Explore the concept of density within states of matter—gases, liquids, and solids—through a group experiment in which young scientists test objects' texture, color, weight, size, and ability to sink or float.    

Seeing is believing. Given several bivariate data sets, learners make scatter plots using the online SeeIt program to visualize the correlation. To get a more complete picture of the topic, they research their own data set and perform an...

In this analyzing cubes learning exercise, 9th graders solve and complete 6 different types of problems. First, they organize the given data into the table provided. Then, students study the patterns in the table and tell whether the...

Students rewrite word problems using symbols. For this algebra lesson, students rewrite equations graphically, algebraically and verbally. They relate the concepts to the real world.

Seventh graders visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. In this tangrams lesson, 7th graders construct a set of tangrams and then answer extension questions related to measurement,...

Students compete in a scavenger hunt to find twenty-two different geometric shapes in natural objects around the school. They practice identification of each geometric shape using a handout then form small groups to search the school...

Sixth graders identify the x and y axes in a coordinate plane and identifies the coordinates of a given point in the first quadrant. They plot specific points in the first quadrant of the Cartesian coordinate system.

Students discover coordinates as they explore Chicago. In this math lesson plan, students give the coordinates of a point, plot a point, and use the coordinate system in locating places on a map.

Students factor trinomials correctly. In this algebra lesson, students review the rules for factoring trinomials. They factor different polynomials as they relate the same concept and idea to facoring trinomials.

Students discuss vocabulary words and compare definitions. They read chapters 6-9 of the novel, Dragonwings, and discuss point of view, and complete a plot diagram. Then they review the four types of conflict and identify the conflicts...

High schoolers make weather predictions and observations, research the cost of snowboarding equipment, and use their math skills to plot the course of a Giant Slalom Snowboarding event.

Students learn what happens when ice melts. They explore melting, and devise ways of speeding up and slowing down the melting process.

Learners explore numbers patterns and write equations to describe the pattern. They apply the equations to further the patterns.

Pupils use the concepts of PING to examine Internet delay. They discuss why PING is used in the Computer Science industry. They practice interpreting data as well.

Students develop code systems to transmit information between groups. They explore, explain and apply techniques used to transmit remote sensing data to better understand remote sensing images.

Learners review the meaning of control and variables, and state difference between dependent and independent variables. They complete a worksheet with the definitions and complete problems that show their understanding.

The interactive learning activity allows students to plot multiple ordered pairs. Teacher resources are included.

Dive into this introduction to graphing in the coordinate plane, and meet a chameleon named Sam. Sam will help guide you through graphing points on a line, using negative numbers, and graphing points in the coordinate plane.

This lesson introduces students to Activity Center and is intended to help students develop an initial conceptual understanding of how to plot a set of points using a coordinate grid and to create lists to represent the ordered pairs for...

A lesson that help students visualize coordinate graphing and discover the four quadrants of the coordinate plane. Students will be able to graph ordered pairs and then make conjectures about the values of x and y coordinates and the...

Use this clever applet to move your robot to safe ordered pairs as it travels to its destination. This all takes place in the first quadrant. Direction are just a click away.

Students discover how pictures formed by graphing ordered pairs can be stretched and shrunk by multiplying and dividing the coordinates.

Learners participate as a class in this activity using their desks as points on the coordinate plane. The teacher leads them in the activity, increasing their understanding of the characteristics of the coordinate plane.

The Shodor Education Foundation provides this lesson plan to have students practice simple computation that results in them graphing their answers. If they are accurate they will have a straight line. Students use an interactive...
