Space shuttles traveled around Earth at a speed of 17,500 miles per hour, way faster than trains, planes, or automobiles travel! In the 13th installment of 22, groups graph different speeds to show how quickly spacecraft move through...

Transform your scholars into mathematicians as they develop their own geometric definition. The task asks individuals to compare cylindrical objects and create a definition for the disc-ness of each object. They may use any method and...

Develop a new measure of the properties of an object. Scholars develop a definition and formula to measure the bumpy-ness of an object. They utilize their formulas to find the property for several spherical objects.

How can shapes help solve literal equations? Scholars first learn to replace variables with shapes to aid in solving literal equations. A worksheet of practice problems helps hone the skill.

Scholars learn what it means for a relation to be a function and see various representations of functions. After learning the definition, they participate in a card sorting activity classifying relations as functions or not.

Predict the year that college costs will double in your state using linear modeling. The first part of this two-part project based learning activity asks young mathematicians to use data from the College Board. They graph the data,...

You'd feel bad if someone called you by the wrong name — and equations are no different. Young mathematicians learn the vocabulary associated with equations and expressions identifying these components in sample equations.

Reverse the wrapping to get to the gift. Using the idea of unwrapping a gift, the lesson introduces the concept of inverses. Pupils first determine the order needed to evaluate a function at a point, then use the reverse to find the...

Is your class ready to size up the topic of diffusion? Help them get cell shape savvy with a well-written handout. The resource covers how substances such as oxygen passively move through the cell membrane and how cell size and shape...

Does homework improve student achievement, or does it increase stress? Scholars use the included debate topics website to prepare for a class discussion or debate about whether homework is advantageous. After reading a brief background...

Concepts are only valuable if they are applicable. An informative resource uses concepts developed in lessons 26 and 27 in a 36-part series. Scholars write equations and solve for missing side lengths for given right triangles....

Pupils use visual models, numeric methods, and equations to solve percent problems. To complete the second installment of 20, they find the part given the percent and the whole, find the percent given the part and the whole, and find the...

Students compute the length of time it will take to save enough money to purchase a yo-yo. For this math lesson, students create a design with pennies and write the associated linear equation. In this linear equations lesson, students...

Learners estimate the equation of a line, angle of elevation and depression in this math activity. They analyze e famous landmark design and make connections to algebra and geometry. They will also generate an equation, model the x and y...

Learners graph the derivative of functions in this calculus lesson. They use the TI to graph their functions and algebraically take the derivative of each function. They then create a visual and analyze the graph.

Learners relate polynomials to a rollercoaster track as they translate a graph around on a coordinate plane. They differentiate between different forms of algebraic expressions.

Students define a functions and solve problems using functions. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate functions from non-functions. They differentiate between polynomials of higher degrees.

Learners factor trinomials using specific steps. In this algebra lesson, students factor polynomials following the steps on a smart lesson. They review important vocabulary to help with solving the problems.

Students participate in a lesson that is concerned with the solving of multiple step equations and inequalities. The use of algebra tiles translates the information well for the kinesthetic learners. Then the skills are used to solve the...

Pupils find the difference between consecutive y-values on the calculator and write an equation that fits the data.  They continue finding the differences in consecutive y-values using lists on their calculator. Learners...

Single-step addition or subtraction operations are applied in order to solve these 12 simple equations. An answer key is available, not so much for you, but perhaps to be used by learners as a self-correction tool. Note that the...

Explore the concept of building equations for perimeter and circumference. Learners use rulers to measure the perimeter of half a sheet of paper.  Then fold the sheet of paper numerous times, each time measuring perimeter. ...

Students add and subtract integers. In this algebra lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide integers. They apply the properties of numbers as they solve equations.

Students investigate the pros and cons of the lottery. In this algebra lesson, students use the formulas for permutation and combination to test their arguments about the lottery. They collect data about their argument and plot it on a...
