While creating models from data, pupils make decisions about precision. Exercises are provided that require linear, quadratic, or exponential models based upon the desired precision. 

Pupils analyze a pattern of conference tables to determine the number of tables needed and the number of people that can be seated for a given size. Individuals develop general formulas for the two growing number patterns and...

Does Newton's Law of Cooling have anything to do with apples? Scholars apply Newton's Law of Cooling to solve problems in the 29th installment of a 35-part module. Now that they have knowledge of logarithms, they can determine the decay...

Make sure pupils have the skills to move on to the second half of the module with a mid-module assessment task. The formative assessment instrument checks student learning before moving on to the rest of the lessons in the unit.

Math modeling is made easy with the first installment of a 16-part module that teaches pupils to model real-world situations as linear relationships. They create graphs, tables of values, and equations given verbal descriptions.

Clarify the Common Core standards for your eighth grade mathematicians with this series of classroom displays. By rewriting each standard as an achievable "I can" statement, these posters give students clear goals to work toward...

Airline mechanics must be precise, or the consequences could be deadly. Their target ranges alter with changes in temperature and pressure. When preparing an airplane for flight, you must read a maintenance graph. The second lesson of...

Ensure your eighth graders get the most out of their math education with this series of Common Core checklists. Rewriting each standard as an "I can" statement, this resource helps teachers keep a record of when each standard was...

Provide a Hooke for a lesson on elasticity with an activity that has groups investigate a set of springs. They use a set procedure to collect data to calculate the spring constant for each spring using Hooke's Law. The groups...

Practice using linear models to answer a question of interest. The 12th installment of a 16-part module combines many of the skills from previous lessons. It has scholars draw scatter plots and trend lines, develop linear models, and...

Wow! Review an entire semester of biology curriculum playing this Science Jeopardy game! The variety of topics is extremely broad, so you will need to review each question to find if they all apply to your course. As you find material...

Students research the myth of Icarus and his father and discuss the associated metaphor. They view the work of a number of artists and create a painting depicting the myth.

In this listening log rubric worksheet, students are assessed on their understanding of and presentation on musical landscapes through several categories: Locating and Collecting, Listening and Responding, Analyzing and Interpreting,...

Students research water management strategies in Texas. They analyze projected demand for water in the year 2050, interpret graphs and tables and then discuss the data as part of a written report. They research and map the locations of...

Every topic or subject has its own special jargon. Learners work on their math vocabulary as it relates to basic algebra terms. They define and identify function, functional notation, ordered pairs, rate of change, slope,...

Eighth graders investigate slopes using real life scenario. In this algebra lesson, 8th graders model and interpret real life data. They plot their data in a coordinate plane and discuss the results with the class.

Students investigate angles converting them from radians to degrees. In this trigonometry lesson, students work with angles and the six different trig ratios. They graph the functions representing each trig functions and identify the...

In this algebra worksheet, 11th graders solve quadratic functions using the quadratic formula. They identify the negative roots using complex roots. There is an answer key with this problem.

High schoolers graph functions and analyze them. In this calculus lesson, students define limit formally using Epsilon-Delta. They use the TI to graph the function and analyze it.

Students investigate and develop relationships between selected themes and resources. In this Us history lesson plan, students interpret, analyze, and evaluate shifts in continuity throughout US history. Students will create ...

Students interpret drawings and reproduce them in a CAD format.  In this design instructional activity students complete an assembly drawing of a pulley system.

High schoolers describe the structure and function of the United States Supreme Court. They examine and analyze decisions made by the Court. They participate in a debate about recent issues.

Your class will grasp the concept of domain-and range on a graph by using their TI navigator to graph their lines. They observe the effect of a function and non-functions based on the domain and range.

Young mathematicians differentiate between logs and natural logs in this algebra lesson. They solve functions and logarithmic functions. Learners also graph and rewrite the exponential and log functions.
