Fourth graders research to find the regions of Texas.  In this technology instructional activity, 4th graders create a Kid Pix project showing the location of various regions of Texas.  Students show where in those regions...

Learners investigate the slope of various stairways through a "news report" approach and employ mathematical knowledge of applied slope to report on wheelchair accessibility and adherence to Americans with Disabilities Act. They...

Learners investigate the link between countries' population growth rates and levels of industrialization. They observe that, over time, as a country becomes more industrialized, its population growth rate decreases.

Learners identify the physical properties of items using the sense of touch. In this touch and discover lesson, students describe items.  Learners sort items using a Venn diagram.

Young scholars write a paragraph describing a conflict they had with a friend or a family member and a paragraph explaining how it was resolved. In this social science lesson, students share their paragraphs with a partner and then will...

Students identify two types of graphs. They analyze and interpret authentic data shown in bar and pie graphs and complete a graph given specific data. Perform simple functions within an Excel document:

Students evaluate word problems.  In this problem solving lesson, students are presented with word problems requiring graphing skills and students work independently to solve.

Second graders draw a picture of a pond scene which includes various animals. They exchange pictures and tally the number of animals drawn. Then they record the number on a chart and write a story about their pictures.

Fifth graders collect data and prepare data displays using a survey with statistical information.

Ninth graders assess the accuracy and reliability of current survey data and how it is represented. They design a survey, collect data, and use technology to analyze the data and present the results. Students examine scatter plots and...

Studens collect and graph data. In this algebra lesson, young scholars use a CBL and CBR with a TI Calcualtor to observe linear graphs. They use the correct vocabualry as they discuss the collected data.

Students solve and graph linear equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students collect and plot data on a coordinate plane. They use the CBL and TI calculator to graph systems of equation.
