Students participate in a game in which they compare fractions and graph the fractions.

Ninth graders graph linear equations and inequalities in two variables and then, they write equations of lines and find and use the slope and y-intercept of lines. They use linear equations to model real data and define to define the...

Students use physical models and graphs in order to solve problems that have their origin in the real world that require algebraic thinking. The words are changed into equations and inequalities in order to be solved. This requires...

Learners investigate the human circulatory system by experimenting with hoses.  In this human body lesson, students create a system of hoses simulating the circulatory system which they utilize to pass objects through....

Students calculate the maximum and minimum of each function. In this algebra lesson, students collect and graph data to analyze it. They differentiate between the absolute max and min and the maxima and minima of each function.

Students study information for fish farm workers given in the form of a chart, in order to practice interpreting data while learning about the career of a fisherman. In this data interpretation lesson, students read the chart to find out...

Students investigate and study logarithmic equations. In this precalculus lesson, students analyze the data behind the function. They define each graph as positive, negative or no correlation. They find the line of best fit.

Here is a activity that is almost a lesson! In it, learners conduct an experiment in which they determine the size of objects when viewed through viewing tubes. This resource has all of the instructions and tables necessary to complete...

Students explore human behavior by participating in a class science game. In this human characteristics lesson, students identify different human traits that are passed down by each generation and the purpose each of them have. Students...

Learners actively find the line of best fit. They gather their own data and then use a calculator to find the line of best fit, as well as the equation. They see how to use the TI 81 calculator in order to find the line of best fit.

Third graders investigate cause and effect. For this cause and effect lesson, 3rd graders read a story and determine what are the causes and effects. Students match sentence strips to the make the correct cause and effect sentence....

Learners investigate the gradient function of a polynomial and they conduct a class discussion about its meaning. Then students use graphing software in order to examine tangents that can be seen visually to aid those who need visual...

Fourth graders read the problem and brainstorm for ways to solve the problem - list these on the board for the students to refer to as they solve the problem. They work in pairs and focus on the strategy selected.

Fourth graders listen to the story of a farmer who only likes to be able to see nine sheet from his window. His wife has brought him another sheep - what now? They work together in pairs to solve the problem and share solutions.

Students participate in a hands-on activity with popcorn and a calculator in order to determine pi.

Pupils explore financial applications of linear functions. As they investigate the steps necessary to plan a fundraising event, learners explore minimizing cost and maximizing profits.

Middle schoolers use a computer to complete activitites about slope. They find the slope of mountains, roofs, and stairs using rise over run. Pupils are shown different types of slopes and have to identify if the slope is positive,...

Middle schoolers thread a piece of spaghetti through the holes in the cup. One person suspend the cup by placing each index finger approximately one inch in from the ends of the spaghetti.

Fifth graders study dehydration and dehydration of foods. They measure the amount of water lost from fruits as they are dehydrated. They use desktop publishing software to design an advertisement for dehydrated fruit after researching...

Young mathematicians look for patterns in inverse functions as they relate to the original functions. The comprehensive activity emphasizes vocabulary throughout as well as algebraic and graphical characteristics of the inverse functions.

Students find the coordinates of the vertices of special quadrilaterals placed in the coordinate plane. They find the coordinates of missing vertices of squares and parallelograms.

Eighth graders find the circumference and diameter of several lids, show the relationship of the two measurements and derive the formula for finding the area of a circle. In this area of a circle lesson plan, 8th graders find...

Investigate geometric reflections in this geometry lesson. Create geometric reflections that show the reflection across the x and y axis of a coordinate graph. Learners watch a teacher demonstration before proceeding on their own. They...

Learners pretend they have visited a forest research station on an overnight field trip. They study forest fires, use compass directions, read maps, interpret imagery, and think about the impact of fire on ecosystems.
