Pupils analyze the sliding of boxes along a warehouse floor. In this algebra lesson, students connect math and physics by calculating the friction created by the sliding of each box. They develop faster method to move the box, based on...

Students rewrite word problems using symbols. In this algebra lesson, students rewrite equations graphically, algebraically and verbally. They relate the concepts to the real world.

Students explore the concept of statistical data. In this statistical data lesson, students read an article about the dangers of peanut butter to those who are allergic. Students perform a taste test of two different brands of peanut...

Young scholars explore the concept of patterns. In this patterns lesson, students use applets to manipulate tessellations. Young scholars predict the next number in a sequence by recognizing patterns.

First graders explore the existence of patterns in everyday items. In this science and math integrated instructional activity, 1st graders match leaves with a name word card and organize them into four patterns. This instructional...

Students investigate properties of lines and points by making a rover. In this algebra lesson, students plot points correctly on a coordinate plane. They identify coordinate pairs given the plots and lines.

Help your class look for patterns as they create their own arithmetic and geometric sequences. Engage learners with an introductory discussion on sequences and use the applet to let them explore how sequences are formed. Teachers might...

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...

Ready to introduce your class to the coordinate plane? This website includes a detailed lesson plan that includes two interactive games to help learners practice graphing ordered pairs. The scripted discussion is a little cheesy and a...

Students calculate the slope of a line. In this slope instructional activity, students use a graph, an equation or two points to help them calculate the slope of a line. They differentiate between a slope of zero and an undefined slope.

Fourth graders are introduced to arithmetic and geometric sequences. In this mathematics lesson, 4th graders produce a variety of sequences by varying the starting number, multiplier, and the add-on number.

In this Algebra 2 worksheet, students solve systems of equations and inequalities then graph the solutions on a number line. There are 11 problems to solve.

Learners explore exponential growth and decay using M&M’s in this Algebra II/Pre-calculus lesson plan. They investigate the cost of a new car by calculating depreciation and payments.

Young scholars explore the differences between surface water and ground water. They collect data using maps and graphs and investigate a Texas river basin and a nearby aquifer. They complete a written report including maps and data...

Learners research the availability, usage and demand for water in the local area historically and use projections of the availability, usage and demand for water up to the year 2050. They gather data and present the information in...

High schoolers explore the concept of finding the composition of seawater.  In this finding the composition of seawater instructional activity, students make a saturated salt water solution.  High schoolers discuss why there is...

Students explore the concept of graphing data. In this graphing data instructional activity, students determine the percentage of sugar in bubble gum. Students graph type of gum vs. sugar percentage. Students create a table of their data.

Students calculate the probability of an event occurring. In this probability lesson, students differentiate between independent, dependent or compound events. They find the range of the data.

Young scholars investigate the concept of using quadratic data to plot coordinates on a plane. They also apply the quadratic formula for a variety of problems with the help of a graphing calculator to draw the parabola for given...

Students explore the Cartesian coordinate plane and plot points on the graph. They interpret coordinates for a point from the graph and give the ratio of rise over run for slope.

Students collect and graph data. In this statistics lesson, students analyze their plotted data using a scatter plot. They identify lines as having positive, negative or no correlation.

Students demonstrate rotary motion by practicing with gyrocopters. In this physics lesson plan students work in groups to construct a gyrocopter and explore how physics effect it torque and inertia.

Young scholars gather and analyze data from sports teams. In this measures of central tendency lesson, students gather information from websites about sports team performance. Young scholars analyze and draw conclusions from this data....

Students observe a pendulum and graph their observation. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI calcualtor to graph the motion the pendulum makes. They analyze the graph and make predictions.
