Students graph their linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students examine their lines and relate it to the slope or rate of change. They relate the steepness of the line to the slope being positive, negative or zero.

High schoolers will determine distances to nearby stars using parallax. In this Astronomy lesson plan, students will use a web program, trigonometry, and sketches to determine the distance of stars.

Students define slope, and practice finding the slope of lines through given points. They determine the angle of inclination. Students find the relationship between the slope and the tangent of the lines. Students determine special...

Students identify the basic structural and decorative designs, create examples of line (horizontal/vertical/curved/diagonal), as well as identify and explain the difference between shape and form. Then, they identify and explain the use...

A set of instructions that help learners draw concentric orbital arcs to scale of each planet.  There is a table to complete with data and questions to check understanding of realistic orbits and relative sizes.

Triangles and prisms don't stand a chance when your learners use this handout full of the formulas they need to know about the different shapes. Area, volume, and surface formulas are all covered along with the standard measurement and...

Which is the best reflection of them all? Given four diagrams, pupils determine which one shows the most accurate reflection of a quadrilateral. Two images provide the distances of each vertex from the line of reflection, as well as the...

Don't circle around the topic, but get right to the center with tons of practice regarding circles in geometry. The note-incorporated learning exercise provides guided practice through many topics such as central angles, inscribed...

Analyze data on a graph to answer three questions after a robot race. Learners practice comparing ratios and reading points on a graph. Answers may vary on the last question based on accuracy of graphing. Use the lesson along with...

Draw a graph that shows the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally. Make sure learners understand where time is zero and the distance is zero. It may take them some time to understand this concept, so working...

Games are great ways to motivate. The class is split into two teams; each team earns points by correctly spelling given words. To score bonus points, teams get to shoot baskets with a small ball. Tip: This game could be used to reinforce...

Students create a dynamic composition by repeatedly drawing found objects using the techniques of perspective, diminishing scale, and receding lines. This lesson includes rubric for assessment.

Students engage in a instructional activity that covers the concepts related to the graphing of hyperbolas looking at topics like foci, center, vertices, and asymptotes. They find multiple different points in the coordinate plain and...

Student apply linear relationships to the real world. They use Ken and Barbie dolls and experiment to find the line of best fit. They collect data, analyze data, and make predictions from it. The students also use Microsoft Power Point...

In this chain rule worksheet, students use the chain rule and substitution to find partial derivatives. They identify total surface area, and find the distance from the origin to the plane. This one-page worksheet contains seven...

In this graphing worksheet, learners graph linear equations on a coordinate plane. Students identify the slope and y-intercept of each problem, find the midpoint of a line, and the distance between given points. Given an equation,...

Students locate their own communites and the nearest caves on a United States map. They calculate the distance to the nearest cave using rough scale.

A game is a great way to learn. Study what makes an integers, their traits, and characteristics. This lesson includes 3 separate activities intended to promote an understanding of integers, whole numbers, and opposites. The class is...

In this light worksheet, students describe the electromagnetic spectrum based on wavelength and frequency. Students determine the wavelength, frequency, and energy for given point on the spectrum. This worksheet has 10 problems to solve.

Tenth graders create a topographic map and see how it represents  different elevations. In this topographic maps lesson students read and interpret topographic maps. 

Fourth graders complete an experiment on calculating speed.  For this speed calculation lesson students complete an activity in which they have dominoes fall as slow as possible. 

In this transit problem learning exercise, students read clues about bus stops and their routes.  They determine the time between stops and the shortest path possible.  This one-page learning exercise contains 1 multi-step...

Students research USGS maps and identify the major features. In this map skills lesson plan, students identify low and high elevations on a USGS map and practice finding latitude and longitude.

Students study the history of kites and their fundamental properties.  For this kites lesson students divide into teams and build and fly kites.
