Getting the best pick of the apples depends on where to pick. The short assessment presents a situation in which class members must analyze a real-world situation to determine the cost of picking apples. The pricing structures resemble...

Writing an equation of a line is as easy as m and b. A lesson presentation gives individuals different strategies for writing equations of lines. Some items provide a slope and a point while others provide two points. Whatever the given,...

Do you view proofs as an essential geometric skill? The resource builds on an understanding of dilations by proving the Dilation Theorem of Segments. Pupils learn to question and verify rather than make assumptions. 

Determine the right mix of cans of cat food. The resource consists of an assessment task to determine the cost to feed two cats for a specific number of days and requires scholars to interpret remainders within a context....

Tune in for savings! Scholars investigate pricing schemes for two different online music download sites. After comparing the two, they determine the numbers of songs for which each site would be cheaper.

Rewrite a quadratic function to easily see the transformations involved. The instructional task takes a general quadratic function and rewrites it into a form that shows the translations and scaling of the parent quadratic function. The...

Assess the ability of the class to solve percent problems with an assessment that covers a variety of percent problems from basic to multi-step. Pupils make connections between percent problems and proportional thinking to complete...

How does something go from here to there? Describe it with a transformation. Young mathematicians learn how to translate, reflect, rotate, and dilate an image. 

Consistency is the key. One lemon wedge per glass of water makes a nice glass of lemonade. Young scholars must identify the number of lemon wedges they need to make the same lemonade in a big gulp cup. They develop their own...

Fourth graders design their own letter graph, and then produce the resulting graphs after a translation, reflection, and rotation. After a review of vocabulary, 4th graders create their graphs using crayons.

Students use a professional basketball team's data and graph it on a coordinate plane. They draw a line of regression and finding its equation. They access a website containing statistics for the Houston Rockets basketball team to solve...

Seventh graders find constellation distances and plot the stars. In this star lesson, 7th graders plot the star points for Canis Major. Students use graphing calculators to graph the constellation. Students choose another constellation...

Students solve quadratic equations and identify the vertex. In this algebra lesson, students factor quadratic equations and identify the different properties of a parabola. They graph the functions using the vertex and intercepts.

Students identify symmetry and create their own frog design. Students apply hand-eye coordination in placing their designs of cross-stitch netting. Students identify with new textures. Students present and analyze their design once...

Students create a list of products with estimated prices. In this algebra lesson, students learn to write equations using variables. They match their created list with that of actual products and compare their prices,

Eighth graders experiment with building bridges of spaghetti, pennies, and a cup to determine how varying the number of spagetti pieces affects the strength of the bridge. They graph their results and interpret the data.

In this algebra worksheet, students identify the solution to rational expressions. They solve word problems using the correct formula and equation set up. There are 10 questions with a bonus.

In this interval worksheet, students identify the largest interval for a given situation.   They explore and explain functions, their derivative, relative maximum, and relative minimum.  Students graph functions and...

Students calculate the distance and velocity over time. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph a linear function to represent the distance vers time travel. They interpret their graphs and draw conclusion.

Students observe a pendulum and graph their observation. In this algebra instructional activity, students use the TI calcualtor to graph the motion the pendulum makes. They analyze the graph and make predictions.

Students investigate and solve Pythagorean triples. In this geometry lesson, students find the missing sides and angles of a right triangle. They graph right triangles and move the sides around to create different angles.

Eleventh graders study osteoporosis and understand the relationship between calcium and bone mass.  In this investigative lesson students participate in an activity in which they graph and construct basic bone biology.

Students collect data on population growth. In this statistics instructional activity, students graph their data and make predictions. They find the linear regression and the best fit line.

In this math worksheet, students will work independently to trace a stencil on an x-axis. Then students will follow a procedure to trace the image on the horizontal line of reflection. Students will observe that reflections and rotations...
