Circles are the foundation of many geometric concepts and extensions - a point that is thoroughly driven home in this extensive unit. Fundamental properties of circles are investigated (including sector area, angle measure, and...

Where in the world are we? As a reading comprehension exercise, kids read a short passage about navigation using latitude and longitude, and then respond to a series of questions based on the article.

Many learners find completing the square the preferred approach to solving quadratic equations. Class members combine their skills of using square roots to solve quadratics and completing the square. The resource incorporates a...

What does slope have to do with lines? Pupils work with lines and determine the slope of the lines informally and with the slope formula. Groups use their knowledge to calculate the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines. They also...

Dinnertime on the African savanna is a highly choreographed event! Introduce young ecologists to the concept of niche partitioning through a hands-on activity. Pupils research animal behaviors and use data to develop an understanding of...

As an exercise in self-awareness and improvement, class members create a Conflict Shield listing 12 skills they believe are the most useful in conflict resolution. They then color the ones they have mastered while leaving uncolored those...

Help the class visualize operations with complex numbers with a lesson that formally introduces complex numbers and reviews the visualization of complex numbers on the complex plane. The fifth installment of a 32-part series reviews...

Define rays and half planes, including the concepts of boundary lines and prerequisite knowledge of coordinate planes. Given linear inequalities in one and two variables, your class will compare the differences. They will also graph...

Learners explore the concept of piecewise functions. In this piecewise functions lesson, students graph piecewise functions by hand and find the domain and range. Learners make tables of values given a piecewise function. Students write...

Students explore lines, rays, line segments, and planes. In this math lesson, students discuss the math concepts and direct their instructor in graphing functions. Students collaborate in graphing additional functions.

In this Calculus instructional activity, students use a graphing calculator to boost their understanding of functions and their graphs as they examine the properties of curves.  The forty-two page instructional activity contains one...

In this quadratic functions worksheet, students use their graphing calculators to solve the 9 problems on the page. The questions ask students to graph functions, compare graphs, find the vertex and axis of symmetry and more.

Young scholars use data from the Rossi X-ray Tiiming Explorer (RXTE) satellite to analyze and graph.

Students calculate the slope of a line. In this slope instructional activity, students use a graph, an equation or two points to help them calculate the slope of a line. They differentiate between a slope of zero and an undefined slope.

Pupils are introduced to lines, rays, line segments and planes. They explore the differences between lines, rays, line segments and planes. Students pracice graphing lines, rays, line segments and planes.

Students describe relations and graph linear functions. After studying a geometric shape and a verbal statement, students contrast the differences between the verbal statement and the picture. They determine functions and graph...

Students identify the types and characteristics of geometric figures. In this lighthouse geometric lesson plan, students review shapes that represent plane or solid.  They select items that could be used to construct a lighthouse...

In this algebra activity, students solve linear equations and plot their results on the coordinate plane. There are 20 problems using slopes and intercepts to help graph linear equations.

Open up your pupils' eyes and minds on dilations. Scholars perform dilations on a trapezoid on the coordinate plane. They compare the image to the preimage and develop generalizations about dilations.

Pupils collect and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, learners create a scatter plot from their collected data. They use, tables and graphs to analyze the data and mae decisions.

Your class can become linear equations masters, as they calculate the rate of change of a function. They observe different types of coordinates as they relate to a graph, then use the Ti-navigator to move the line around and draw...

Have learners use math to prove they are sports stars! Assess a pupil's ability to create and analyze data using a variety of graphs. The class will be motivated by the association of math and basketball data.

Students collect data from an experiment they perform. In this data lesson, students use multiple representations to solve practical problems; describe advantages and disadvantages of the use of each representation. Then, they evaluate...

For this candy activity, learners play the game Grab the Candy for Valentine's Day where they roll dice to find ordered pairs on a graph and place the candy inside that square. Students play until all candy is gone and use the scoring...
