Investigation of a nomograph teaches students to determine the rule of a function by examining the input and output values.  Students use a nomograph on their Ti-Nspire to determine the function rule.  Students make a scatter...

Learners use sliders to change the parameters of functions and examine how shifting parameters affects a graph. They identify the parameters of functions, find vertical and horizontal stretches, then calculate the scale factor and other...

Middle schoolers explore tessellations and the artwork of M.C. Escher. They view and discuss a video about M.C. Escher, create a slide template out of cardboard, and create a poster with their tessellation pattern.

Learners relate polynomials to a rollercoaster track as they translate a graph around on a coordinate plane. They differentiate between different forms of algebraic expressions.

Fifth graders use the Internet to learn about translations, reflections and rotations. Students access the Transmographer program on the Internet, where they practice what they have learned. Students also complete a worksheet.

Students perform an experiment which simulates what happens inside an internal combustion engine. They explain how the chemical reaction they witnessed is similar to what happens inside the car engine.

Third graders use pattern blocks of one shape at a time to try to create a similar shape. They compare the perimeter of the new figure with the perimeter of the original shape and look for a pattern. Students use the pattern to predict...

High schoolers explore and discuss hurricanes, and examine how meteorologists, weather officers, and NASA researchers use measurement and data analysis to predict severe weather. They plot points on coordinate map, classify hurricanes...

Using this short review of finding a percentage of a number, learners can practice important skills. There are twelve questions on this activity.

Students simulate strike slip faults using CEENBoTs. In this earth science lesson plan, students identify the fault lines and tectonic plates on a world map. They label the different parts of a fault line.

Students read the book "Caps for Sale." Students model reading a sentence and using one color cap and the color word (written in its color). They match the color word (written in its color) to the correct color hat.

Students fine tune their communication skills to include expressing the ideas of others, as well as their own opinions. They must practice a number of times before feeling comfortable using them in every day conversations.

Seventh graders discuss how energy is transformed from one form to another. For this physics lesson, 7th graders design and build their own hydro generator. They identify the factors that affect its energy production.

Students explore a new home and design some of its electrical features. They construct a model of the electrical features and consider accessibility for the handicapped into the room. In groups, students analyze the advantages and...

Learners work collaboratively to design and construct a roof out of Legos for a house that was built in a previous lesson. The roof must be structurally sound and pass certain criteria determined by the teacher.

In this communicating the nature of situations worksheet, learners complete a graphic organizer with details regarding how they and their partners would deal with the 8 situations described.

Students use a ball to push and pull to demonstrate the concept of force. In this force lesson plan, students talk about the importance of force in space and use balls to demonstrate this phenomena.

Students answer short answer questions, state their likes and dislikes, say what roles they have, and more about themselves. In this all about me lesson plan, students read books about how we are all different and the same.

Students trace back through time to see how the nutritional value of food consumed was enhanced.  In this nutrients lesson students complete several activities that show the mass of food, and its PH value.

Eleventh graders investigate the practice of child labor as found in the history of the United States. The teacher reads the class a story from the year of 1914. This creates context for the lesson and then students answer teacher...

Learners investigate the rigid motions of reflection, rotation, translation, and dilation. This investigation be accomplished through classroom instruction and exploration using Geometer's Sketchpad.

Students identify shapes and manipulate 2 and 3 dimensional objects. They view objects from different perspectives and review relative positions (near, far, between). They sing a shape song.

High schoolers think about several of the concepts from fractals, including recursion and self similarity. They use mathematical concepts of line segments, perimeter, area and infinity are used, and skill at pattern recognition is...
