Students work together to discover the flow rates of faucets and rivers. They relate their results to engineering and applied science concepts. They make predictions on the flow rate of a nearby river in their local community.

Students 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 analyze the sliding of boxes along a warehouse floor. In this algebra lesson, students connect math and physics by calculating the friction created by the sliding of each box. They develop faster method to move the box, based on...

Students draw conclusions and make conjectures given a specific scenario. In this geometry lesson, students model real life scenarios using properties of triangles. They model number facts and explain why the outcome is what it is.

Students discover patterns and sequences. They use a website to explore patterns and fractals. Students share their discovery of fractals and their patterns with the class. They develop a list of patterns used in everyday life.

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

Students explore circular functions. They identify the amplitude, period, phase shift and vertical shift of circular functions. Students analyze phenomena described by sine waves and they find mathematical models for transforming images...

Students discover patterns and write conjectures relating to perimeters and polygons. Working in cooperative learning groups, they use manipulatives and graphic organizers to solve problems then answer a series of questions in which they...

The middle schoolers will extend the knowledge of algebraic expressions from geometric representations and ultimately graph linear equations with understanding. The students will also develop a better understanding of algebraic...

In this lesson on a standard form, students explore how to identify and graph a linear equation in standard form.

The resource is a lesson guide that discusses linear equations. Topics include solving simultaneous equations using graphing and algebra, and economic applications.

This collection of five middle school math lessons covers the topic of plane geometry, specifically the concept of slope. The first lesson introduces middle schoolers to plotting points on a Cartesian grid using a Geoboard. Lesson two...

Students will solve systems of linear equations by a variety of methods: graphing, substitution, and elimination. The questions are multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank.

Students learn about four forms of equations: direct variation, slope-intercept form, standard form and point-slope form. They graph and complete problem sets for each, converting from one form of equation to another, and learning the...

This lesson focuses on Interpreting and analyzing linear, quadratic, and exponential models and graphs. Students will use best fit lines to interpret contexts, distinguish whether contexts are linear or exponential functions, use the...

This lesson plan guides students through the use of a graphing calculator to explore the slope and y-intercept of a line.

Students build bridges and test their strength to collect data and write an equation. The concept of slope is explored in this activity.

In this task, 8th graders are presented with two intersecting line graphs and their linear equations. No values are shown on the axes. They are asked to interpret the constants in the equations in terms of their graphs, and make some...
