Students use pattern blocks to develop an understanding of algebraic generalization(pattern) in order to write a mathematical equation using algebraic symbols.

Students are assigned to groups, and determine each member's role in the group. They will design an experiment to determine a way to produce the three primary and five secondary colors. Students discuss color and mood. They listen to a...

Students explore number relationships by participating in a data collection activity. In this statistics lesson, students participate in a role-play activitiy in which they own a scrap material storefront that must replenish its...

Ninth graders explore how pendulums function.  For this pendulums lesson students complete a pendulum lab activity. 

Students record data, make observations, and share in experimentation and discussion of numerical experiments.

Ninth graders investigate the concept of relations and interpret graphs and tables. They analyze given data and look for a pattern to determine if the numbers represent a function. Students practice solving scientific word problems that...

In this algebra learning exercise, students figure out the equation of the general vector, they find the orthogonal basis and apply the formula to solve the problems.

Students find the vertex, directrix, and focus of a parabola. They graph parabolic functions and solve application problems involving parabalas.

Students find the vertex, directrix, and focus of a parabola and graph parabolic functions. They solve problems involving parabolas after a demonstration lesson by the teacher.

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

Learners discuss how numbers increase when exponential growth is occurring. They view a video and compare exponential and linear growth with a graphing calculator.

Sixth graders apply problem solving strategies to work with a real life situation in which they need to determine the area. They determine the area of chicken runs that are rectangular in shape when give a partial perimeter.

Students attempt a problem that Students has the potential to have more than one solution. Hence the problem is accessible to a wide range of students. The problem is essentially about finding patterns and this is typical of a number of...

High schoolers devise a strategy to solve problems that is done in a systematic and mathematical fashion. The finding of the unknown value is the focus of the lesson. To solve linear equations proficiently is the skill of the lesson.

Learners use a game to establish the context of solving problems in a systematic and mathematical fashion. They also solve various types of equations to find reasonable solutions.

High schoolers create a table of ordered pairs, using variables (dependent and independent), writing equations, converting metric and standard measurements for distance using mileposts.

Learners collect data and create a graph. In this algebra instructional activity, students describe functions graphically, algebraically and verbally. They identify functions as being independent and dependent using variables.

In this direct variation worksheet, students solve ten questions about direct variation. Each problem is presented in story problem format. Students write the direct variation equation and solve for the required information.

For each of the equations they find the values of the rational expressions. Then they differentiate each expression in relation to the value of t.
