Use this series of activities to introduce learners to graphing functions. They graph both linear and quadratic equations by hand and with a Graph Sketcher Tool. Several imbedded links and handouts are included in the instructional...

Learners explore multiplying fractions and their relationship to parts of a whole. They draw and shade fractional parts to show parts of a whole and fractional parts of a fraction. Pupils also use an Internet site for interactive...

Use paper strips or models to relate division problems to division of fraction problems. Since the materials can be broken up, it helps them to show how they can complete repeated subtraction with fractions and not just whole numbers.

This is a nice hands-on activity where young geometers create trapezoids and calculate their area by looking at areas of quadrilaterals and triangles. 

In this modeling data activity, learners use quadratic functions to model data using three different methods.  This activity provides explanations and an example.  Additionally, students are given the steps to find the maximum...

Students complete tasks. In this Seven Intelligences lesson, students complete a variety of activities that are all based on the seven different intelligences humans are supposed to possess based on Dr. Gardener's theory. They work in...

In this limitations of formulas worksheet, students answer four essay questions about functions. Two questions refer to the limitations of formulas. They graph one function and explain how it specifies the rule of the function.

Sixth graders explore using inverse operations to solve decimal and fraction problems. In this decimal and fraction instructional activity, 6th graders prepare ribbon for a part and need to cut it in equal lengths. Students analyze the...

In this percentages worksheet, students write twelve decimals as percentages and twelve percentages as decimals. Students check their answers with the key when they are finished.

In this percentages learning exercise, students write eighteen fractions as percentages. Students problem solve each fraction as a percentage.

In this graphing points worksheet, students answer multiple choice questions about the points on a given graph. Students answer 10 questions total.

In this graphing points worksheet, students complete multiple choice questions about axis's on a graph and points on a graph. Students complete 10 questions total.

Students discover the linear relationship between degrees Farenheit and degrees Celsius. They manually compute the slope and y-intercept of the line passing through points. They convert Celsius to Fahrenheit degrees.

Students 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.

Eighth graders experiment with building bridges of spaghetti, pennies, and a cup to determine how varying the number of spagetti pieces affects the strength of the bridge. They graph their results and interpret the data.

Students solve and graph linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students solve systems of equations using elimination and substitution. They graph their answer and identify the point of intersection.

Students define trapezoids and their shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, students calculate the area of a trapezoid and a parallelogram. They use Cabri software to make investigations.

Students use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students solve for the distances by calculating the different parts of the shape of a two and three dimensional shape. They reason by analogy.

Fifth graders read postcards and find their locations on maps. They use the pictures and text on the postcards to write about imaginary vacations. They compute the mileage and compare it to TripMaker data.

Learners create a matrix of the vertices of a triangle and produce new matrices that dilate, translate, rotate, and reflect the original triangle. After multiplying each matrix by a new scale factor, they graph the new matrix and...

In this eighth grade mathematics worksheet, 8th graders are presented with questions indicative of those on the eighth grade mathematics examination.  The twelve page worksheet contains six free response questions that cover a...

In this algebra worksheet, students solve and graph linear equations. They differentiate between parallel and perpendicular lines. There are 35 questions about graphing.

Students calculate the slope of a line. In this algebra lesson, students graph a line using the slope and y-intercepts. They define the steepness of the line using the slope.

High schoolers use data from the Rossi X-ray Tiiming Explorer (RXTE) satellite to analyze and graph.
