Students develop an equation for finding the volume of a commonly known piece of candy (M&M, Hershey's Kiss, Tootsie Roll Pop, Life Saver, etc.) by using calculus.

Pupils concentrate on discrete quantiative data. They are shown that the vertical line diagram as a more appropriate way to present discrete quantiative data then bar charts. Students work as a group to help with the interpretation of...

Students find the slope of a line given a linear equation in slope-intercept form. They also find the slope of a line given a linear equation in standard form. Students finally graph the line to show it visually.

In this algebra worksheet, 10th graders apply inductive reasoning as they figure out the next number in the sequence or pattern. There are 53 problems.

Students measure and convert between units. In this geometry lesson, students investigate through measurements of distances. They relate the properties of circle to solving problems with radius, diameter and area.

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

Students play a memory game as they explore reasoning. In this algebra instructional activity, students identify concepts using pictures and words. They model real life scenarios using hands on manipulatives.

Students classify items and numbers by using a Venn diagram. In this Venn diagram lesson plan, students use the computer to do this and classify pictures and numbers.

High schoolers explore the concept of statistical data. In this statistical data lesson plan, students read an article about the dangers of peanut butter to those who are allergic. High schoolers perform a taste test of two different...

Students create models to represent both linear and quadratic equations.  In this algebra lesson, students collect data from the real world and analyze it. They graph and differentiate between the two types.

Pupils use pattern blocks to create a figure that is described to them and establish a pattern based on the description of the geometric figure. In this pattern blocks lesson plan, students fill out shape and fraction worksheets.

Learners write equations for word problems. In this algebra lesson, students represent the cost of a car rental plan using equations. They use systems of equations to find the best deal when renting a car.

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

Fifth graders examine line, bar and circle graphs in the newspaper and on the Internet. They complete sketches of graphs with an emphasis on selecting the best model to depict the data collected.

Students sort objects based on one characteristic. They define the term "attribute" and give examples of attributes of objects. Students explain their reasoning for sorting objects into groups.

Students calculate the mileage, gasoline costs, and travel time and costs for a vacation. They conduct a virtual field trip, and create a comparison graph of costs using Microsoft Excel software.

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.

Fifth graders construct data graphs based upon sets of data. In this graphing instructional activity, 5th graders read the text If the World Were a Village and discuss how types of graphs accurately represent a large population. Students...

In this Pre-calculus/Trigonometry activity, students determine the trigonometric function that best models the given data. The eight page activity contains explanation, examples, and twenty-one problems. Answers are not included.

Students practice estimating and graphing by utilizing Skittles.  In this statistics lesson plan, students complete worksheets based on the likelihood of a certain color of skittle coming out of the bag.  Students create a...

Fifth graders investigate geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, 5th graders classify and group shapes and patterns by likeness. They investigate patterns based on clues from their peers.

Students investigate wind and weather by creating a weathervane.  In this environment lesson, students identify the purpose of a weathervane and observe weathervanes in action on their campus.  Students create a weathervane and...
