Pupils analyze graphs for specific properties. In this algebra lesson plan, students solve equations and graph using the TI calculator. They find the different changes that occur in each graph,including maximum and minimum.

Students collect real data on sound. In this algebra activity, students use a CBL and graphing calculator to observe the graph created by sound waves. They draw conclusion about the frequency of sound from the graph.

Students recognize patterns and sequences in numbers. In this geometry lesson plan, students create rules to define the sequences and patterns they obsere. They translate coded messages as they dicuss navigational terms.

In this middle school mathematics/Algebra I worksheet, students use logic to solve a puzzle in which they recover the outlines of the dominos which have been removed. Answers are provided.

Young scholars are given data and are to calculate averages and yearly totals of how many cars travel the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. They also make a graph of the data.

Students order numbers and sets of objects from 0 through 10 and organize and interpret information collected from the immediate environment. They read and interpret graphs usin real objects and the computer. Finally, students sort a...

Here is a lesson that takes an interesting approach to analyzing data using box and whisker plots.  By using an applet that dynamically generates Venn diagrams, the class forms a strategy/algorithm for guessing the rule that fits...

Students create an abstract work of art that is made by repeating geometric shapes and lines, write concise instructions to reproduce the work of art and reproduce someone else's artwork via written instructions.

Your learners will write quadratic functions whose graphs include specific points and explore how these graphs are related to each other.

Sixth graders set up a pendulum experiment deciding which variable to manipulate (length of string or weight on the string). They create a hypothesis, collect necessary equipment, and write out each step of their experiment. They then...

Students utilize prior knowledge to erect and assemble a building from a drawing using spaghetti noodles and marshmallows. For this building lesson, students visualize a three dimensional structure from looking at a picture and...

Students make an earthquake simulator and test their structure to see if it lasts through the earthquake. In this earthquake lesson plan, students make a structure and test and record the results from an earthquake simulator made out of...

Junior geometers discover that polygons can be decomposed into triangles and that the number of triangles can be determined by a rule. Note that the Geometer’s Sketchpad® software is required to carry out all components of this...

Students calculate the radius of the earth. They use the method and data suggested by Eratosthenes. They investigate the interrelationships among mass, distance, force, and time through experimental processes.

Pupils investigate the concept of solving problems when given it in words and employing a wide variety of methods. They practice applying a logical sequence to find the solution to a problem while estimating possible answers to help in...

Young scholars use a variety of strategies to figure out the cost of baseball tickets. They use a combination chart, notebook notation, etc. to find the cost of their family to attend a Cardinal's game in St. Louis.

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 lesson...

Students discover the formulas for calculating distance. In groups, they solve equations determine the distance in a specific amount of time. They record their answers in a chart or graph and compare them with their classmates.

In this math worksheet, students practice solving the problems to introduce the concept of multiplication with countable visuals. The sheet is a teacher's guide
