Second graders explore how the setting in a story changes throughout. In this language arts lesson, 2nd graders read a story and identify the setting at various points within the story. Students describe the changes in setting.

In this algebra worksheet, students determine the quadrant a given point is in. They find the midpoints of two line segments. Students plot points to form a triangle and find the distance between points. Students find the area of the...

Students participate in a hands-on activity to explore the relationship between the number of batteries in a series circuit and its voltage. Students identify the relationship between two variables and plot points on a graph.

Students explore graping linear equations and their relevance to real life situations. After a teacher led demonstration, students work at their desks and on the board to plot points and determine the slope of a line. Students then...

Students identify different types of functions and units of measurements. In this statistics lesson plan, students will collect data, graph their data and make predictions about their data. They plot a linear regression graph.

Young scholars play a "Battleship" type of game to practice graphing on a coordinate grid. In this graphing lesson, students listen as the teacher explains quadrants and ordered pairs. They place their "ships" on the board. The teacher...

Learners calculate the slope of a line. In this slope lesson plan, students use a graph, an equation or two points to help them calculate the slope of a line. They differentiate between a slope of zero and an undefined slope.

Students identify the different objects that orbit Saturn. In this space science lesson, students plot the graph of orbital speed and distance. They explain why planets and asteroids remain in orbit around the sun.

Students graph coordinate points to create a picture of Snoopy. In this coordinate point instructional activity, students read a book and learn about Rene Descartes' invention, the coordinate grid.  Students graph a surprise...

Students explore story structure. In this story structure literacy lesson, students listen to the story Ruby's Wish by Shirin Yim Bridges, stopping at points to identify a problem and predict possible solutions which are then written on...

Students review the principles of graphing linear functions. They discuss plotting points on a coordinate plane, solving using a table, and then graphing. Students solve problems and determine the slope of the line, y-intercept and if...

Students are introduced to significant figures and how to add, subtract, multiply and divide them. In a group, they practice plotting data points from a table to a graph and labeling all axes. They calculate the slope and y-intercept and...
