Students discover for which kind of linear function is appropriate to use the "scatter" or the "connected" term. In this lesson, students investigate functions using variables, patterns book, graph paper, rulers and the graphit program.

Students explore the concept of linear and exponential growth. In this linear and exponential growth instructional activity, students collect data about China's population. Students model the data to determine if it is linear or...

Students study how a type of product is advertised. In this product advertisement instructional activity, students research a specific product and its advertisement. Students create a market research survey based on their peers...

Learners role-play the jobs of space shuttle astronauts, conduct experiments, and research space using the Internet and offline experiments. Student-astronauts hold a "press conference" to share their information with others in a...

Sixth graders determine appropriate scales when graphing data. In this graphing lesson, 6th graders use an the applet "Graph It" to determine what is an appropriate scale for their data.

Eighth graders complete seven work stations that highlight math activities while they focus on the rules for Internet use and classroom rules for working in cooperative groups. After completing the activities, they complete a self-...

Students identify interior and exterior angles of polygons. In this geometry lesson plan, students add interior and exterior angles of polygons. They use angle theorems to solve the problems.

Twelfth graders use the Internet to research information on NFL players and construct frequency distributions from the data. They calculate the mean, medium and analyze their data.

Students roll dice to come up with 1 digit numbers that they multiply together. In this multiplication lesson plan, students arrange piles of blocks and count them to complete problems.

Students study the role of banks, lending and their services. For this analysis lesson, students learn about savings, checking accounts and lending and the importance of banks as financial intermediaries.

In this ratio and proportion activity, students explore example problems. Afterwards, they read story problems and use ratios and proportions to find the solution. This three-page activity contains six multi-step problems,

Students examine credit components and how each works within our economy today. In this financial literacy lesson, students explore credit terms and make decisions based on real credit card offers that they find in their on line research.

Students identify missing sides and angles. In this geometry instructional activity, students use triangular theorems to identify the missing sides. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the different ratios of each side.

Students explore physics by creating data graphs in class. In this flight properties lesson plan, students read the book Flying Machine and identify the force, resistance and construction necessary to keep a glider in the air. Students...

Young scholars explore linear equations, parallel lines, perpendicular lines and slopes. Using computers with graphic calculators and word processing, students examine the relationship between the slopes of perpendicular lines and...

Identify the slope of a linear equation in this algebra lesson plan. Middle schoolers graph linear equations using slopes and intercepts. They identify the slope as being positive, negative, no slope, or undefined.

Students study technology and the different reproductive technologies available today.  For this human reproductive technology lesson students describe how engineers create technologies to improve the health of mothers and...

Sixth graders collect weather data to compare temperatures around the world. Using the Internet, learners collect data, put it into spreadsheets, and analyze and graph the results. An interesting way to cover the topic of weather.

Explore properties of integers! In this algebra lesson, pupils add, subtract, divide and multiply using integers correctly. They differentiate between rational and irrational numbers.

Students complete experiments to determine how rocket fuel is affected by surface area and temperature. They compare the reaction rates of antacid tablets. They discuss their results to complete the lesson.

The Diary of a Wimpy Antenna? In the last installment of a six-part series, your class constructs a model of a radio antenna and tests its torque. Pupils use the results to design a better model that resists bending and twisting forces.

Young scholars classify objects according to their similar characteristics.

Young scholars investigate a numerical pattern and look for evidence of mathematical patterns in nature. They solve puzzles and work with a partner to predict sequential numbers in a series.

Do some good for the community while learning about engineering. Groups complete a service-based engineering design project over the course of five weeks. The resource provides guidance on how to conduct the project and help pupils get...
