Students investigate circles using a BMX path. In this circles lesson, students use technology of various kinds to create a BMX track. They use Moodle to develop their lesson and as they investigate the area and perimeter of a circle....

Students complete rolling stocks experiment, and collect and enter data on the computer. They enter data on graphing calculators, complete scatter plot by hand with line of best fit, and discuss different graphing methods.

Pupils graph the factors of a quadratic as linear equations and graph the parabolic equation in factored form. Also, they investigate the relationship between the x-intercepts of the lines and the zeros of the parabola.

Students, while in the computer lab, assess how to use Microsoft Excel as a "graphing calculator." They view visual representations of line graphs in a Cartesian plane while incorporating basic skills for using Excel productively.

Students are able to identify the characteristics of a variety of graphs (i.e. bar graph, line graph, pie graph, scatter plot, population pyramids, etc.) They recognize how the type of data to be presented plays a role in choosing the...

Sixth graders estimate angle measures and angle theroms. In this online interactive geometry lesson, 6th graders review types of angles, investigate angle theroms, and explore nonadjacent angles.

Sixth graders experiment with mean, median, and mode. In this online interactive mean, median, and mode lesson, 6th graders analyze the results of multiple experiments and after they work in groups completing the median, mode, and mean...

Students explore biome data. In this world geography and weather data analysis instructional activity, students record data about weather conditions in North Carolina, Las Vegas, and Brazil. Students convert Fahrenheit degrees to Celsius...

Students define and graph properties of linear equations. In this algebra lesson plan, students write systems of equations to represent functions. They relate linear equations to the real world.

Budding mathematicians graph polynomial functions and examine their zero and y-intercepts. They analyze how the zero and y-intercepts of the numerator and denominator affect the graph of a rational function. Several great additional...

Learners use technology to determine the shortest between two points in a plane. They are required to support their analytic explanations with visual illustrations.

In this online percentages worksheet, students access the Library of Virtual Manipulatives web site and open the percentage tool. They use the online tool to complete 8 multi-step questions making graphical representations and finding...

In this shapes and designs worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 6 different types of problems. First, they fill in the first two columns of the table show with their shapes. Then, students measure the interior angles of each...

Learners calculate the perimeter of rectangles and squares. They imagine trying to build a fence around a yard or trying to determine how much paint they need to paint a room. They also develop formulas and procedures for determining the...

Desert regions are hotter for multiple reasons; the lack of vegetation causes the sun's heat to go straight into the surface and the lack of moisture means none of the heat is being transferred into evaporation. This concept, and other...
