Students investigate the concentration level of solutions. In this math/science lesson, students identify three different ionic compounds. They predict the conductivity of each using their collected data.

Students watch the film, "In Search of the Amber Room." In teams, they examine World War II and research to find the Amber Room. They present their case in written form, or as a Web site, or using video "clips" from the film

Seventh graders follow a step-by-step guide for using graphing calculator to determine equations which best fit data graphed. They gather data from various sites on the web, or they do searches to find information necessary to complete...

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...

Ninth graders solve multi-step equations.  In this Algebra I lesson, watch a video on solving equations with variables on both sides of the equal sign.  Students visit an Internet site to solve simple equations through the use...

Students create a table of values to graph a line. In this algebra lesson, students identify the slope and intercept of a linear equation. They use a Ticalculator to graph their function.

Students explore the concepts of rotational equilibrium. They examine the history Alexander Calder and his mobiles. Students solve simple algebraic equations. They predict, draw conclusions, graph equations and examine the rotational...

Students create a spreadsheet that calculate the amount of concrete needed to pour various concrete forms.

Fifth graders create a HyperStudio book report after reading a novel. They work in pairs or small groups to design a HyperStudio stack about a previously-read novel. They use a variety of graphic organizers to have Students gather...

Students investigate the concept of inequalities and practice graphing them at various degrees of difficulty. They review the basic rules with the teacher at the level of theory which may make it harder for them to understand without...

Students meet NASA researchers who describe the relationship between force, energy and motion. They discuss how NASA's experimental X-plane is being tested to make space travel more reliable and show how proportionality and ratios are...

Learners identify the parts of a flowchart. In this sequencing lesson plan, students define and then create their own flowcharts. 

Students construct spreadsheets from raw data. In this spreadsheet construction lesson, students compile data into Microsoft Excel. Students familiarize themselves with entering and presenting data in a spreadsheet.

Students use the image processing software, NIH Imageto view images of Earth taken from the space shuttle. They use NIH Image to determine the length of the visible portion of the fault, where it has ruptured the Earth's surface.

Learners research career information and write out index cards. They are introduced to software Inspiration to develop their oral presentation skills.

First graders use literature and hands-on activities with maps and globes to explain distance and tools used to measure distance. They select tools to measure various objects in the classroom, then apply those concepts to their map...

Students learn the difference between perimeter and area by watching a video and a hands on activity.

Students practice identifying the letters in the alphabet. They use this activity in phyical education class and run to each letter when they identify it correctly. They also state the name of different objects throughout the room.

Students explore circular functions. They identify the amplitude, period, phase shift and vertical shift of circular functions. Students analyze phenomena described by sine waves and they find mathematical models for transforming images...

Pupils investigate the measurements and geometry of the school grounds. They conduct inquiry while measuring the campus and some of the city blocks. Then students draw a map to scale and categorize property types using a pie graph.

A lesson plan offering real world problems of linear programming. The lesson offers several pages of real world scenarios. Answers to the problems are provided.

Linear programming is a part of a very important area of mathematics called "optimization techniques". This field of study (or at least the applied results of it) are used every day in the organization and allocation of resources. Linear...

This module presents a linear programming problem. An example of the revenue-maximizing product mix for a pizza parlor is developed. This is an example of a more general mathematical optimization (maximization or minimization) problem....

Twelve problems present practice working with linear programming. They are given with each step to the solution cleverly revealed one at a time. You can work each step of the problem then click the "View Solution" button to check each...
