While all light travels at the same speed, each color in the visible light spectrum contains a different wavelength and frequency. Scholars determine the relationship between frequency and wavelength as they complete the activity. They...

Pupils analyze the relationship between speed, time and distance. For this math lesson, students plan a school trip. Pupils determine the efficiency and cost effectiveness of a trip.

Students solve and graph inequalities involving absolute value. They discuss and identify the basic properties of inequalities, and solve basic examples.

Fifth graders investigate data from maps to solve problems. In this data lesson, 5th graders study maps and collect data from each map. Students present their data in a variety of ways and calculate the mode, mean, median, and range.

Students practice plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane while participating in a discussion about the Possible Or Not worksheet/activity. Students also use the Impossible Graphs worksheet to practice reading a graph,...

Use a worksheet to go over the basic concepts of relations and functions. Included are clear definitions and examples of relations, domain and range, and functions and the vertical line test.  However, the problems are pretty...

Young statisticians are introduced to box plots and quartiles. They use an activity and discussion with supplemental exercises to help them explore how data can be graphically represented.

Fourth graders find the range, mode, median, and mean for each of the data sets (height and shoe size). They discuss which measure of central tendency for each data set best represents the class and why. Students graph the shoe size and...

Students explore the concept of piecewise functions. In this piecewise functions lesson, students graph piecewise functions by hand and find the domain and range. Students make tables of values given a piecewise function. Students write...

Define rays and half planes, including the concepts of boundary lines and prerequisite knowledge of coordinate planes. Given linear inequalities in one and two variables, your class will compare the differences. They will also graph...

Students examine the four quadrants of Cartesian coordinate plane. They play maze games and coordinate games to discover how to read and plot points on the plane. Students plot points on the coordinate plane and examine the ratio of...

This lesson plan introduces students to the ideas involved in understanding fractals. They develop a sense of infinity, self-similarity and recursion and

Students investigate the differences between linear and exponential models.  In this linear and exponential models instructional activity, students make a table of given data.  Students determine if the data is linear or...

High schoolers define the slope of the line, find the slope between any two points on the line, and allow them to name other areas where the slope is used. They explain why the slope is defined as the rise over the run.

Students compare and contrast the various types of rocks on each continent. In groups, the calculate the rock ages and types to determine if the continents, in their opinion, were joined at one time. They develop two imaginary...

Learners explore various approaches to solving a problem of maximizing the total production of apples in an orchard. For this apple orchard lesson, students collect data in order to solve the apple orchard problem presented. Learners...

In this decibel worksheet, students answer 19 questions about amplifiers, circuits and the power gains or losses in these electrical systems.

Students explore the volume and surface area of three dimensional figures. Through the use of video, students discover three dimensional shapes, their uses in real-life applications, and methods used to calculate their volume and surface...

Students are introduced to the problem and brainstorm ideas for approaching the problem and keeping track of what has been done. They work in pairs and share their answers, explaining their reasoning.

Learners study the meaning, symbolism, and value of U.S. coins, especially the quarter. They conduct a survey of coins in students' possession, graphing the results to show frequency distribution and drawing inferences about the U.S....

In this grade 3 math worksheet, 3rd graders answer a set of 20 multiple choice questions covering a variety of grade 3 concepts. Answers may be submitted online.

Students learn about the Cartesian coordinate plane, understand the four quadrants of the Cartesian coordinate plane, and plot points on the plane. Students read coordinates for a point from a graph and give the ratio of rise over run...

Students practice plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane, see several categories of functions, including lines and parabolas, and read a graph, answering questions about the situation described by the graph

Students plot functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane. They explore lines and parabolas. Students analyze graphs and answer questions about the information presented on the graph using an online program.
