Are history textbooks plagiarized? The New York Times article, “Schoolbooks Are Given F’s in Originality,” looks at this question and forms the basis for a activity on textbooks and plagiarism. The very detailed plan includes resource...

Learners view the website known as http://www.kids4truth.com/eng_creation.htm and read the story of Creation. In this social science lesson, students discuss what the world looked like when it was perfect and then discuss the way looked...

Learners find the identity o sine, cosine and tangent. In this precalculus lesson, students solve and identify the different parts of a right triangle. They use the ratios of the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing side or angle.

“Yea, there thou mak’st me sad and mak’st me sin/In envy that my Lord Northumberland/Should be the father to so blest a son--.” Henry IV, Part I, provides the text for a series of exercises that ask class members to examine the...

“The tempter or the tempted, who sins most?” Prediction, verification, judgment, and extensions of thought are all part of a Directed ReadingThinking Activity (DRTA) developed for Measure for Measure. The rationale, assessments...

Elizabeth Cady Stanton compares sins to monsters, using a metaphor to make a point about morality. Using the fifth of 14 lessons from the Grade 11 ELA Module 2: Unit 2 series, learners analyze paragraphs 8-10 of "An Address by Elizabeth...

Twelfth graders consider the structure of the Roman Catholic Church in the Middle Ages. In this morality lesson, 12th graders examine the 95 Theses of Martin Luther and determine his reason for writing them. Students also discuss the...

Students examine the need for Reformation of the church. For this Reformation lesson, students understand our freedom in Christ as compared to receiving salvation through actions. Students participate in an activity that models how...

Students study the law of sine and cosine. For this pre-calculus lesson, students create a triangle and identify the different ratios of a non-right triangle. They use the properties of sine and cosine to solve.

Students solve equations containing variables on both side of the equal sign. In this algebra lesson, students combine like terms using opposite signs to get them on one side of the equal sign. They model the equations using bar models...

In this math worksheet, they investigate the polar graph of: r = a + b sin (t), for various values of a and b. This is called a limacon and is applied to the definition of a transformation.

Students engage in a lesson that is about computing the limits of trigonometric functions. They practice computing the functions of sin, cos, and sin to find the missing values related to triangles. Students also calculate the limits of...

A fabulous lesson which combines mathematics with space science. Middle schoolers work in cooperative groups in order to research early astronauts and their accomplishments. They look at a variety of rocket and space shuttle designs, and...

Have your English language learners review basic house-related vocabulary. This section focuses mainly on the different pronunciation between the letter v and b. Clear audio clips are provided, and many fun, interactive exercises are...

If you are looking for a secular approach to teaching about Easter, this may just be the resource for you. Pupils read a paraphrased text depicting the last supper, arrest, and crucifixion of Jesus Christ as told in the Bible,...

New to using Paradise Lost in your classroom? Here's a packet that provides background information, lists of research projects, and enrichment resources. A great addition to your curriculum file.

One must obey the sine laws. A activity introduces and derives the Law of Sines for non-right triangles. With examples that use the Law of Sines to determine unknown measures in triangles, the activity checks to see if the...

Laws are meant to be broken, right? Learners derive the Law of Sines by dropping a perpendicular from one vertex to its opposite side. Using the Law of Sines, mathematicians solve for various parts of triangles.

Introduce your classes to a new world of mathematics. Pupils learn to call trigonometric ratios by their given names: sine, cosine, and tangent. They find ratios and use known ratios to discover missing sides of similar...

Don't give your classes the third degree. Use radians instead! While working with degrees, learners find that they are not efficient and explore radians as an alternative. They convert between the two measures and use radians with the...

Have young mathematicians create new identities! They explore the even/odd, cofunction, and periodicity identities through an analysis of tables and graph. Next, learners discover the relationships while strengthening their...

Knowing the addition formulas allows for the calculations of double and half formulas. The fourth installment of 16 has the class use the addition formula to develop the double angle trigonometric formulas. Using the double formula,...

Are your Spanish speakers learning the subjunctive? Have them listen to Spanish songs, discuss the meaning of each, and use the subjunctive form to complete the fill-in-the-blank song sheet. On day three, learners have the opportunity to...

Have class members going in circles as they model the path of a Ferris Wheel using trigonometric functions. Building on the previous lesson in this series on transformations, learners use trigonometric functions to model wheels of...
