Where do the coordinates lead? As children brainstorm ways to find the location of different buildings, they learn about coordinate points and how to use them to locate areas on a grid or map. They practice using ordered pairs by playing...

Clarify the Common Core standards for your eighth grade mathematicians with this series of classroom displays. By rewriting each standard as an achievable "I can" statement, these posters give students clear goals to work toward...

Your learners will appreciate the complete picture of linear inequalities presented in this lesson plan. Starting simply with definitions and moving all the way to solving linear inequality word problems this activity is simple to...

Get close up and personal with a drop of water to discover how the polarity of its molecules affect its behavior. Elementary hydrologists split and combine water droplets, and also compare them to drops of oil. Much neater than placing a...

In class, your emerging environmentalists construct dust catchers. They take them home for a week or two, and then bring them back into class to examine under a magnifier. From this activity, they learn what makes up dust and that...

With a partner, youngsters measure their pulse and breathing rates, both at rest and after running in place for a minute. While this activity is not novel, the lesson plan includes a large-scale classroom graphing activity and other...

Students determine the equipotential lines surrounding a charged object. In this physics lesson, students draw lines to identify areas. They relate the spacing of the field lines to the strength of the charge.

Third graders display information in a graph, table, and chart. In this data lesson plan, 3rd graders look at graphs, tables, and charts, discuss their importance, and make their own.

In this social studies strategies learning exercise, students record events in a story and chart them on a line graph according to how good or bad they are in the life of the main character.

Students experiment with distance, speed, and motion by graphing the motion of a bowling ball. For this distance versus time graphing lesson, students observe the speed and distance of a rolling ball and graph their findings. They then...

Learn how to display data. Young data analysts watch a video to review how to create cumulative frequency histograms and box plots. They work on a set of questions to practice producing these data displays.  

Students graph lines in a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, students graph lines on a coordinate plane, and identify the slope. They classify the lines as parallel or perpendicular and write an equation of a given line.

In this algebra learning exercise, students calculate the point of intersection between a circle and a straight line. There are 5 questions with an answer key.

In this graphing worksheet, students read about independent and dependant variables and learn how to determine speed from the slope of a position vs. time graph. This worksheet has 4 matching, 17 fill in the blank, and 2 problems to solve.

Students brainstorm favorite things to do during the summer. They survey classmates to collect data, arrange it in a chart, and create graphs using ClarisWorks.

Tenth graders explore the angle relationships that exist when two lines intersect. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders estimate the measure of given angles and use their graphing calculator tools. Students use this knowledge to find...

Students take a walk around the schoolyard looking at and identifying the trees. One leaf for each tree is collected. A chart is developed that represents the population of trees on the school ground. They keep journals and write an essay.

Students examine Australian folktales. In this folktales lesson plan, students read the Australian folktale, Why Koala Has a Stumpy Tale. Students list characteristics of the characters from the book. Students act out these...

Students investigate the growth rate of a man named Bob Wadlow.  In this growth rate of a man lesson, students determine if the growth rate of this particular man was normal or abnormal.  Students bring in data of their height...

For this using data to make graphs  worksheet, students interactively answer 10 multiple choice questions then click to check their answers.

Students identify symmetry and create their own frog design. Students apply hand-eye coordination in placing their designs of cross-stitch netting. Students identify with new textures. Students present and analyze their design once...

Life isn't fair ... like inequalities. After first reviewing inequality symbols and how to read inequality statements, learners discover how to solve one-step inequalities and graph their solution sets.

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Pupils determine the pattern in collinear points in order to determine the next point in a sequence. Using the definition of slope, they practice using the slope formula, and finish the activity with three different ways to...
