Students explore the art of shadow puppetry. In this performing arts lesson, students study the functions of lighting in the puppet theater as they examine the transmission, absorption, and reflection of light. As a culminating activity,...

Students analyze the motion of a particle along a straight line. In this precalculus lesson, students use the TI to analyze the position of a function as they graph and visualise the function. They calculate the distance and...

Students identify the meaning of the Mean Value Theorem. For this calculus lesson, students solve problems using the definite integral. They calculate the average value of a function.

Students identify plants parts and their functions.  For this plant cycle lesson, students examine parts of plants and how the parts help them survive in its environment. Students use graphic organizers, the internet, books and...

Students practice representing problems found in the real world in terms that can be translated into mathematical expressions. The situations are represented in tables and graphs by students.

Students use the quadratic formula to solve application problems. The first problem relates to the path of a football thrown from the top of the bleachers. Students compute the time it will take the football to reach certain heights. In...

Students collect and graph their data. In this precalculus lesson, students identify the input and out of a function. They find the domain and range and the inverse of a function.

Students create analogies that help them remember the cell parts as well as their respective functions.

Students examine plants using adiotapes, Internet research, and print media. They name the plant parts and discover their functions. Students create computer-generated pictures of their plants and label the parts. Other activities...

Students examine the concept of sequences. Students create a sequence using varied starting numbers, multipliers, and add on values. Students practice determining the starting values to use in order to produce a desired sequence.

Students solve quadratic equations using graphs. In this algebra lesson, students factor quadratic equations and graph their answer. They discuss the shape of their graph based on the function.

Learners are introduced to how the digestive system works in their body. In groups, they discover they need energy and water to live a healthy life. They discover how the body repairs itself and how it grows. They also examine how...

Learners sort objects and create patterns. In this sorting and graphing lesson, students work at centers to find a way to sort a group of objects, then make a graphical representation of the number of each item. Finally, learners create...

Students discover the linear relationship between degrees Farenheit and degrees Celsius. They manually compute the slope and y-intercept of the line passing through points. They convert Celsius to Fahrenheit degrees.

Young scholars demonstrate an understanding of the relationships of the Fibonacci Sequence. They apply the Fibonacci Sequence and find its relationship to a piano keyboard. They explore various relationships between music and the...

Learners consider the relationship of temperature to environmental conditions and then apply their knowledge to a practical event. The task assesses students' knowledge and application of that knowledge to an additional situation.
