Seventh graders investigate the concept of functions and how they are used in the context of the real world while identifying the dependent and independent variables. They graph relations and functions and find the zeros of functions....

Eighth graders graph two inequalities with a single variable. They include drawing the intersection or union of inequalities on a number line. Students solve the linear equations using properties of equality and inequality. The...

Young scholars compare the costs of two cellular phone plans and determine the best rate. They use a table and a graph of points plotted on a Cartesian plane to display their findings. Students write an equation containing variables that...

students emulate a real world problem and model it with mathematics working in a small group. Observe and facilitate discussion as the groups use various strategies, such as (graphs, brainstorming, tables, and dialogue.

Students revise their Algebra plays. They collaborate in small groups to work on different aspects of the play and report to the class. They make modifications to their plans and review the Musical Rubric to incorporate the concepts...

In this physics worksheet, 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 experiment and...

This lesson introduces the idea of slope and defines it as a numerical measurement of the steepness of a line. Pupils then use the definition to compare lines, find positive and negative slopes, and notice their definition holds for...

An interesting instructional activity on hypothesizing about the diameter of a drop of blood that is splattered. To test their theories, learners work in groups to make blood droplets splatter from different heights. They use graphed...

Scholars explore systems design and its relation to meal picking by using computer simulations to test systems designs. They learn about the Pick-to-Light System and calculate average picking times.

Test your scholars' knowledge of a multitude of concepts with an assessment aligned to the California math standards. Using the exam, class members show what they know about the four operations, positive and negative numbers, statistics...

What is a chemist's favorite plant? Stoichiome Tree! Scholars produce hydrogen gas by reacting magnesium with hydrochloric acid. Then they calculate the molar volume of the gas produced before answering assessment questions. 

Students review the standards for Algebra I. Using the text, they discover two problems that match each standard and solve them showing all steps on paper. They create a PowerPoint slide for each problem and go through the correct...

Students describe graphically, algebraically and verbally real-world phenomena as functions; identify the independent and the dependent variable. They translate among graphic, algebraic, and verbal representations of relations and graph...

Students write the equation of a line given the slope and y-intercept. In this algebra lesson plan, students are given a point a the line and the slope of the line and are asked to write an equation of the line. They relate lines to real...

Learners find a variety of topics and subjects in this lesson plan. In the math section of this lesson plan, students graph linear equations and analyze their data. They solve one and two step equations to find the variable.

Start this activity with a brief description of how to solve absolute value inequalities. A space is provided to help classify the inequalities into types (greater than, less than, or equal to) and for learners to show how to graph their...

Discover an inverse variation pattern. A simple lesson plan design allows learners to explore a nonlinear pattern. Scholars analyze a distance, speed, and time relationship through tables and graphs. Eventually, they write an equation to...

It is positive that how one performs on the first test relates to their performance on the second test. The three-question assessment has class members read and analyze a scatter plot of test scores. They must determine whether...

Ready to share the beauty of the inverse function with your classes? This algebra II lesson guides the discovery of an inverse function through a numerical, graphical, and an algebraic approach. Connections are made between the three,...

Rewrite a quadratic function to easily see the transformations involved. The instructional task takes a general quadratic function and rewrites it into a form that shows the translations and scaling of the parent quadratic function. The...

Eighth graders experiment with a bathroom scale, books and a plank to determine how weight readings change as distance is applied. They graph and interpret the results.

Students explore the concept of adding and subtracting using positive and negative numbers. In this addition and subtraction of signed numbers lesson, students use pennies to represent positive and negative numbers. Students deposit and...

In this algebra learning exercise, students figure out the equation of the general vector, they find the orthogonal basis and apply the formula to solve the problems.

This basic handout would be good for skills practice or a review of parallel and perpendicular lines. Review the definitions, then practice writing equations of lines that pass through a specific point and are either parallel or...
