Young scholars complete activities to study the properties of solids and liquids. In this states of matter instructional activity, students investigate the melting and freezing of a range of materials in a virtual experiment. Young...

Students graph linear equations using slopes and intercepts. For this algebra lesson, students identify the slope as being positive,negative or undefined. They differentiate between different quadrants on a coordinate plane.

Learners use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to solve problems. In this calculus lesson plan, students use the TI to solve the graphing porting of the problem. They practice graphing functions and discuss their place in the real world.

Seventh graders explore surface area. They study the difference between two and three-dimensional objects. The teacher leads a discussion about finding the surface area of different size cubes. In pairs, 7th graders use graph paper to...

Students explore for water on Mars using impact crater morphology. During this lab, students: investigate how to use the equation writing and graphing capabilities in Microsoft Excel, then develop and apply an impact crater...

Eighth graders demonstrate the mathematical components of a scientific problem as well as illustrate how real world problems can be solved using math. They demonstrate math skills such as rate calculation, graphing, and linear equations.

Learners measure and graph temperatures. In this temperature field lesson students use a map to measure and plot field values and construct isolines and interpret the results.

Pupils experiment with skeletons. In this bone health lesson, students analyze, construct, and perform comparative investigations with bones. They make inferences about the structure and function of various bones. This lesson includes...

Learners perform transformations and translation on a coordinate plane. In this geometry instructional activity, students move shapes around on a graph identifying translation, image, and transformation. This instructional activity has...

Students observe the pictures and maps of the Sequoyah Indians. In this Sequoyah lesson plan, students use the maps and pictures to discuss observations and write responses of the Indian point of view.

Students solve problems using ratios and proportions. In this algebra lesson, students identify the unit rate and convert between fractions and decimals. They create graphs from their data.

Students simulate the interactions between a predator population of lynx and a prey population of rabbits. They collect and graph the data, then extend the graph to predict the populations for several more generations.

Learners collect data and create a graph. In this algebra instructional activity, students describe functions graphically, algebraically and verbally. They identify functions as being independent and dependent using variables.

Students follow the food pyramid to create a daily food budget. They research food prices online or in newspapers. They graph the amount of each food group included in their menus. They can also create a weekly food menu based on a fixed...

Young scholars analyze the graphs of polynomial functions, examine vocabulary associated with polynomials, and determine the maximum number of real roots possible for a polynomial

Fifth graders examine and evaluate how active their own lifestyle is by counting how many steps they take on a daily basis. They watch a PowerPoint presentation about healthy lifestyles, record how many steps they take in a day with the...

Students construct tangent lines. In this geometry activity, students identify the point of tangency, secant and tangent lines. They graph the lines on the Ti and make observations.

Students plot on a coordinate plane. In this algebra lesson, students identify points on a coordinate plane and graph lines given coordinate pairs. They create a model as they study bald eagles and their growth and decay.

Learners use information from the Australian Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs Web site to explore multiculturalism and immigration in Australia. They create graphs and charts from immigration data.

Students determine the energy content of various snack foods. They measure the temperature changes in various snack foods as the foods are burned in order to determine the foods' energy content. Students create graphs and data tables of...

Students use a variety of resources to decide on a vacation destination. They locate three points of interest, a hotel, and two restaurants at their destination.Students obtain driving directions for their trip, create a trip budget, and...

Students play a game in which they simulate the interactions between a predator, lynx, and a prey, rabbit. Students collect data on the interactions, graph data, and make predictions for populations of several more generations.

Young scholars explore the physical aspect of a slope. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph a slope and write an equation for a slope. They identify slopes of zero, negative lines and positive lines.

Students use a shoe box to create a seafloor model and use cardboard for layering inside of the shoe box to simulate the ocean floor. They probe the ocean floor to simulate sonar echoes. Finally, students graph their data to get a...
