Students make predictions about the global temperature of the earth and to see how this is dependent upon a number of variables. Students visualize how changing parameters can impact the global temperature of the earth.

Sixth graders apply problem solving strategies to work with a real life situation in which they need to determine the area. They determine the area of chicken runs that are rectangular in shape when give a partial perimeter.

Working with real world applications of quadratic models, students solve four practical problems requiring the use of the quadratic equation. They are guided through the process by a series of questions following each problem.

Young scholars explore the concept of adding and subtracting using positive and negative numbers. In this addition and subtraction of signed numbers lesson, students use pennies to represent positive and negative numbers. Young scholars...

Second graders use a number line to practice subtraction.  In this subtraction instructional activity, 2nd graders use a number line to count backwards.  Students participate in mad math activities and solve problems.

The objective of this activity is to find the percent of the area of a two squares overlapping. Mathematicians find the ratio of area for the part that overlaps to the rectangle formed. The final answer is a percent as a rate per 100....

Students experiment to determine the effect of light on cyanobacteria movement. They graph the data of the experiment for further analysis. They watch a time-lapse video of cyanobacteria motility at a NASA website.

This simple online resource is perfect for those just starting to simplify expressions. They solve by simplifying 12 expressions.

Eighth graders use a meter stick that is placed on a horizontal surface and an object is moved along it so that the shadow length can be measured at different distances from the light source. They solve real-world problems involving...

Students find the area and perimeter of rectangular figures. They use this information to find patterns and discover relationships between area and perimeter. Students apply and explain formulas relating to perimeter, area, and volume.

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...

Mathematics is all about patterns. Young mathematicians analyze geometric patterns to write algebraic expressions. They use the expressions to predict future stages of the patterns.

Get a line on the snakes. The assessment task requires the class to determine the species of unknown snakes based upon collected data. Individuals analyze two scatter plots and determine the most likely species for five...

Find that slope! This video does an excellent job of demonstrating how to use the slope formula to find the slope of a line using two points. The instructor first reviews the definition of slope of a line, then works three problems using...

Students review the Madeline Hunter Direct Instruction Model. They incorporate objectives, standards, anticipatory set and modeling. Students use guided practice/monitoring and closure daily.

Build a scale model of a home built out of shipping containers. A hands-on activity has scholars watch a video about a home built from shipping containers and then design their own home. They build scale models of their designed homes...

Students discuss how numbers increase when exponential growth is occurring. They view a video and compare exponential and linear growth with a graphing calculator.

Learners research propulsion, graph data, and interpret the results.

student make predictions or draw conclusions based on physical and visual representations of profit and sales. They model problems with physical materials and visual representations, and use models, graphs and tables to draw conclusions...

Twenty problems present a variety of practice solving inequalities in one variable. They are given with each step to the solution cleverly revealed one at a time. You can work each step of the problem then click the "View Solution"...

This resource provides a look at linear equations and inequalities, from how to solve them to how to use them as models for word problems, with lots of examples.

When given a table, equation or verbal description, students will solve one- and two-variable equations and inequalities using algebraic steps or graphing methods.

In this lesson, 7th graders will learn how to write and graph inequalities to represent real-life situations.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students learn to graph linear inequalities on the coordinate plane. Students examine guided notes, review guided practice, watch instructional videos and attempt...
