Young scholars collect data on baseball plays. In this statistics lesson, students graph their data and make predictions based on their observation. They calculate what the probability is that a favorable outcome would happen.

Students take photos of objects and write an equation. In this equations with photos lesson, students take pictures of objects around the school that have the shape of mathematical items learned in class. Students also draw in an x-axis...

Students complete multi-curricular activities in a Halloween themed lesson. In this Halloween lesson, students examine newspaper ads to find prices of pumpkins and use them to complete a stem and leaf plot. Students find the diameter,...

Students identify protists under a microscope, and using a stopwatch calculate the speed of a protist from a pond water sample. They use distance and time to identify the speed of a protist, and create a distance versus time graph to...

Students participate in and conduct a survey to determine various class favorites. They collect, organize and display their data, interpret the results, and complete a packet of worksheets to display the information.

Students explore the effects of a declining fossil fuel system would have on the world. They read the line graph and other information to answer questions about fossil fuels. Students use mathematics to analyze graphical data and...

Learners identify relation, function, patterns and range. In this algebra lesson, students factor and graph quadratic equations. They use transformation to move the parabola around and make predictions.

Fifth graders make a graph and write an essay to interpret the data of birds that take advantage of habitats near rice farms. In this data lesson plan, 5th graders calculate the information given to them and interpret it in an essay form.

Learners investigate properties of regular polygons. In this geometry lesson, your class will use a graphing calculator and parametric equations to construct regular polygons and investigate the relationship between the measure of...

Students experiment with acids and bases using technology-based "probe-ware", computers, and household products in this exciting biology/chemistry lesson. The lesson was written for an advanced 6th grade class.

Students explore the significance of a resting and an active heart rate. In this heart lesson students chart data on their pulse and draw a diagram of the heart.

Students differentiate between inductive and deductive reasoning. For this geometry lesson, students identify congruent figures and examine logos for congruency.

Students form "companies" of 3-4 students and build bottle rockets for analysis and experiment. This lesson plan uses NASA's RcketModeler Version 1.2 rocket simulator to evaluate each rocket's flight.

Pupils make equations from everyday data. They create a graph from the equations. Students predict and analyze the results. Pupils complete the second scenario on their own and turn in their handout.

Students calculate the volume of solids. In this calculus lesson, students apply the Disk and Washer Method to solve for the volume of three dimensional objects. They calculate the volume caused by rotation that create...

Young scholars factor trinomials correctly. In this algebra lesson, students review the rules for factoring trinomials. They factor different polynomials as they relate the same concept and idea to facoring trinomials.

Middle schoolers speculate on the better rate of pay: a dollar a day for 10 days, or a penny the first day, two pennies the second, doubling each day for 10 days. Start by listening to the story The King's Chessboard, by David Birch....

Examine data and graph solutions on a coordinate plane with this algebra activity. Young problem-solvers identify the effect of the slope on the steepness of the line. They use the TI to graph and analyze linear equations.

Learners define functions to be graphed using the Y=key. They demonstrate how to set up a standard viewing screen using Zoom 6. They discuss and explore mathematical questions on a worksheet.

In this algebra activity  uses factoring to solve and graph quadratic equations. The three page activity contains explanation of topic, worked examples and five practice problems. Answers are not provided. 

Middle school scientists compare and contrast heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures. They differentiate solutions, colloids, and suspensions by examining samples of each. Note that the bulk of the lesson plan directs you how to...

Graph polynomials and identify the end behavior of each polynomial function. The class differentiates between linear, quadratic, and other polynomial equations.

High schoolers factor polynomials and linear functions and apply concepts of the fundamental theorem of algebra to solve problems. They graph their solutions and analyze the graph.

Students differentiate between exponential growth and decay. In this algebra lesson, students solve exponential equations using properties of exponents. They use the Ti calculator to graph and analyze their functions.
