Learners derive the six trigonometric identities. In this trigonometry lesson, students find the ratios of sine, cosine and tangent using the right triangle. They use properties of the Pythagorean Theorem to find the trig identities.

Students use m&m candies as their sample set. They begin by counting the total number of candies to determine their sample size. Students put the candies into a cup and shake them gently before pouring them onto a paper plate. Count...

Students identify the central tendencies. In this statistics instructional activity, students find the mean, median and mode of their collected data. They explain the effect of outliers on the data.

Students collect, graph and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, students measure the heart beat of a person as they listen to music. They use the CBL and TI to create a graph, analyzing the outcome.

Students investigate different correlations. In this algebra lesson, students analyze graphs and identify the lines as having positive, negative or no correlation. They calculate the line of best fit using a scatter plot.

Students collect and analyze data with a graph. In this statistics lesson, students use central tendencies to find the meaning of their data. They display the data on a Ti calculator.

Second graders investigate the skill of graphing data by using candy bars to create context for the instructional activity. They use technology for graphing and organizing information like a spreadsheet. The instructional activity...

Sixth graders calculate the mean, median, and mode of candy M&Ms and find the percentage of each color. Once they complete the assignment, they compare their results with those of the candy company's percentages. As an extension,...

Students examine a science journal to develop an understanding of graphs in science.  In this data analysis lesson, students read an article from the Natural Inquirer and discuss the meaning of the included graph.  Students...

Third graders use whole numbers and fractions to make connections between abstractions of the mathematical world and the real world. In this fractions and measurement lesson, 3rd graders identify, quantify groups , and measure distances....

Learners learn how to measure the diameter and circumference of a circle. In this circle lesson, students organize their data to create a graph. Learners utilize their graph to make an inference about the slope of pi.

Young scholars create number lines using decimals and whole numbers. In this algebra lesson, students graph and solve linear equations. They plot ordered pairs on a coordinate plane correctly.

Students calculate the shortest distance of various scenarios. In this algebra lesson plan, students interpret graphs of optimization problems. They use a graphing calculator to assist them in graphing and making predictions.

Students write the slope of a linear equation. In this algebra lesson plan, students follow a robot along a coordinate plane and create an equation to represent the ramp created. They identify the points the ramp passes through.

Students calculate mean, median, range, mode and probability. Then, working in teams, they use data from their workplace to compute values for these terms. Finally the class explores the term "probability" using a die.

Second graders view a model of a survey and tally.   In this survey and tally lesson, 2nd graders decide on questions for a survey.  Students conduct the survey and tally their results. Students create a tally chart....
