Second graders learn about plant systems and how plants grow and function. In this plant lesson plan, 2nd graders collect data based on roots, leaves, terrariums, plant uses, and locations of certain kinds of plants. They fill out...

Students graph polynomial equations using different methods. In this algebra lesson, students identify the different ways the x and y values relate in a graph. They solve for x by finding the zero's of the polynomials.

Students graph systems of equation. In this algebra lesson, students find where the lines cross and identify the type of solution. They analyze a graph and write the equation of the line.

Learners investigate properties of logarithmic function as they add, subtract and multiply logarithms. They graph and analyze the graph for exponential equivalency.

Studetns use a spreadsheet to organize data on the sides of a triangle. They use the Pythagorean Theorem and the If then spreadsheet function to decide whether the three sides determine a right triangle. Students work individual...
