Students analyze the sliding of boxes along a warehouse floor. In this algebra activity, students connect math and physics by calculating the friction created by the sliding of each box. They develop faster method to move the box, based...

In this algebra activity, students solve problems involving functions, systems and conics. They simplify radicals and graph parabolas identifying the focus and ellipse. There are 20 questions.

Learners calculate how many quarters are in a $1,000 bag (after learning the dollar value of filled coin bags). They explain their problem-solving strategy using pictures, numbers, equations, and/or words.

Students analyze the relationship between speed, time and distance. In this math activity, students plan a school trip. Students determine the efficiency and cost effectiveness of a trip.

In this unit, 3rd graders investigate one variable to see if they can make a paper plane fly farther. They use scatter plots to establish a possible relationship between variables then use what they have found to make a paper plane to...

Learners calculate the speed, motion and distance of a projectile. In this geometry lesson, students obtain measurements while calculating velocity. They graph their results and make predictions.

Students explore the concept of algebra in real world situations. In this economics instructional activity, students design, plan, run, and evaluate a small business. Students will create a product, market the product, and try to make a...

Students collect data on the time of the ferry. In this algebra lesson, students use the data to predict a ferry schedule. They also compute the depth where oxygen would be needed when diving.

Students solve quadratic equations using graphs. In this algebra lesson, students factor quadratic equations and graph their answer. They discuss the shape of their graph based on the function.

Students perform an experiment with different sizes of followers (from an easy to follow set of teacher directions) and record their observations. They test the rotations of the driver compared to the rotations of a follower and put the...

Students are told what a coordinate system is and also that it provides a way of uniquely describing each point on a plane or in space. They are given a practice problem along with the equation. Students solve the following problem:...

In this introduction to algebraic thinking, students perform given calculations. They draw a sequence of pictures to explain the equation. This five page worksheet contains six multi-step problems.

Students build parallel circuits, exploring how they function and looking at their unique features. They describe how current changes when batteries are added in parallel or removed from a parallel arrangement, demonstrate the process of...

Students are introduced to lines, rays, line segments and planes. They explore the differences between lines, rays, line segments and planes. Students pracice graphing lines, rays, line segments and planes.

Students use properties of exponents to solve equations. For this algebra lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide exponential functions. They graph and differentiate between exponential growth and decay.

First graders problem solve using the concepts of doubling and halving numbers as previews for finding multiples and working with fractions. They determine how to find half of a set of objects and work with sums up to 16. They work with...
