Learners analyze graphs, charts and tables. In this data analysis lesson plan, students practice creating and analyzing charts, graphs and tables corresponding to sales and surveys. This lesson plan uses data relevant to learners and...

Students differentiate between a feral cat and a domesticated cat. In this cat lesson plan, students use the scientific method, calculate averages, solve story problems, and learn how a caretaker can help a feral colony live safely.

High schoolers differentiate between similarity and congruence using polygons. In this geometry lesson, students label triangles based on their properties. They find missing sides and angles using the interior sum theorem.

Students plan a trip to from 3 to 5 cities of their choice. They design a brochure to travel to the chosen cities. It should be of a quality that it could be used by a customer to decide if they would like to take this trip.

Students determine rotation rates of a variety of solar system objects using images and the Internet.

Second graders read books about ice cream and plan an ice cream sundae party for the class. They research ingredients and determine how much the party cost each student. They hold a mock opening for an ice cream store and have their party.

Fourth graders, in groups, examine how temperature is a measure of the average translational kinetic energy.

Learners recall basic multiplication facts by writing answers on a wheel form, competing against other teams to finish the wheels. They review multiplication facts on a Spinning Wheels Web Lesson.

High schoolers review types of polygons and list several examples of each. They assume the role of a landscape artist interviewing for a job. They create sketches of their plans for six polygonal gardens and write an expository paragraph...

Tenth graders estimate the size of an adult cheetah by research and measurement of a picture. They determine the approximate distance and speed of the cheetah from a filmed chase and compare that to their own running speed.

Tenth graders apply their knowledge of angles related to a circle, radii, secants, tangents and chords of a circle. They practice using formulas related to a circle. They also apply what has been practiced to real life situations.

Fourth graders examine the amount of sugar contained in Halloween candy by looking at nutritional labels from candy bars. They figure out ways to encourage people to reduce the amount of sugar they eat at this holiday. They look at the...

Fifth graders create a net for a given polyhedron. They determine the corresponding polyhedron for a given net. Students investigate several polyhedra (cube, tetrahedron, and one of their choosing) and their corresponding nets. They...

Students examine the local and national election process. In groups, they brainstorm a list of the issues important to them and compare them to an overall list of issues present in the election. They analyze graphs and complete...

Learners learn about sorting and classifying objects by size while reading Eric Carle's "The Grouchy Ladybug". In this sorting and classifying instructional activity, students first listen to and interact with the story. They then look...

In this statistics worksheet, students create a scatter plot based on their analysis of data provided form the space shuttle Challenger disaster.  The five page worksheet contains four questions.  Answers are not provided. 

For this data analysis worksheet, students solve and complete 4 different types of problems. First, they reduce the data provided to find the means, and graph the means in a line graph. Then, students graph the data from each mixture...

Students investigate modular arithmetic and how to use it to solve real world problems. In this modular arithmetic activity, students use computers to work on modular arithmetic after a teacher guided activity. They complete guided...

Students choose the correct strategy to solve multiplication and division. In this algorithm lesson, students use at least two strategies that use properties of operations and estimation. Students also recognize the relationship between...

Students explore the concept of probability.  In this probability instructional activity, students use area to determine probability.  Students use charts and spinners to help determine the probability of events such as...

Students study the difference between weather and climate.  In this climate systems lesson students search the Internet for the parts of the Earth's system, gather climate data and complete a challenge scenario. 

Students measure the heights of their fellow classmates and create a box and whisker plot to display the data. In this measurement lesson plan, students analyze the data and record results.

Students investigate the usage of parallel and perpendicular shapes in the real world. In this geometry lesson, students investigate shapes for properties that are related to the real world. They relate all the properties of shape tot he...

Students observe a pendulum and graph their observation. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI calcualtor to graph the motion the pendulum makes. They analyze the graph and make predictions.
