Latitude and Longitude: Geography and Geometry!
Second graders use latitude and longitude coordinates to pinpoint an exact location on the map. In this geography lesson, 2nd graders utilize handouts from the Maritime Museum in order to gain practice in finding locations throughout the...
Curated OER
Sloping and Intersecting a Linear Function
Students examine and discuss typical linear equations, and the difference between a linear and nonlinear equation. They observe examples of linear equations and complete a worksheet.
Curated OER
Finding Slope of a Line
Young scholars 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.
Curated OER
Transforming Fish
Tenth graders investigate transformations. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders are provided the coordinates of a fish and are directed to transform the fish according to the instructions.
Curated OER
The Statistical Nature of Test Data
Students investigate the properties of various metals. They conduct an experiment and gather the data by putting into the proper statistical graphs. The data is analyzed and conclusions are formed according to the properties of the metals.
Curated OER
Math and Science in a Wetland
Students describe safe practice when doing field and lab investigations in a estuary or wetland. They create a model of an estuary and describe their value and function. They participate in field study in which they collect and analyze...
Curated OER
Graphing With RXTE
Students use data from the Rossi X-ray Tiiming Explorer (RXTE) satellite to analyze and graph.
Curated OER
Identifying Points in the Coordinate Plane
In this ordered pairs worksheet, students identify 6 ordered pairs given a coordinate plane. Students list the ordered pair given the graph.
Curated OER
What Percentage of your Class is Right or Lef Handed?
Students using their right hands, put the first letter of their last name in each square on a piece of square grid paper. Then after the 20 seconds is up, they do the same thing using their left hands.
