Sixth graders investigate how heat is transferred and the concepts of conduction, convection, and radiation. They define key vocabulary terms, and observe teacher-led demonstrations of conduction, convection, and radiation.

Students work in small groups to illustrate a story board of a folktale. They develop the meaning of a trickster as a humor device in folktales by listening to several about Leprechauns and the Coyote of Native American tales. They then...

In this linear expressions activity, prealgebra pros solve and complete three different types of problems. First, they simplify several expressions as far as possible. Then, they match expressions to their simplified versions. Finally,...

In this the structure of DNA worksheet, students read a passage about the structure of DNA in bacteria and then relate that information to answer the questions given.

In this line symmetry worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 10 different problems that include various types of figures. First, they classify each figure illustrated as horizontal, vertical, both, or neither line of symmetry. Then,...

In this line reflections activity, 10th graders solve 10 different problems that include determining different line reflections in images. They identify the line reflections in each of the illustrations shown on the sheet. Then, students...

Students determine eigenvectors and eigenvalues for a matrix. Students diagonalize a matrix. Similar matrices are defined. Determinant formula is given for an degree n polynomial.

Students find backgrounds using the Internet. In this technology lesson, students use Google images to find backgrounds for their fairy tales. They copy the image onto a paint document. 

In this rational expression instructional activity, students graph rational equations, evaluate limits, state intercepts, asymptotes, and roots and factor.  This instructional activity is designed as a test to be completed with a...

In this online math worksheet, learners determine the translation of a point by utilizing the x and y coordinates. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties....

Investigate the results of multiple translations on an image. Scholars use vectors to perform a sequence of translations in the seventh lesson of 18. They examine the results and determine the importance of using a sequence rather than a...

The 14th lesson in the unit has the class prove the nine general cases of the geometric representation of complex number multiplication. Class members determine the modulus of the product and hypothesize the relationship for the...

Examine the process of rotating images to visualize effects of changes to them. The fifth lesson of 18 prompts pupils to rotate different images to various degrees of rotation. It pays special attention to rotations in multiples of 90...

Explore properties of addition as they relate to matrices. Using graphical representations of vector matrices, scholars test the commutative and associative properties of addition. They determine if the properties are consistent for...

Pupils multiply the vertical and horizontal distances from the center of dilation by the scale factor. The independent practice prompts the class to analyze the relationship between the image and pre-image. The lesson is...

Review for the test with a comprehensive list of terms and concepts for the unit on congruence and similarity. It divides divides the sections in the order of the lessons presented during the unit. 

How do humans get energy since they aren't mechanical and can't photosynthesize? Learners explore this question by relating potential energy in food to human energy levels. Scholars measure the change in mass and a change in...

After nine lessons and activities about energy, here is the final assessment. The 20-questions include multiple choice, multiple choice with justification, short answer, answer analysis, and labeling diagrams to challenge learners.

Young geologists piece together the puzzle of plate tectonics in an earth science lesson. Given a physical map of the world, they search for land formations that indicate the location of different types of plate boundaries.

Looking for higher-level thinking questions? This assessment provides questions that challenge young mathematicians to think and analyze rather than simply memorize. Topics include piecewise functions, linear modeling, exponential...
