it might be more useful to use a coastal tide book to better illustrate this real-world experience. Pupils are to count the number...

This lesson plan entails the viewing of two videos to get an overview of force and its application. The lesson plan covers how vectors use force in real-world situations.

Students use the quadratic formula to solve application problems. The first problem relates to the path of a football thrown from the top of the bleachers. Students compute the time it will take the football to reach certain heights. In...

For this earthquake worksheet, students determine the distance of the epicenter based on the S-waves and P-waves on a seismograph. This worksheet has 4 problems to solve.

Students investigate how Global Positioning Systems work and how and why GPS receivers make errors. They graph data points and apply estimation and prediction to real-life GPS situations, discuss time delay, and complete a worksheet.

Students use the equation to calculate the vertical distance an object fall during 1 second in 1/10 second increments. (The acceleration due to gravity on the Earth=a= 9.8 m/s2) Using a graphing calculator, students plot the path of a...

In this rate graphing worksheet, learners graph four examples of rate vs. time. Then students complete 20 short answer questions.

In this algebra worksheet, students identify the graph that goes with-the equation. They solve word problems using graphs. There are 4 problems with an answer key.

Students investigate speed, time and distance. In this algebra lesson plan, students utilize their knowledge of linear equations to solve problems related to time, speed and distance. This assignment is hands on using two toy race cars.

Math masters are introduced to graphing inequalities on a number line. After reviewing inequality symbols, they practice representing them on a worksheet. This simple lesson serves its purpose.

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

Find the faster rate. The resource tasks the class to compare proportional relationships represented in different ways. Pupils find the slope of the proportional relationships to determine the constant rates. They then analyze the...

Run like a cheetah. A performance task challenges pupils to solve several different problems involving the speed of a cheetah. Given information for scenarios where the cheetah chases its prey, they determine if the big cat is fast enough.

Serve four towns with one bus route. Pupils develop a bus route that meets certain criteria to serve four towns. They determine which of the routes would best serve all of them. Individuals then hypothesize where a fifth town should be...

Students determine how the slope affects the graph of a line. They relate "b" to the "y"-intercept of a line and solve the equation of a line given "m" and "b." They are given scenarios and possible answers to which they explain why or...

In this Algebra I/Algebra II worksheet, students solve quadratic equations by graphing and by taking the square root of both sides.  The two page worksheet contains a combination five multiple choice and free response...

Learners identify different types of functions and units of measurements. In this statistics lesson, students will collect data, graph their data and make predictions about their data. They plot a linear regression graph.

Students conduct a webquest on an energy source they chose. In this physics lesson, students design an experiment to determine the factors affecting potential and kinetic energy. They calculate speed and create distance vs. time graphs.

Students work together to build lego cars. They make predictions about how fast they believe the cars will go. They record their observations and discuss their results.

What is the most popular way to get to school? Have students interview their peers to discover how and when they get to school. Then learners will graph the results. Consider providing statistics from other classes for your older...

For this secondary mathematics learning exercise, high schoolers collect data based on a person’s motion. From this data, students create graphs comparing displacement, velocity, and acceleration to time. The five-page learning exercise...
