Students compare and contrast objects and are introduced to a Venn Diagram. In this alike and different lesson, students make observations regarding properties of objects. Students classify object and build ideas about variables....

Students use data from the Rossi X-ray Tiiming Explorer (RXTE) satellite to analyze and graph.

High schoolers 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.

Students explore the relationships among the lengths, areas, and volumes of similar solids. They also discover what effect doubling the dimensions of a figure has on the resulting area.

Young scholars explore properties of triangles using angle bisectors, incenters, circles, midpoints, and altitudes. They use Geometer's Sketchpad in order to create triangles and their properties.

Transformations of linear functions, with links between the symbolic and graphic forms, can be powerful tools to help students overcome conceptual hurdles in algebra.

This activity provides an opportunity for students to examine transformations of linear equations. Linked activity requires Java Plug-in.

This program was designed as a quick graphing program that students could use on a computer, tablet or smart phone when a more complex graphing program is not available. This program will let students plot up to 10 data points and then...

This activity uses the Transformation Graphing Application to explore the linear equation after entering data into lists and doing a statistical plot of the data.

It is very common to take data and apply the same transformation to every data point in the set. For example, we may take a set of temperatures taken in degrees fahrenheit and convert them all to degrees celsius. How would this...
