Sixth graders interpret linear and nonlinear graphs. They create graphs based on a problem set. Next, they represent quantitive relationships on a graph and write a story related to graphing.

Allow your classes to research what interests them. An engaging STEM lesson, the fourth in the series of six, asks individuals to choose a topic of interest and analyze the data through regression models. The regression equations allow...

Avoiding lab safety rules will not give you super powers. The lesson plan opens with a demonstration of not following safety rules. Then, young chemists practice their lab safety while finding the mass of each item in a mixture and...

In this nullspace worksheet, students find the nullspace of matrices, write a rectangular matrix upper-triangular form, and convert augmented matrix to echelon form. This six-page worksheet contains approximately 8 problems.

Students practice graphing a linear equation and a parabolic equation. They work cooperatively to select numbers, including fractions, which they will put into ordered pairs. Students explain their process to the class, discussing what...

Students explore the relationship between the amount of weight that can be supported by a spaghetti bridge, the thickness of the bridge, and the length of the bridge to determine the algebraic equation that best represents that pattern...

Pupils solve systems of linear equations using substitution. They investigate the steps to solving linear equations by substitution and practice problems in small groups.

Students participate in a lesson that reviews the concept of linear functions in connection with preparation for an exam. The teacher reviews problems with the students for scaffolding. Students practice graphing linear functions.

Fourth graders find the range, mode, median, and mean for each of the data sets (height and shoe size). They discuss which measure of central tendency for each data set best represents the class and why. Students graph the shoe size and...

Students write equations for problems. In this number instructional activity, students add, subtract, multiply and divide numbers to solve for a variable. They rewrite word problems using algebraic symbols.

Enhance pupil understanding of proportions and variable relationships by studying direct and inverse variation. Use the idea of a proportional relationship to teach direct variation. Then use a similar pattern to help individuals...

Lift—it is about the wing's attack. Using a virtual wind tunnel, pupils investigate wing shape and angle of attack. Learners use worksheets to record their observations and to convert verbal relationships into mathematical equations in...

Students solve equations with variables on both sides. For this algebra lesson, students solve equations using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. They graph their solution on a coordinate plane.

In this discrete least squares learning exercise, students use a linear algebra approach to discrete last squares approximation. This two-page learning exercise contains approximately 10 problems.

Eighth graders extend skills for representing and solving linear equations to linear inequalities. Lesson activities build understanding and skill by plotting ordered pairs of numbers that either satisfy or do not satisfy a given...

Young scholars work as a team to complete a variety of algebraic equations. Variables are assigned to students who are to substitute values to help their team solve the equation.

Students analyze graphs to determine relationships between variables and rates of change. They determine the basic concepts about static reaction forces. They determine the slope and equation of a line.

Learners collect data and create a graph. In this algebra instructional activity, students describe functions graphically, algebraically and verbally. They identify functions as being independent and dependent using variables.

In this physics review worksheet, students complete 24 matching and problem solving questions pertaining to math code, speed, experiments and variables, slope, and acceleration and average speed.

Mississippi has both the highest obesity and poverty rate in the US. Does the rest of the data show a correlation between the poverty and obesity rate in a state? Learners tackle this question as they practice their skills of regression....

When is the last time you assigned your learners only one problem? This seemly simple problem requires learners think like a mathematician and reason about how to solve this compound inequality in one variable. More than just using...

This unit assessment covers the modeling process with linear, quadratic, exponential, and absolute value functions. The modeling is represented as verbal descriptions, tables, graphs, and algebraic expressions. 

Undo a function to create a new one. The inverse of a function does just that. An inquiry-based lesson examines the result of reversing the variables of a function, beginning with linear patterns and advancing to quadratic and...

You are what you eat, or so they say! After surveying family and friends on a week of eating habits, learners analyze the data for patterns. They compare different variables such as fats and cost, fats and calories, or fats and LDLs.
