Pupils divide into small groups and study one of the three union flyers. Groups share their findings with the whole class and clarify unfamiliar vocabulary terms.

Students map an actual local waterway. They create full color scale drawings that include windfalls, plant cover, streambed composition, and landmarks such as trees, boulders, and slumps. This is a long-term project that involves...

For this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders use an online quadratic equation solver to find the zeros of a quadratic.  The one page interactive worksheet provides one worked example and the equation solver. 

Students use equations to represent practical situations. They solve linear equations and quadratic equations. The use of problem solving strategies is also developed.

For this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders use the quadratic formula to solve quadratic equations.  The interactive lesson contains explanation and worked examples with five practice problems.  Answers are not included. 

In this quadratic equation, students find the discriminant using the formula given and identify how many solutions a quadratic function will have. There are 3 problems with answers and examples.

In this Algebra I/Algebra II activity, students investigate the various methods that can be used to solve quadratic equations.  The one page interactive activity contains instruction, worked examples and five practice...

In this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders use the quadratic formula to solve quadratic equations.  The six page worksheet contains instruction on topic, worked examples and five practice problems.  Answers are not provided. 

In this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders use the discriminant to determine the nature of the roots of a quadratic equation, determine the best method to use when solving a quadratic, and practice using the quadratic formula to...

Students are introduced to the problem. They brainstorm ideas for approaching the problem and keeping track of what has been done. Students work on the problem in pairs to discover what strategies might help to find the answer.

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

First graders recall and verbally list the parts of a dog, or a chosen subject, based on observations using the senses. They discriminate between living and non-living subjects, and create artistic representations of the parts of a dog.

Second graders draw a picture of a pond scene which includes various animals. They exchange pictures and tally the number of animals drawn. Then they record the number on a chart and write a story about their pictures.

Students each have a turn, telling the class his or her favorite pet. The choices are cat, dog, fish or bird. Using the computer, the information from the tally be recorded on a spreadsheet and bar graph.

First graders identify basic shapes (circle, square, rectangle, triangle) and describes the attributes of each. They use magazines to find examples of each shape, and then make a collage.

This unit encourages students to assess the validity of a set of statements and then plan and carry out investigations to find out whether the statements are true. Students then carry out statistical investigations of their own.

Students participate in a discussion about the different types of timepieces and the energy sources necessary to run them. They observe the numbers on a clock and review the hands and what they mean and make individual clocks using a...

Students find the different ratios of a right triangle. In this geometry lesson, students apply the concept of the Pythagorean theorem as they identify the different angles and parts of a Unit Circle. They find the ratios of sine,...

Students, in groups, classify furniture, share their categories and rationales, then note how their different schemes vary, perfectly logical and useful, but completely arbitrary.

Students form a repeating pattern using shoe colour (eg., white, brown, white, brown). Without knowing what pattern they are using ask the students to join the line if they think that they could be the 5th member of the pattern. Ask them...

Students use the internet to find pen pals to share in their weather experiment. Individually, they research the high and low temperatures for cities within the United States and email the results to their pen pal. They also develop a...

Fourth graders predict, observe, and compare what happens when a force is applied to an object. In this forces lesson, 4th graders complete a 'swinging hammer' activity to learn about forces and motion.

Students examine their home and calculates the amount of ventilation found. They also compute the surface area of different objects. They determine what is needed to reduce the amount of radon entering the home.

Students complete an experiment in which they measure the radon level in their home. They examine the different types of units of measurement and practice using them throughout the activity. They calculate surface area on objects as well.
