Learners use cross-multiplication to find the unknown respiration rate of an astronaut. In this multiplication lesson plan, students also use the same process to find missing values in proportions.

High schoolers investigate the concepts relating to the solving of parametric equations. They take the derivatives of parametric equations during guided and independent practice using the problems provided in the lesson plan. Students...

Students engage in a lesson that is concerned with defining and drawing the graph of a derivative. The lesson includes a definition and examples to lead them away from any misconceptions. They graph derivatives using examples that are...

Students review four types of parabolas. They discuss y=x^2-4x. Students practice working this problem by completing the square. They identify the vertex, focus and directrix of the parabolic formula. Students work several problems...

Students analyze formulas for ellipses. They solve by completing the square. Students find the center of the ellipses. They listen as the teacher describes the eccentricity of an ellipse. Students work several problems independently.

Students review polar coordinates, as well as translations and rotations in Cartesian Coordinates. They also watch a video on conics and write a summary of the video for a quiz grade. Students then find an equation after a...

Young scholars work with their pen pals to plan a service learning project. They locate local organizations who collect canned goods. They use a graph to show the progress of the donations.

High schoolers investigate the geometry concept of spatial relationships. They draw a replica of a cube. Students list the planes on the cube and go into further depth with identifying the parallel line in segments of the cube. The...

Learners examine the types of foods they eat. They describe the different components and resources that go into making their favorite foods. They also compare the resources going into different foods and identify ones which are more...

Students share the ways they use technology at school and at home. In groups, they discuss how their study of math, science and technology is helping to prepare them for future jobs. They share their findings with the class and develop...

Students enter a race against time to determine the maximum sized box that can be formed from a standard sheet of copy paper. The boxes are to be used to contain a valuable and rare element which is light as cotton and corrosive to all...

Students research the "Design for the Other 90%" exhibition and create a presentation about the low cost designs. In this design instructional activity, students read and watch a video about the project. Students survey people about...

Young scholars study mean, median, and mode. They construct paper airplanes and test them to see how far they fly. They measure the distance and then find the averages of their throws. They use spreadsheet software to record the data...

Students discover the process of finding the mean, median, and mode. Through guided practice and problem solving activities, they use a computer program to input data and create a graph. Graph data is used to calculate the mean,...

Eighth graders collect and analyze data about foul shots taken at basketball games.

Eighth graders discover how the change in the dimensions of a shape cause a change in the overall area of the shape, but the perimeter stay the same. They, in groups, go out to the playground and construct large areas using stakes and rope.

High schoolers examine the concept of scatter plots. They compare baseball statistics to locate the ones that correlate with winning, and identify the positive, negative, and no correlation in sets of data using MS Excel.

Students make informed choices among technology systems, resources, and services. They select and apply technology tools for research, information analysis, problem solving, and decision making in content learning.
