Lift—it is about the wing's attack. Using a virtual wind tunnel, pupils investigate wing shape and angle of attack. Learners use worksheets to record their observations and to convert verbal relationships into mathematical equations in...

Explore the difference between stochastic and deterministic modeling through programming. First have the class write algorithms for relatively simple tasks using pseudocode. Use the Python 2.7 program app to simulate Mendel's Pea Pod...

Connect geometric sequences to exponential functions. The 26th installment of a 35-part module has scholars model situations using geometric sequences. Writing recursive and explicit formulas allow scholars to solve problems in context.

Eighth graders graph two inequalities with a single variable. They include drawing the intersection or union of inequalities on a number line. Students solve the linear equations using properties of equality and inequality. The...

Students illustrate the concept of balancing equations using a Four-Pan Algebra Balance. In this balancing lesson plan, students visualize why it is necessary to add or subtract the same quantity on both sides of an equation when solving...

Students practice graphing quadratic equations. They work to solve and equation involving finding the vertex using given formulas. Once their points have been graphed, students determine the direction in which the angle opens. Worksheets...

High schoolers identify the pattern changes that could occur in a series using pictures with dots. They use the patterns on the worksheets to have a context to describe pattern in words. Students look to find the linear, quadratic, or...

Student use mental math to solve linear equations. In this algebra lesson, young scholars solve one and two steps equations. They write expressions using variables to identify the unknown.

Students create their plays to demonstrate concepts from Algebra I. They collaborate in small groups to add music and dancing to their plays. They analyze the suggestions from the previous class as they revise their plays.

Students revise their Algebra plays. They collaborate in small groups to work on different aspects of the play and report to the class. They make modifications to their plans and review the Musical Rubric to incorporate the concepts...

Young scholars create a spreadsheet to analyze functions. In this algebra lesson plan, students use spreadsheets to find the intersection of systems of equations. They identify the dependent and independent function as it relates to a line.

In this algebra learning exercise, students figure out the equation of the general vector, they find the orthogonal basis and apply the formula to solve the problems.

In this math worksheet, students find the solution to the algebra problem that focuses upon the finding of the nodes and the equations have the solutions written on page 2.

Learners are introduced to the elimination method in Algebra. As a class, they solve two linear equations with two unknowns using this new method. They discuss the positive and negative aspects of using this method to solve problems. ...

High schoolers solve inequalities problems. In this algebra lesson, students graph the solution of inequalities on a number line. They discuss boundaries and open or closed intervals.

Scholars find a pattern from a geometric sequence and write the formula for extending it. The worksheet includes a table to complete plus four analysis questions. It concludes with instructional implications for the teacher.

Sixth graders convert customary linear measurements. They explore using ratios to convert from inches to feet, ounces to pounds, etc. In groups, 6th graders complete conversions. They explain to the class how to solve their problems.

Young scholars investigate the concept of using quadratic data to plot coordinates on a plane. They also apply the quadratic formula for a variety of problems with the help of a graphing calculator to draw the parabola for given...
