In this quadratic applications worksheet, students complete graphs, charts, comparison charts, and more having to do with quadratic equations. Students complete 5 different activities.

Find the faster rate. The resource tasks the class to compare proportional relationships represented in different ways. Pupils find the slope of the proportional relationships to determine the constant rates. They then analyze the...

Many have played with seed helicopters at one time or another. Learners use paper to create their own helicopters to model the Linden seed. After a discussion of seed dispersal, they take their models outside, let them go, and make...

Students calculate elapsed time and look for patterns.

Young scholars experiment to discover the relationship between the stretch of a spring and the amount of weight attached to the spring using Skittles. They use a CBR and a graphing calculator to gather data.

Students identify the slope of a line as negative, positive, zero or undefined. In this algebra lesson, students identify the distance versus the time using graphs of linear equation. They use the robot and the CEENBoT program to...

Young scholars calculate the inverse variation, and speed given the formulas. In this algebra lesson, students investigate properties of conics, focusing on the hyperbola. They identify the distance between the directrix and other...

In this motion worksheet, students compare two graphs showing a bug's distance traveled over time. Students calculate the average speed of the bugs and determine which bug was traveling at a constant speed. This worksheet has 1 short...

Seventh graders investigate velocity and speed. In this Vernier Probe lesson, 7th graders will use probes to calculate motion, speed, and velocity of an object. They will create a graph of their collected data.

Students investigate earthquakes by examining chart data.   In this disasters lesson plan, students identify the waves that are recorded when an earthquake arises by reading sample graphs in class.  Students participate in...

Students perform unit conversion. In this algebra lesson, students calculate the distance and speed of a solar car. They graph their result as speed versus distance and analyze it.

Students investigate how Global Positioning Systems work and how and why GPS receivers make errors. They graph data points and apply estimation and prediction to real-life GPS situations, discuss time delay, and complete a worksheet.

In this algebra instructional activity, students identify the graph that goes with-the equation. They solve word problems using graphs. There are 4 problems with an answer key.

In this averages worksheet, students complete word problems about the averages about grocery bills, hospital stays, graphs, and more. Students complete 10 problems.

Students bring in their favorite stuffed animals to class, and listen to the book, The Perfect Pet. They develop graphs for their stuffed animals, and create booklets titled, My Pet Book.

In this transit problem activity, students read clues about bus stops and their routes.  They determine the time between stops and the shortest path possible.  This one-page activity contains 1 multi-step problem.  The...

In this math worksheet, students examine the position of an object and then use the formulas to determine its path over time. Then they apply the information in order to determine the traveling path of an asteroid in space.

In this successive approximations worksheet, students use the Babylonian algorithm to determine the roots of given numbers. They identify the limits of a function, and compute the rate of change in a linear function. This two-page...

Students determine how the slope affects the graph of a line. They relate "b" to the "y"-intercept of a line and solve the equation of a line given "m" and "b." They are given scenarios and possible answers to which they explain why or...

High schoolers examine the velocities of two different falling objects. They produce distance vs. time and velocity vs. time graphs using a Motion Detector and a CBL 2 to collect experimental data. Learners analyze and interpret the...

Sixth graders apply the division and multiplication of decimals to convert dollars to various international currencies. In a travel simulation activity, they convert money, distance, and temperatures. During their "trip," students...

Young scholars write the equation of a circle. In this geometry instructional activity, students check the solution of a coordinate pair by evaluating them. They graph the circle given the equation and radius.

High schoolers explore the concept of quadrilaterals as they find the midsegments of quadrilaterals using Cabri Jr. on a graphing calculator. They find midpoints, slopes, angles, and distances of lines and angles.

Students discover the motion of a sphere on an inclined plane and discover basic relationships involving distance, time, speed(velocity), and acceleration.
