Elementary schoolers use a function machine in order to help them look at the relationship between input and output, and to look at the rule for the change. The machine is actually a cardboard box, and it serves quite well for the...

Connect the dots to graph a linear function. Young mathematicians use an interactive to first plot provided points on a coordinate plane. They connect these points with a line and then answer questions about the slope and y-intercept of...

Students read the novel, The Time Machine, and compare H.G. Well's perceptions of the future with those presented in The Third Wave, by Alvin Toffler. They research current scientific and mathematical theories that relate to space and time.

Real-life mathematics is not as simple as repeating a set of steps; pupils must mentally go through a process to come to their conclusions. Teach learners to read, analyze, and create a plan for solving a problem situation. The...

Need lessons on writing and solving one- and two-step linear equations and inequalities, as well as systems of equations? This comprehensive 106-page module from the Georgia Department of Education contains many different lessons for a...

Let there be light. The last installment of a seven-part series has pupils conduct an experiment on light attenuation through different numbers of transparency sheets. They then relate the results back to how X-rays measure bone density.

There's no restriction to how much your class can learn about domain and range. Users of an interactive adjust the radius of a circle to see its effects on the area. They note how restrictions in the domain (radius) relate to...

It's test time! Determine your class's understanding of the topics of volume and cross sections with a thorough assessment on volume, area, and geometric shapes.

Third graders describe, represent and compare fractions using pieces of a chocolate bar.  In this fractions lesson, 3rd graders demonstrate how to read and write fractions correctly. Students then integrate technology by using...

Students play a math game to gain a better understanding of fractions after visiting the American Revolution in the Time Machine. Students attempt to purchase pies from a local farmer. Students use sheets of paper to show knowledge of...

How accurate are robots? Groups draw lines by moving robots backwards and forwards by one rotation of the wheels. Using the appropriate formula, they determine the percent error in the length of the lines in relation to the calculated...

Learners create calendars. In this technology skills lesson, students collaborate to prepare calendars that include special days of the year as well as digital photograph collages.

Students explore what butgeting means. In this mathematics lesson, students determine that certain things need to be part of a budget like food and clothing by answering real-life types of questions on whether one should save money and...

Hammer away at building different types of functions. An engaging lesson builds on learners' knowledge of domain and range to create an understanding of composite functions. Young scholars learn to write composite functions...

In this algebraic equation worksheet, students read a story problem. They write algebraic equations and solve for the unknown. Students also use a guess and check table to solve problems. This one-page worksheet contains three story...

In this experiment worksheet, 5th graders study 5 examples and their outcomes. Students then respond to 8 questions, completing the responses to outcomes and probability.

Students examine the differences in exponential growth and linear growth of a system. They interpret data on graphs and develop their own charts. They answer discussion questions as well.

In this function worksheet, students describe a function and write six different ways a function may be modeled. This two-page worksheet contains eight problems.

Pupils manipulate negative and positive numbers. In this integers lesson plan, students move through three activities exploring negative and positive whole numbers. A number line, cardboard function representation, and solving...
