One-to-one means the answer is simple, right? Given four graphs, pupils use a vertical line to test each graph to find out if they are one-to-one. By using the resource, learners realize that not all one-to-one relations are functions....

Two-variable equations can express a constant rate situation. The lesson presents several constant rate problems. Pupils use the stated constant rate to create a linear equation, find values in a table, and graph the points. The resource...

Scholars connect slope-intercept form and standard form to the values of m and b by first matching a set of cards that have slope-intercept form, standard form, values of m, values of b, and graphs of linear equations. They then play a...

Round and round we go. Learners first complete a task on writing equations of circles. They then take part in a collaborative activity categorizing a set of equations for circles based on the radius and center.

Teach teenagers to think critically about data. Young data analysts must create two questions that can be answered using a provided data set on Olympic cycling times. Of course, they then have to answer their questions using mathematics.

Cell size is limited by the surface area to volume ratio, but why is this true? Scholars measure the surface area and volume of cubes before placing them into liquid. After a set amount of time, they measure the uptake by diffusion for...

Logos just make a club seem more fun. Scholars incorporate knowledge from previous lessons in the unit to write a computer program in the Scratch block-based language. Their program should help design a logo for the CS First studio. A...

A painting is worth a thousand words—in a different world! Lucy and Edmund sail away into Narnia using a picture of a ship at sea. The story tells of their adventures and the islands they visit. Scholars work through activities about the...

How do you solve for an unknown angle? In this sixth installment of a 36-part series, young mathematicians use concepts learned in middle school geometry to set up and solve linear equations to find angle measures.

Young hopefuls can practice finding the average of a group of numbers represented in tables and word problems. 

It's one thing to be able to read a pie graph, but it's another to analyze a pie graph and match it to its data table. Use a multiple choice worksheet when challenging learners to practice this skill. With six...

Monopolies may have an advantage in some markets, but what are they? A scaffolded problem set examines the effects monopolies have on a market. Other authentic College Board problems examine labor markets and how a variety of factors...

In statistics, probability rules—literally! Learners use their previous knowledge and explore a set of rules for conditional probability, independent probability, and complements. Given different scenarios, they must determine what type...

Students match match one notice with one child for all children in their group. They will determine the correct number of notices needed by for the children in their group. Through activities, students discover one-to-one correspondence...

How fast can your scholars complete 70 multiplication problems from the six times table? They only have to multiply by numbers 1-10, so there are many repeats. Consider setting a goal time or setting up a personal goal system for...

Review the 7's times tables how they relate to division, fractions, problems solving, and using a chart. Basic problem solving strategies are encouraged for each set of different problems.

Students explore characteristics of shapes by making and using tangram sets. They discover how the tangram pieces are related to one another, and determine how many different combinations of the triangles, squares, and parallelograms in...

Students watch video, "When It's More Than Burgers - Dining Etiquette at its Best," practice proper table setting according to rules of etiquette, demonstrate acceptable eating styles and table manners while serving and eating mock meal,...

Learners create a table in Microsoft Word. In this word processing lesson plan, students create a table in Microsoft Word. They fill this table in as if it were a BINGO card, but they use their vocabulary words instead of numbers.

For this multiplication grid worksheet, students practice multiplication by 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10. Students are timed in filling out a multiplication table grid.

What's in a name? Pupils create a data set based on the number of letters in classmates' names. Each group then uses the data to create a visual representation, such as a histogram, circle graph, or stem-and-leaf plot.

Learn how to display data. Young data analysts watch a video to review how to create cumulative frequency histograms and box plots. They work on a set of questions to practice producing these data displays.  

Class members explore how to read and use histograms by watching a video on creating and analyzing histograms. To finish, the class works on a set of questions that tests these skills.

Every topic under the sun is covered in this New York State Regents High School Examination. With an earth science focus, participants answer 85 questions about the solar system, geologic time, rocks and minerals, landforms, and more! An...
