Students explore the concept of slope.  In this Algebra I lesson, students investigate the definition of slope as rise over run or change in y compared to change in x.  The lesson includes a real-world problem in which the...

After finishing The Catcher in the Rye, review new vocabulary with an individualized bingo game. Class members develop a list of new vocabulary drawn from the novel or literary devices studied during the unit. Individuals then place...

The slope of the land is an important feature when considering the erosion that will occur. In this resource, which is part of a rain garden unit, learners calculate the slope of the proposed garden site. Even if you are not planning a...

Students explore vertical and horizontal measurement of large objects. In pairs, they measure the trunk, crown, and height of a tree, create a graph of their results, and compare their results with their classmates.

Students experiment with balance to learn about verticle balance, horizontal balance, center of gravity, and become active problem solvers and "scientists." Student engage in manipulating and changing experimental materials.

Students outline several objects such as glue bottles, large paint brushes, scissors, etc. They add a few details to each object such as labels, handles, etc. and then draw two vertical lines and two horizontal lines across the page.

In this reverse T Chart worksheet, students are given free reign to fill in each side of the chart. A vertical line runs the length of the page, and three horizontal lines sit at the bottom. This worksheet lends itself to writing a...

Sixth graders examine how to locate coordinate points. In this coordinate graphing instructional activity, 6th graders locate the x and y axis. Students use their arms to show horizontal and vertical lines, participate in group and...

Learners calculate the position, distance and velocity using functions in this calculus lesson. They investigate horizontal motion through the derivative of functions and use the TI to create a visual of their function.

For this drawing a model to multiply fractions with unlike denominators, learners review the steps for drawing the models and apply them to solve a word problem and equations. Students solve seven problems.

Students travel one at a time in a straight-line path and attempt to maintain a constant velocity. While one student walks, jogs, or runs, the other group members time the "runner" while standing at five-meter intervals along the path....

In this functions worksheet, students solve and complete 11 different types of problems. First, they find the coordinates of all points on the graph of each equation where the tangents to the graph are horizontal. Then, students write...

Students determine the angle of launch that will give a projectile its greatest range. In this projectile motion lesson, students recognize that the motion of a projectile results from the combined horizontal and vertical velocities....

In this electrical learning exercise, students answer a series of 25 questions about the use and understanding of an oscilloscope used by electrical technicians. This learning exercise is printable and the answers are revealed on-line.

Pupils graph polynomial functions and analyze the graphs. They identify the inverse of the functions and find the domain and range. Learners will then label the functions as one to one and use the horizontal and vertical line test to...

Students play various games to help create a classroom community. In this name recognition lesson, students combine their name recognition skills with newly learned art and geometric vocabulary. First students discover vocabulary that...

Sixth graders complete several activities that involve coordinates and graph paper. They visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. Finally, 6th graders draw and label a coordinate...

In this thermometric titration activity, learners investigate the temperature changes when an acid neutralizes an alkali. High schoolers graph their results from the titration and draw the two best-fit lines on their graph. Where the...

Students observe bacteria that are able to orient themselves using the Earth's magnetic field.They comprehend the difference between anaerobic and aerobic organisms. Students can tell the difference of the shape of magnetic force field...

Students produce a graph of favorite colors.  For this graphing lesson, students create a human graph based on their favorite color then the teacher transfers the data to a bar graph.  Students compare the lines on the graph...

Fifth graders identify lines of symmetry., similar and congruent shapes. They use construction paper to create their own symmetrical shapes. Students create stained glass frames containing symmetrical, congruent and similar shapes.

Young scholars make their own puzzle grid that illustrates the number of sit-ups students in a gym class did in one minute, then they make a histogram for this same data. Then they title their graph and label the scales and axes and...

Students examine U.S. Census figures. In this urban centers lesson, students compare city populations across the span of 50 years. Students create line graphs based on the data.

In this Super Bowl worksheet, students create line plots of all winners and losers of the Super Bowl.  They create stem-and-leaf plots, scatter plots, and bar graphs of football data.  This one-page worksheet contains...
