Students calculate the speed, motion and distance of a projectile. In this geometry lesson, students obtain measurements while calculating velocity. They graph their results and make predictions.

Students use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students solve for the distances by calculating the different parts of the shape of a two and three dimensional shape. They reason by analogy.

Students identify the relationship between the radius and Pi. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the circumference and area of a circle. They create visuals to help them see how the circumference relates to Pi.

Students add up the different angles using the angle addition postulate. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between interior and exterior angles. They calculate the different angles for triangles and use proof to show their...

Young scholars create a spreadsheet to analyze data. In this technology lesson, students develop and use an Excel spreadsheet to log their data. They solve real life word problems as they set it up using the spreadsheet.

Students calculate United States GDP and GDP per capita, use a choropleth map to acquire information, and create choropleth maps of GDP per capita in South America. They identify regions with high and low GDP per capita

Students investigate modular clock arithmetic and cryptography. They perform basic operations in modular (clock) arithmetic and encode and decode messages using simple shift and affine ciphers.

Students are introduced to the notion of a complex number and function iteration in order to motivate the discussion of Julia sets and the Mandelbrot set.

Students identify the basic transformations of parent functions. They use their graphing calculator to create a transformation booklet by folding a sheet of computer paper in half and stapling along the folded edge.

Ninth graders establish a food budget based on individual needs and resources. They evaluate grocery stores and establish guidelines for purchasing specific foods.

Students complete several games and experiments, tally and graph their results. They figure the mean, median, range and/or average of their graphs to describe class results. They consider which statistic best represents the data at hand.

High schoolers explain that regressive taxes can have different effects on different income groups. They see how a regressive tax takes a larger share of income from low-income groups than from high-income groups.

What did you do over your summer vacation. Young wage earners must compare summer job options, and determine when each job earn the same amount and what that amount be. This be done by creating, graphing, and solving systems of...

Students observe and solve examples of betweenness, ruler postulate, and segment addition postulate. They complete the Finding the Measure of Segments worksheet using the distance formula.

Young scholars examine and discuss typical linear equations, and the difference between a linear and nonlinear equation. They observe examples of linear equations and complete a worksheet.

Students examine the use of variable and ratio in everyday situations including figuring out the gear ratios for the gears on a 12 speed bike. They use the bubble sort technique to write a computer program which will determine the...

Students complete a simulation designed to show them the importance of budgeting and avoiding living paycheck to paycheck.

Students problem solve to calculate the number of times various listed objects could fit onto Tacoma Narrows Bridge. They create a scale drawing of the listed objects in comparison to the bridge.

Students use a NASA website do activities which help them better explain how air temperature and kinetic energy are related to aircraft propulsion.

Young scholars use a NASA website to use a given formula to find acceleration and distance after a specific time and how it relates to engine propulsion.

Students, in groups, design and create a model of a tree stand or house. They create a budget using given criteria. They try to sell it to the class.

Students investigate track and field dimensions, measure an actual track, and construct a scale model. The use of a meter stick, dimensional analysis, and the application of the distributive property to variables forms the main focus of...

Students participate in a simulation in which the aim is for the tortoise to catch up with the hare or vice versa. Moves are decided by throwing two dice. Adding together the numbers on the two dice tells you which animal moves one...

Students explore physics. They investigate the strategies used by an engineer to solve a problem. Students construct various models to solve the problem. They display their solutions and explain how they solved the problem.
