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

Money can't buy happiness, but it can put food on the table and pay the bills. The first of a five-lesson unit teaches pupils about the unemployment rate in 1963 and its relationship with the March on Washington. They learn how to create...

A cross-curricular resource teaches and reinforces mathematical concepts with several activities that use parts of a newspaper. Scholars use scavenger hunts to find the different ways math is used in the paper along with using data...

In this regression analysis learning exercise, 9th graders solve 10 different word problems related to regression analysis. First, they use the information given to find a suitable function to model the data. Then, students use the model...

In this least squares worksheet, students solve 6 different problems that include the least squares of numbers. First, they plot 3 points on the axes shown and draw in their best approximating line. Then, students estimate the slope and...

Fourth graders collect data, graph their data, and then make predictions based upon their findings. They's interest is maintained by the interesting way the data is collected. The data collection experiment is from the psychology work of...

In this applied mathematics learning exercise, students solve 4 various sets of problems that include scalar equations, existence of solutions, and inverse problems. They determine the number of solutions of a problem shown and justify...

Learners construct a linear graph. In this graphing lesson, students determine a monthly budget for gasoline. Learners construct a t-chart and coordinate graph to display data. Resources are provided.

In this physics instructional activity, students model the position, velocity and acceleration using mathematical formulas and a computer program. Then they interpret the parameters in each of the models. Students also complete the...
