Students solve weight equations. For this equations lesson, groups of students weigh and separate pennies to find information necessary to solve simultaneous equations. The teacher provides equations based on the weight of pennies before...

Fourth graders study the American Civil War. They read and analyze information regarding the casualties of the Civil War, fucusing on Indiana soldiers. They graph the information and then write in their reflective journals responding...

Twelfth graders read and interpret v-t graphs. After studying velocity and time, 12th graders read graphs to calculate the acceleration of a moving body and determine the distance and displacement of a body. Students explore the...

Students engage in a lesson that focuses on the concept of linear equations. They practice solving problems with a variety of problems and graphing the solution set for each. Students write a summary paragraph about two methods of...

Students solve inequalities and systems of equations. In this algebra lesson, students use substitution and elimination as they solve algebraic systems. They use graphing and a table to support their solutions.

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.

Pupils explore integration of Major League Baseball, identify important individual baseball players who played key roles in integration, and analyze historical information through charts, graphs, and statistics.

Students calculate the distance and velocity over time. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph a linear function to represent the distance vers time travel. They interpret their graphs and draw conclusion.

Pupils collect and Analyze data. In this statistics lesson, students identify the line of best fit of the graph. They classify lines as having positive, negative and no correlation.

Students use triangles to find the length and slope of each side. After connecting the vertices, they add points based on their specific instructions. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to complete a worksheet to end the lesson.

In this patterns in nature activity, students read about the Fibonacci Spiral, then follow the directions to plot one on the graph paper and draw the spiral, with links to more information.

Learners explore the Cartesian coordinate plane and plot points on the graph. They interpret coordinates for a point from the graph and give the ratio of rise over run for slope.

In this motion worksheet, students compare two graphs showing a bug's distance traveled over time. Students calculate the average speed of the bugs and determine which bug was traveling at a constant speed. This worksheet has 1 short...

Learners explore coffee production.  In this cross-curriculum rainforest ecology lesson, students research regions where coffee comes from and investigate how the native birds in the rainforest are effected by coffee...

In this high school worksheet, students solve problems involving angles, functions, square roots, and sequences.  They read word problems, write equations, and then solve them.  This 28-page worksheet contains 39 problems. 

Students investigate scores as they relate to race. In this algebra instructional activity, students analyze standardized scores and how race can affect these scores. They plot their findings on a graph and draw conclusions.

Students use FoilSim to demonstrate that the graphic analysis of the airflow around one object can be used to hypothesize airflow graphs for objects as they are elongated from a sphere to an airfoil shape.

Fourth graders, in groups, analyze portions of William Cullen Bryant's poem, "Thanatopsis." They present their analysis to the class and discuss the meaning of the poem as a whole. They also identify the poetic elements present in the...

Students study how to mark inclines and construct a mountain profile.  In this topographic map lesson students mark contour intervals and draw mountain profiles. 

In this systems of equations worksheet, students solve systems of equations, systems of inequalities, and linear equations.  They read word problems and write a system of equations that depicts the problem.  this two-page...

Students develop a sense of self. They complete several activities involving their name. They disuss what names are useful for safety purposes.

Learners experiment with inner tubes, weights, flasks, and pistons to demonstrate the gas laws. In this molecular motion instructional activity, students demonstrate pressure as a force per area. They conduct an experiment to show the...

Students solve systems of equations with fluency. In this algebra lesson, students graph, use elimination and substitution to solve systems of equations. They identify the point of intersection using algebra.
