Provide a graphical view of inverses. Pupils manipulate points on a line and see the relationship of the graph with the graph of its inverse. Using the relationship between the graphs, scholars respond to questions concerning inverses...

Geometric series either get bigger or approach a single number. So, how do you know which it is? An interactive presents three different geometric series with varying common ratios. With the aid of patterns, pupils determine values of r...

Learners explore ellipses by changing the lengths and orientation of the major and minor axis. Using the interactive, they determine the equation of the ellipse and its eccentricity. Given an equation the scholars identify the center,...

Perform a switch to find the inverse of a parametric equation. Pupils match four parametric functions with the graph of the their inverses. Using the graphs, learners determine whether particular points are on the original parametric...

One-to-one means the answer is simple, right? Given four graphs, pupils use a vertical line to test each graph to find out if they are one-to-one. By using the resource, learners realize that not all one-to-one relations are functions....

Log the values of the derivative of a logarithm. The interactive plots the derivative of the natural logarithm. Learners first determine the derivative of natural logarithm and the general logarithm. Using the formulas for the...

How many bones can a dog on a leash reach? Class members move a dog on the end of its leash and determine whether it can reach bones located at specific points. The learners see whether the bone lies on the circle or outside of the...

An interactive resource challenges mathematicians to show what they know about prime factorization. Five multiple-choice, true or false, and discussion questions use chocolate chip cookies to set a real-world application of the...

Decimal place value is the topic of a Battleship themed-interactive. Scholars answer five questions—multiple-choice and true or false—while referencing a grid that acts as the board game. The practice concludes with a discussion...

A five-question interactive challenges mathematicians to solve word problems involving fractions as percents. Baking two different types of cookies and needing the exact amount requires scholars to make fractions, turn them into...

Students explore coordinates and scale drawings. In this drawing to scale activity, students discuss symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes, geometric, shapes and estimation of size.  Students recreate a portion of a drawing using a...

Students examine the impact of sea level on land formations. In this geography and map instructional activity, students construct a contour map model illustrating how much of the clay "coastline" is covered as water is added. Metric...

Learners research the history of stained glass and Mother's Day. They practice mixing colors related to the artistic style of impressionism.Students also research the concept of landscape and how the impressionist artists used them.

Young scholars investigate the biotic and abiotic factors that are found in an aquatic ecosystem. The emphasis is upon the investigation of present an projections of future water quality. Then students visit a local body of water to...

Students consider the role of industry on the American landscape from a variety of perspectives. They investigate a simulated case study. They investigate a chemical spill catastrophe. Students write an informative pamphlet to assist...

Students examine the needs of their community for public space and determine the solutions to math problems related to planning landscape designs. They read and discuss an article from the New York Times, create their own designs for a...

Students listen to a read aloud of Mary Ann Hoberman's A House Is a House for Me before discussing the meaning of habitats and the different types of homes that people live in. Next, they pretend to be architects and design a home for...

In this lunar crater frequency worksheet, students use the power-law function to solve 3 problems related to the number of craters in a given area. They integrate the power-law function to determine their answers.

Students compare and contrast side-scan sonar to other methods used to find objects underwater. In this underwater search lesson, students describe side-scan sonar and make inferences about the topography of an unknown landscape. This...

Hee-haw! Preschool or kindergarten math pupils identify and count different objects in a lively farm landscape. Beneath the picture, each animal or plant is represented pictorially, and little ones simply write the total count for each....

Guernsey, Jersey, Holstein. Brangus, Charoloais, Herford. Here’s a truly cross-curricular resource that combines language arts, science, math, and visual arts activities as class members learn to distinguish between beef and dairy...

Students conduct scientific investigation in which they observe glacial effects on landscape, develop and explain their own theories of how glaciers change land, and demonstrate understanding and explain basic motion and force principles.

Students identify polygons.  In this polygon people lesson, students draw required shapes and construct a polygon person.  They identify each shape and its characteristics.  The lesson may be extended by allowing students...

Students construct a cross section diagram showing elevation changes on a "cookie island." Using a chocolate chip cookie for an island, they locate the highest point in centimeters on the cookie and create a scale in feet. After tracing...
