Pupils solve right triangles using the Pythagorean Theorem.  For this solving right triangles using the Pythagorean Theorem lesson, students find the missing side of a right triangle.  Pupils find the hypotenuse given two legs...

Learners use graphing calculators to graph lines and create tables of values. They perform an experiment using M&M's and slinkys, then create their tables based on their results.

Students manipulate negative and positive numbers. In this integers lesson plan, students move through three activities exploring negative and positive whole numbers. A number line, cardboard function representation, and solving...

Eighth graders practice using the LIST key on graphing calculators using the proper syntax. They work with the functions of mean, median, and mode in a teacher led lesson and then with a partner on a second data set. They follow...

Fourth graders investigate repeating and growing patterns. Models, graphs and words are used to describe, extend and represent patterns. Students use evidence from models and graphs to support the identification of patterns.

Students explore the concept of ellipses. In this ellipses lesson, they construct ellipses on their paper and follow directions on a worksheet that allow them to investigate an ellipse in more depth by looking at the major axis, foci, etc.

High schoolers explore the graphing calculator feature on the Macintosh computer to explore some "parent" functions and their translations, combinations, and composites.

Tenth graders investigate three different sets of data that relate temperature to another variable in the physical world. These illustrate linear, inverse and exponential relationships.

Middle schoolers practice the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of integers. They view a video clip on addition and subtraction of integers. Students observe a Web site that reviews multiplication and division of...

Students learn about four forms of equations: direct variation, slope-intercept form, standard form and point-slope form. They graph and complete problem sets for each, converting from one form of equation to another, and learning the...

This lesson culminates the unit with the Go Public phase of the legacy cycle. In the associated activities, students use linear models to depict Hooke's law as well as Ohm's law. To conclude the lesson, students apply they've learned...
