Students explore the concept of cost of living. For this cost of living lesson, students calculate the cost of living in an apartment along with other living expenses.

Students analyze and interpret graphs. In this graphing instructional activity, students view a video and construct their own graphs (line, circle, bar) from given sets of data. 

High schoolers use a migration map to estimate the distance traveled by a bird while migrating south. After calculating accurate estimates of the distance traveled, students compare the distances traveled with the amount of time elapsed.

Learners demonstrate visually Mankind's relative place on the earth's timeline. They familiarize themselves with the use of the metric system in measuring and producting a timeline.

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 identify different types of special right triangles. In this geometry lesson plan, students differentiate between right triangles and isosceles triangles. they construct the triangles using geometry software and make conjectures...

Pupils solve problems using fractals. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of fractals. They find patterns in their surroundings and relate it to the real world and math.

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...

Seventh graders discuss the associative property of math. They are to find examples of the property and others. They also write in their journals about what they learned.

Young scholars read the novel, The Time Machine, and compare H.G. Well's perceptions of the future with those presented in The Third Wave, by Alvin Toffler. They research current scientific and mathematical theories that relate to space...

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-...

Third graders are introduced to how to divide by 3 and 4. They are told that are going to use the same procedures as they did on yesterday, except with new divisors. Students turn their attention to the Paddle Problem on page 206 of...

Learners observe and draw small objects on the playground or in the classroom with and without a magnifying glass. They explore how lenses can affect the way that an object is observed from afar or remotely sensed. Afterwards, they share...
