Students create multiplication books. Inside, students create addition and multiplication sentences, and write the math equation to represent the sentence.

Seventh graders solve word problems involving real world situation. In this geometry lesson, 7th graders solve problems related to volume. They apply the formulas taught in geometry.

Students study Faraday's law of induction and the equations that show how to calculate electromagnetic induction.  In this electromagnetic instructional activity students complete several experiments on the law of induction.

Students work together to solve word problems. They examine the concepts of functions and relations. They develop plans for roles in the play they are creating.

For this final examination worksheet, students find the tangent function and sine function.  They graph problems on a polar coordinate.  Students describe trigonometric properties.  This twelve-page worksheet contains 80...

Tenth graders investigate relations and functions. In this algebra instructional activity, 10th graders perform or research real life situation involving functions. This assignment can be used as a year end project.  

Twelfth graders solve first order differential equations using the separation of variables technique. In this calculus lesson, 12th graders explain the connection between math and engineering. They brainstorm what engineers do in real life.

Students use equations to represent practical situations. They solve linear equations and quadratic equations. The use of problem solving strategies is also developed.

Pupils relate polynomials to real life situations. In this algebra lesson, students graph equations through modeling and data collection. They must be comfortable doing word problems.

Students build a working definition of regular fractal, look carefully at the concepts of dimension and scale, and are introduced to logarithms. They solve simple exponential equations for the exponent both by trial and error and using...

Students build a working definition of a regular fractal, they measure the concepts of dimensions and scale, they explore the concept of a logarithm and they attempt to solve simple exponential equations for the exponent both by trial...

In this second order ODE's worksheet, students solve 2 different problems that are related to determining the second order ODE's in each equation given. First, they set up an equation where the applied force is the cosine plus the sine...

Pupils generate patterns from a structured situation, find a rule for the general term, and express it in words and symbols. They also devise and use problem solving strategies in a systematic way.

Eighth graders find connections between numbers in a table; use Pythagoras' theorem in a general algebraic form; and measure accurately from a scale drawing to find a method that might enable the helicopter to land inside a rectangular...

Students describe how radioactivity relates to alpha and beta particles. Using their properties, they write a descriptive paper about the gamma rays and alpha and beta particles. They calculate q-values and the half-life of a given...

Middle schoolers explore hardwood tree products and compare hardwood and softwood trees. They compare and contrast hardwood and softwood leaves and read a flier. After reading they solve equations related to how much feet of board would...

A well-designed, comprehensive, and attractive slide show supports direct instruction on how sonar and echolocation work. Contained within the slides are links to interactive websites and instructions for using apps on a mobile device to...

Students visualize a universe with fewer than three spatial dimensions. They consider how more than three spatial dimensions could exist in the universe.

Why does Nia's water taste saltier than Trey's if she put more into her cup than he did? Math masters set up proportions in order to compare the mixtures. This task effectively has learners apply the concepts of ratio and proportion to a...

If I want to build up my heart, where should I start? Science scholars use statistics in a sports physiology setting during an insightful experiment. Groups measure resting and active heart rates and develop a scatter plot that shows the...

Young chemists have unknown compounds they need to sort. Performing three different tests on each, the chemical behaviors they observe become the basis for data analysis. 

Knowing how to scale a recipe is an important skill. Young mathematicians determine the amount of ingredients they need to make a certain number of truffles when given a recipe. They determine a relationship between ingredients given a...

Prompt scholars to complete a magic square using only variables. Then they can attempt to solve a numerical magic square using algebra. 

A function is like a machine that has an input and an output. Challenge scholars to look at the eight given points and determine the two functions that would fit four of the points each — one is linear and the other non-linear. The...
