Learners investigate the intervals represented by a function in this calculus lesson. They decide what interval of the function will be positive, negative or zero. They are then given graphs of functions and asked to analyze it.

Students solve equations by writing expressions. For this algebra lesson, students identify the different values for each variable. They use the navigator to see how to solve equations.

Students solve problems using distribution. In this algebra lesson plan, students factor equations using the distributive property. They graph their solution on a graph.

Students observe and calculate slopes. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph equations and determine the pace at which the slope is changing. They use the navigator to see the change as they graph the lines around.

Learn how to identify the diameter and circumference of a circle. Then, collect data on a circle and relate it to the diameter and circumference of a circle. Last, plot data and find the line of best fit.

Scholars identify the domain of a rational function in this precalculus instructional activity. They identify the removable discontinuity and label what will make the denominator zero. Learners also describe properties of the graph as it...

First graders chop vegetables into fractions. In this fractions lesson, 1st graders cut vegetables, collect data about favorite vegetables and create a bar graph using the information. Students make inferences about the data and...

Students determine the density of different substances. In this physical science instructional activity, students rank them according to their density. They discover the relationship between volume and density.

Students investigate geometric shapes through volume and dimensions. For this geometry lesson, students measure, weigh, and calculate sizes and volume based on estimation and calculation. They review important vocabulary related to...

Young scholars, in groups, examine plants with different light levels. They are given plants from a tropical and desert region. They write a hypothesis at the beginning of the experiment.

Learners graph system of linear inequalities in this instructional activity. Your class will use the Inequality Graphing App to enter linear programming functions into the calculator that can be stored for later use. They then determine...

Students measure and analyze leaves from various environments. They discuss the environments, and make inferences about environmental variables that could have contributed to the differences in leaf size and texture.

Students examine the adaptation of plants to their environments. They analyze and observe the structure, shape, and internal structure of various leaves, and make inferences about the structures.

Eighth graders research highway designs and create a marble maze to illustrate a highway system. They test their designs and write reports defining the project and analyzing the results.

Students work together to build an earthquake city. They simulate the shaking during an earthquake to discover if their structure is built well enough. They discover how engineers complete these types of tests to develop better...

Learners examine the components of ecosystems. They compare and contrast an ecosystem to an aquatic ecosystem. They examine a local ecosystem and discuss its components.

Students demonstrate the canon form and Bach's Two-Part Inventions by composing an aesthetically pleasing left-hand part after being given only the right hand part to J.S. Bach's Invention No. 8 in F Major. Keyboard lab suggested.

Students discuss the role of trade and a global economy. As a class, they identify the costs and benefits of trade and how it is being questioned in today's society. They discover what is imported to the United States and the role of...

Students describe their current mood in several complete sentences. They compare their moods with moods set by authors through the tone of their writing. Students read a teacher prepared handout about mood/tone of writing. They write...

Students create and publish a newspaper based on Arthurian literature and history. After completing a class read of "King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table," students work in groups to write an article based on their...

Students investigate patters for area and perimeter. In this Algebra I/Geometry lesson, students explore two different patterns as they write a formula for the nth term of each pattern. Students graph their results and determine if the...

Learners explore reflections on a coordinate plane in this lesson plan. They trace their hand on a grid, determine the coordinates of each point, and create a scatter plot of their points. Pupils use this information to investigate...

Students solve for the area of different polygons. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify and differentiate between regular and irregular polygons. They use properties of irregular polygons to solve problems.

Students solve and verify the solution for unknown measures. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the properties of circles. They use the arc, angle and segment relationship to find the missing measures.
