Learners graph a quadratic inequality and describe its solution set. They solve a system of quadratic equalities graphically and symbolically and as related to a real-world context.

Students examine the local and national election process. In groups, they brainstorm a list of the issues important to them and compare them to an overall list of issues present in the election. They analyze graphs and complete...

Students investigate different geometric patterns. For this geometry lesson, students create different shapes using toothpicks. They create different patterns and designs and complete a charts using different measurements.

Students use Geometers SketchPad to find the area and perimeter of several shapes. In this geometry lesson, students determine area of rectangles and progress through irregular polygons. None of the referenced worksheets are included...

Sixth graders work through a two-step equation with their teacher. After reviewing one-step equations, they complete a worksheet using tiles and colored pencils to complete two-step equations. To end the lesson, they write out the step...

Fourth graders investigate repeating and growing patterns. Models, graphs and words are used to describe, extend and represent patterns. Students use evidence from models and graphs to support the identification of patterns.

Eighth graders extend skills for representing and solving linear equations to linear inequalities. Lesson activities build understanding and skill by plotting ordered pairs of numbers that either satisfy or do not satisfy a given...

Pupils write the distance formula to solve equations for finding the distance between 2 points. In this distance formula lesson plan, students also write sentences explaining why their formulas would work.

Students use shapes and manipulatives to demonstrate patterns. In this patterns lesson plan, students also break up patterns to identify a pattern unit.

Students solve systems of 2-by-2 linear equations using tables, graphs and substitution. In small groups, classmates work together to discover strategies for solving equations. They use a calculator to graphically represent their answers.

Students solve systems of linear equations using substitution. They investigate the steps to solving linear equations by substitution and practice problems in small groups.

Learners explore the concept of functions. For this function lesson, students determine if the graph is a function by using the vertical line test. Learners use an applet to explore the vertical line test on a variety of graphs.

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...

Students explain the differences between linear (arithmetic) and exponential (geometric) growth. They use worksheets imbedded in this lesson to help them make predicitions and graph data points.

Sixth graders construct a rule about the number of sides found in a pattern of hexagons. In this mathematical problem solving instructional activity, 6th graders observe different hexagon patterns and create a rule about the relationship...

Seventh graders explore linear equations.  In this graphing instructional activity, 7th graders explore constant rates of change.  Students discover the real-life application of graphs and demonstrate their ability to read...

Students explore concept of functions as relationships, as machines, as equations, and as graphs.

Students explore arithmetic and numerical patterns. After observing a teacher created function box, students describe a pattern and predict what will "come out" of the function box. They explore patterns such as geometric shapes,...

Learners participate in activities the connect measurement to geometry, statistics, estimation, and the real world. They collect measurements from their elbow to the tip of their middle finger and make a box plot of the data as well as...

Students describe relations and graph linear functions. After studying a geometric shape and a verbal statement, students contrast the differences between the verbal statement and the picture. They determine functions and graph...

Eighth graders complete problems where they use the definition of exponents to expand the squaring function of natural numbers. In this squaring natural numbers lesson plan, 8th graders also identify squares form 0 - 12 and complete a...

Third graders review the commutative and associative property in mathematics. Using a worksheet, they work together to identify the patterns between the 32 triangles. To end the lesson, they create their own array and exchange it with...

Students analyze velocity and how it is determined. They experiment with velocity in order to measure and calculate the magnitude of speed. They use examples in their novel "Skateboard Renegade" to relate velocity to real life situations.

Students use a NASA website to use a given formula to find acceleration and distance after a specific time and how it relates to engine propulsion.
