Learn how to evaluate the derivatives of polynomials.  Mathematicians find the derivative of a quadratic function and determine the value at a given value.  Students compare the slope of the secant line through two points with...

Young scholars perform an experiment with different sizes of followers (from an easy to follow set of teacher directions) and record their observations. They test the rotations of the driver compared to the rotations of a follower and...

Students collect information and use a line to represent it. In this algebra lesson plan, students investigate real world data to see if it makes a line. They graph the line comparing the relationship of the x axis with that of...

Young scholars calculate the probability of an event occurring. In this probability lesson plan, students differentiate between independent, dependent or compound events. They find the range of the data.

Graph and solve linear equations in two variables. The class relates the concepts of linear equations to the real world.

Students examine functions and function notation. They use computer activities to discover how to graph functions, and conduct a vertical line test. Students describe spatial relationships using coordinate geometry.

Young scholars use an ancient math game to establish the context for solving problems by investigating them in a systematic and mathematical way. They also need to have the ability to solve various types of equations.

Students solve 2 X 2 systems using graphing and algebraic methods.

Provide a real world context in which exponential functions are used to determine a eal world phenomena such as compound interest and exponential growth. This lesson should be taught after learners have mastered the laws of exponents and...

An interesting instructional activity on hypothesizing about the diameter of a drop of blood that is splattered. To test their theories, learners work in groups to make blood droplets splatter from different heights. They use graphed...

Tenth graders explore mathematics by participating in hands-on daily activities. Learners identify a list of different shapes and classify them by shape, size, sides and vertices. They utilize tangrams and geometric pieces to gain...

Every year, the moon moves 3.8 cm farther from Earth. In the 11th part of 22, classes use the distance formula. They determine the distance to the moon based upon given data and then graph Galileo spacecraft data to determine its movement.

Tenth graders investigate the use of a GPS. In this math lesson plan, the students will use a GPS type system to determine positioning in two dimensions.  They will complete questions out of a student workbook.  

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

Fourth graders find the range, mode, median, and mean for each of the data sets (height and shoe size). They discuss which measure of central tendency for each data set best represents the class and why. Students graph the shoe size and...

Students work together to discover the flow rates of faucets and rivers. They relate their results to engineering and applied science concepts. They make predictions on the flow rate of a nearby river in their local community.

In this math worksheet, students solve the problems that are correlated with the objectives. Each practice set has an in depth example.

Students use the metric system to convert equations. They use a conversion table to change from metric units to the units they are more comfortable with (Fahrenheit temperatures, miles, quarts, pounds.) Students use algebraic equations...

Students collect and graph data. In this statistics lesson, students analyze their plotted data using a scatter plot. They identify lines as having positive, negative or no correlation.

Pupils collect data from tossing a ball into the air. Using a data collection device, they graph the data, set a window, and analyze the height of the toss, how long the ball was in the air, etc. They then find an equation that models...

Census-takers view the Internet to find the total population of a city and its total land area. They work with different mathematical scenarios that involve populations and land area in their city. They complete math problems and unit...

Students discover the relationships of the lengths of the sides of right triangles and right triangles using a series of drawings on dot paper. They investigate and solve problems of standard (customary and metric units) and non-standard...

Complete identity and equality property problems in hands-on activities. Smart cookies identify the identity and equality properties. They complete a review of order of operations, watch an online video, and make a foldable with the...

Fifth graders investigate data from maps to solve problems. In this data lesson, 5th graders study maps and collect data from each map. Students present their data in a variety of ways and calculate the mode, mean, median, and range.
