Learners solve problems with direct variation. In this algebra lesson, students analyze graphs to figure out the direct variation of a line. They observe the slopes based the steepness of the lines.

Take some time to reflect on graphing. Learners count a point's distance from the line of reflection to create reflections of geometric figures. Given the rules for four basic lines of reflections, pupils determine the points to create...

In this energy, work and power learning exercise, learners solve 12 problems about circuits, electric motors, Ohm's Law and electric currents.

Eighth graders examine the relationship between speed, time and distance.  In this motion lesson students complete a lab activity that allows them to calculate average speed. 

In this math worksheet, students investigate how time is related to the concept of increasing or decreasing velocity. Then they consider times and answer the questions of whether the velocity is changing.

Slow and steady wins the race? In the assessment task, scholars calculate the rates at which different snails travel in order to find the fastest snail. Hopefully, your class will move much more quickly in finishing the task!

Students use LOGAL motion detector probe and observe a generated graph as a student performs various standard motions, and make measurements of time and distance. They suggest various time and distance measurements which a student can...

For this secondary mathematics learning exercise, high schoolers collect data based on a person’s motion. From this data, learners create graphs comparing displacement, velocity, and acceleration to time. The five-page learning exercise...

Learners solve quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson, students factor and graph quadratic functions. they use the properties of quadratics to calculate the distance.

In this differentiated whole-group activity worksheet, students list all the places they visited over the summer, record the places on a flip chart, calculate the distances on a road map and graph the data they collect.

Students experience work and power and observe the process of entropy. For this physics lesson, students conduct an experiment that shows work (force & distance), power (work/time), and exemplifies the process of entropy.

Young scholars complete time and distance problems. Using appropriate problem solving strategies, students determine when a helicopter will catch a cruise ship. Young scholars write a summary of their solution process. They complete a...

Use coordinate grid paper to plot points and identify shapes that are already plotted on the paper by saying their coordinates. Pupils also measure the distance between points and play the game Battleship. There are several web links and...

Archery is believed to be one of the oldest sports in the world at more than 25,000 years old—meaning it can teach your classes a lot! Scholars learn about the forces interacting in the archery simulation. They control the archer's...

Fifth graders study how to measure distance.  In this graphing motion lesson students complete a lab activity that shows them on the computer how to make graphs. 

Students calculate the distance between two points. For this geometry lesson, students use coordinates and the distance formula to find the distance. They perform an interactive lesson to solve the missing length.

In this using graphs worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 6 different types of problems. First, they determine how the transformation shown moves the graph. Then, students find the interval that is defined given the coordinates....

Students calculate the speed and length of parts of the robot. In this algebra lesson, students measure the length of robots legs. They calculate the time it takes the robot to travel a specific distance.
