An interesting instructional activity on hypothesizing about the diameter of a drop of blood that is splattered. To test their theories, learners work in groups to make blood droplets splatter from different heights. They use graphed...

Examine parts of an expression in this algebra lesson. Ninth graders identify the properties of the coefficient and their behavior to the graph. They graph the equation on a TI to see their results.

What happens when you combine 6.022 times 10 to the 23 piles of dirt into one? You make a mountain out of a mole hill. Scholars use dehydration to obtain percent composition and then calculate the molarity of the original...

Students examine a recent flight of Pathfinder. In groups, they use the information to create a table of values showing the battery charge of the space machine. They predict what the charge would be further on in the mission. They use...

Students become acquainted with linear graphs, the parabola and the rectangular hyperbola. Also prepare tables of paired values as preparation for plotting a line. They study the cartesian equation of an ellipse, with a worked example.

Students listen to a story dealing with exponential and linear growth. After reading the story, students complete a table comparing information. Using a calculator, students graph the rice and daily population of flies. They study the...

Students explain the differences between linear (arithmetic) and exponential (geometric) growth. They use worksheets imbedded in this instructional activity to help them make predicitions and graph data points.

Young scholars create a collect data on expenses. In this algebra lesson, students create a spreadsheet to solve scientific equations. They incorporate math, science and technology in this lesson.

Students define patterns, relation and function. In this algebra lesson, students find the slope of a line and write equations of line. They model the slope using real life scenarios.

Students identify he proportion of a cereal box. In this algebra instructional activity, students define the relationship between patterns, functions and relations. They model their understanding using the cereal box.

Young scholars solve problems of inequalities and equations. In this algebra lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide to solve inequalities. They graph their solutions on a number line.

Students explore the concept of statistical data. In this statistical data lesson plan, students read an article about the dangers of peanut butter to those who are allergic. Students perform a taste test of two different brands of...

Seventh graders follow a step-by-step guide for using graphing calculator to determine equations which best fit data graphed. They gather data from various sites on the web, or they do searches to find information necessary to complete...

Students use m&m candies as their sample set. They begin by counting the total number of candies to determine their sample size. Students put the candies into a cup and shake them gently before pouring them onto a paper plate. Count...

Students identify the slope of a line and use it to solve real life problems. In this algebra lesson, students write linear equations in slope intercept form and make a correlation to its relation to the real world. They use the slope an...

Young scholars predict the-outcome of an event. In this algebra lesson, students compare and contrast the probability of an event occurring. They calculate the odds of a simple event and make estimation.

Start this activity with a brief description of how to solve absolute value inequalities. A space is provided to help classify the inequalities into types (greater than, less than, or equal to) and for learners to show how to graph their...

Fourth graders find the range, mode, median, and mean for each of the data sets (height and shoe size). They discuss which measure of central tendency for each data set best represents the class and why. Students graph the shoe size and...

This basic handout would be good for skills practice or a review of parallel and perpendicular lines. Review the definitions, then practice writing equations of lines that pass through a specific point and are either parallel or...
