Eleventh graders sort different types of functions including rational, periodic, exponential, polynomial, quadratic, logarithmic and linear using "function cards." The functions are displayed in multiple representations including...

Students identify the types of information gathering styles and different surveying styles. They distribute a survey around your school to determine the different forms of transportation used to get to school.

Second graders take a bus tour to discover different businesses, schools, and other buildings located in the community. They then learn about the different types of technology that is used in the community.

Students brainstorm list of possible highest locations in Oregon, identify and label places from list on map using color code, and discuss and identify causes of a rain shadow.

Students describe, make and compare polygons. In this creating polygons lesson, students identify properties of quadrilaterals and describe common features of two dimensional shapes.

Students search for items in various parts of the newspaper noting the different types of information it provides.

Young scholars identify critical points on a graph. For this calculus lesson, students graph their equations on the TI calculator. They zoom in and out to identify the critical points.

Learners observe the changes seen in succession and the biodiversity of a community through its species richness and evenness. They create a dung culture in a clear plastic cup from horse, goat or cow dung then observe the numbers of...

Learners in second grade are paired with fifth grade computer research buddies. They observe the characteristics of caterpillars, and identify the four stages of the caterpillar to butterfly life cycle. They graph the number of...

Students conduct a survey about Halloween candy and create a bar graph illustrating the data. In this data analysis instructional activity, stud nets are introduced to the topic with a discussion and survey, then the class creates a...

Students identify patterns and compute formulas to solve the problems. In this algebra lesson, students come up with a rule given a pattern, and analyze the relationship between data and graphs.

Students define exponential functions and graph the equation. In this algebra lesson, students discuss exponential growth and decay as they graph their functions. They differentiate between the base of growth and decay.

Students after completing this lesson, identify variables that affect the system, and specify which variables are independent; which are dependent. They represent data in a data table and a graph and analyze data and make predictions.

Students investigate the weather by reading children stories.  In this weather observation instructional activity, students read Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs and several other stories about weather before they create a KWL...

Students identify the location of the 50 states using an interactive map. They practice geography skills by playing a fun game. Pupils become familiar with the state abbreviations for the US states. Students become familiar with the...

Students describe the impact of modern technology inventions on daily life. They create a graph of the class's favorite item of technology and draw a picture of their favorite piece of modern technology.

Young scholars identify the relationship between kinetic energy, mass, and velocity. Then they explain and graph the relationship between kinetic energy and mass. Students also predict the impact of objects of different mass and...

Students investigate the origins of the Jelly Bean. They complete a Scavenger Hunt using the jellybean website. Pupils create a bar graph using information collected about jelly beans. Students discuss the time of year that Jelly Beans...

Sixth graders graph translations (slides) and reflections (flips) on a coordinate plane. They visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. Finally, 6th graders write a paragraph telling...

Young scholars perform transformations on their graphs. In this algebra lesson, students identify the pre-image and image. They find and identify congruent shapes and isometry.

Students identify the relationship between Canada and its trading partners. They use two data sources, Canadian Statistics and E-STAT, on the Statistics Canada website to explore the growing importance of trade in general.

Students examine the effects of hearing loss. For this lesson on physical disabilities, students survey five older adults on hearing impairments. Students pool their data and compare their results with the results from other studies...

Label angles of parallel lines to analyze the angles created by a transversal and two parallel lines. They graph their lines and observe the similarity and difference in the angles.

Students are introduced to the need to save natural resources. Through inquiry, hands-on activities, and problem solving, students increase their understanding of solid waste materials and the need to reduce, recycle, and reuse.
