Fifth graders examine the role of bridges in commerce and transportation. They create a schedule for building a bridge and how much money it would take to build one.

Sixth graders study about alternate energy sources and discuss with their neighbor how alternative energy sources affect environmental conditions so that an entire species could be affected.

Students explore the concept of graphing data. In this graphing data activity, students determine the percentage of sugar in bubble gum. Students graph type of gum vs. sugar percentage. Students create a table of their data.

Students estimate and compute with rational numbers. They compare, order and convert among fractions, decimals and percents. Students analyze problems to determine if there is sufficient or extraneous data to solve.

Students analyze a graph representing college tuition increases, consider the possible causes and consequences of these tuition increases and collect data on tuition changes at colleges in the United States by region and graph the data.

Pupils explore the concept of managing money. In this managing money lesson, students discuss how to write checks and keep an accurate check registry. Pupils discuss the importance and uses of debit cards and deposit forms.

Students investigate the plan of a community water management plan. They are given the roles of community members who are involved in a meeting to discuss the development of a plan to conserve water and preserve resources of water.

Fifth graders investigate the use of water as a resource that needs to be conserved. They practice the skill of water conservation by taking a home survey of water usage and modify the use in order to decrease the wasting of water.

In this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders investigate matrix multiplication. The two page worksheet includes instructions and examples and two problems. Solutions are included.   

This article focuses on the structure of costs in the short run; some costs are fixed, so you can't do anything about them. It includes a questions.

Practice what you have learned about the difference between marginal cost, average variable cost, and fixed costs in this four-question exercise.

This economics lesson explores what influences producers to supply in regard to demand. It examines fixed and variable costs, how such costs can be reduced, and how they influence production. Includes printable worksheets.

In the long run, you can change anything about your business, so all costs are variable.

Students will be able to make economically sound purchasing decisions by using unit pricing, calculating discounts, and analyzing fixed and variable costs.

This lesson provides a good outline for a unit on the study of "production costs". Charts and graphs are provided to help understand a firm's cost curves, and at what level of production they should produce.

In this activity, learners perform breakeven analysis using the cost and revenue of an enterprise. They will determine the relationship between fixed and variable costs, profits, pricing policy, and the volume of output.

In a previous lesson we learned about price elasticity of demand, but there are many other types of elasticity that measure how agents respond to variables other than the change in a good's price. Two of these are Cross Price Elasticity...

In this lesson, students investigate the variables that contribute to the cost of gasoline. They learn that while OPEC nations do influence the price of oil and thus the price of gasoline, other factors also influence the price.

Simulation where learners apply mathematics and economics concepts in the lemonade business. Learners set up a virtual lemonade stand and must determine production costs, product variables, and profits. Students record data collected on...
