A function is like a machine that has an input and an output. Challenge scholars to look at the eight given points and determine the two functions that would fit four of the points each — one is linear and the other non-linear. The...

Let knowledge grow bountifully like plants in a garden. Given a diagram of a rectangular garden split into plots, scholars determine the area of the entire garden and the areas of the individual plots. As a culminating activity, they...

Bothered by a wobbly table? Learn how to fix this problem using concepts of slope and continuity. Pupils first consider the problem in two dimensions and then progress to three dimensions. The solution is really quite simple.

Rational expressions are just fancy fractions! Pupils apply fractions concepts to rational expressions. They find equivalent expressions by simplifying rational expressions using factoring. They include limits to the domain of the...

Young scholars explore a variety of functions. They recognize and describe functions and use linear functions to describe situations. Students find the domain and range of linear functions and graph rational expressions.

Eighth graders participate in two data collection activities that involve direct and inverse variation. In the pre-assessment, 8th graders categorize numerical, graphical, and verbal representations as linear or nonlinear and determine...

Students calculate the costs for lodging and meals for a virtual field trip. They calculate the number of nights lodging needed for road and city travel and the number of meals needed, the costs for each, and input the data using...

Students simplify complex radicals following a specific technique. In this math lesson, students simulate the process using several decks of cards. They explore real life applications of radicals.

In this trigonometry worksheet, students prove that for the given conditions of the problem that cos y = cos2 x.  The one page worksheet contains one problem with the solution. 

Third graders explore the attributes of 3-dimensional shapes. In this shapes lesson, 3rd graders examine faces, edges, and vertices of 3-dimensional shapes as they construct shapes using marshmallows and toothpicks.

Students work together to examine how different types of balls react to colliding with different surfaces. They discover the difference between elastic and inelastic collisions. They practice calculating momentum as well.

Students calculate the mileage, gasoline costs, and travel time and costs for a vacation. They conduct a virtual field trip, and create a comparison graph of costs using Microsoft Excel software.

Groups of Kindergarten students count craft sticks in different groups and name how many they have. They complete simple addition to ten with the use of manipulatives.

Pupils collect and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, learners create a scatter plot from their collected data. They use, tables and graphs to analyze the data and mae decisions.

In this angles worksheet, learners utilize trigonometry to determine angles of elevation and depression. There are 7 questions and some contain pictures.

In this color worksheet, students answer 16 questions about light, color and wavelength. They label a graph of position vs. displacement and answer questions about the graph including finding the frequency, amplitude, and wavelength.

In this harmonic motion worksheet, students answer 9 questions about pendulums, a slinky and characteristics of harmonic motion. They identify the changes in waves as the amplitude gets bigger and interpret a graph of position vs. time.

Eighth graders examine the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane through experimentation.

Middle schoolers use a two-liter bottle, dowel rod and index cards to design and construct a water wheel. They then calculate the power created and measure the work done by the water wheel in Watts and Joules.

Students analyze graphs to compare cell phone plans. For this algebra lesson, students work together to analyze phone plans and report the best phone plan. Students develop tables and graphs.

Students analyze velocity and how it is determined. They experiment with velocity in order to measure and calculate the magnitude of speed. They use examples in their novel "Skateboard Renegade" to relate velocity to real life situations.

In this graphing inequalities worksheet, students create graphs of algebraic expressions containing inequalities. This two-page worksheet contains explanations and examples prior to the exercise. The first page is a contains...

First graders complete center activities as they practice their addition and subtraction skills. They listen to Rick Walton's, "How Many, How Many, How Many" before playing games, and completing addition and subtraction worksheets at...

Students experiment with a converging lens. They observe the image of an object through a lens. They determine the magnification of the lens.
