Modeling Population Growth
Learners collect data on population growth. In this statistics lesson plan, students graph their data and make predictions. They find the linear regression and the best fit line.
Curated OER
Iterating Linear Functions
Students use a spreadsheet to investigate data. In this algebra lesson plan, students collect and graph data on a coordinate plane. They explain properties of a linear equation both algebraically and orally.
Curated OER
Distance Calculations
Students calculate the distance between two points. In this geometry lesson, students use coordinates and the distance formula to find the distance. They perform an interactive lesson to solve the missing length.
Curated OER
Symmetry in Kaleidoscope Designs
Students define reflection, rotation and symmetry. In this symmetry lesson, students move the graph around the coordinate plane and identify the line of symmetry. They identify the different designs of a kaleidoscope.
Curated OER
Line, Ray, Segment
Young scholars define vocabulary words. In this geometry lesson, students identify the graph as a line, ray or segments. They understand the properties of each and calculate the distance on a number line.
