Pupils practice plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane, see several categories of functions, including lines and parabolas, and read a graph, answering questions about the situation described by the graph

Eighth graders engage in an experiment which uses an inclined plane and balls of various masses to determine the effect a large object has on a small object. They study velocity, momentum, gravity and forces.

Tenth graders have been introduced to the concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation, and have practiced translating, reflecting, and rotating two-dimensional objects on the coordinate plane.

Learners show reflection, translation and rotation of a simple coordinate graph picture which they have created.

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. Students explore the concept of tessellations and lines, planes, angles, and polygons. Students experiment with the area and perimeter of polygons. Students analyze...

Learners are introduced to the concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation. They practice translating, reflecting, and rotating two-dimensional objects on the coordinate plane. students use computers to learn about the three concepts.

Students plot pairs of Cartesian coordinates on graph paper and connect points with straightedges. They examine the lines and determine if they are parallel or not by finding the equations of the lines and comparing the slopes. They...

In this machines worksheet, students review different types of simple machines including pulleys, wedges, levers, and inclined planes. This worksheet has 10 matching, 4 multiple choice, and 8 short answer questions.

Students calculate a toy car's velocity and acceleration. For this force and motion lesson, students build ramps and attach a dropper to a toy car, which is released down the ramp. Students calculate and graph velocity and acceleration...

Students study the life of Charles Lindbergh, one of the 20th century's most famous men. This aviator became an American hero when he successfully crossed the Atlantic in his plane, The Spirit of St. Louis.

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...

Students investigate and explain simple machines and their uses. Key concepts include: lever, screw, pulley, wheel and axle, inclined plane, and wedge.

Students investigate properties of lines and points by making a rover. In this algebra lesson plan, students plot points correctly on a coordinate plane. They identify coordinate pairs given the plots and lines.

Here is a lesson containing a great activity based on coordinates, and the perimeters of shapes created using a given set of coordinates. After youngsters creat a shape on a grid based on some coordinate pairs, they must identify which...

Vectors and their connection to motion. A video will be presented to provide information for the class to use methods of solving vectors with and without grids. Real-world physical concepts will be explored in reference to vectors.

Students gather leaves and trace them on graph paper. They plot coordinates that approximate the shape of the leaves and share those coordinates as "worksheets" for other students to complete.

In this algebra activity, students compute 4 functions for a given value. They graph 4 functions, and write equations for two graphs. Each function has an exponent as the variable.

In this angle worksheet, students identify angles and then determine the related angle. Examples are provided. This one-page worksheet contains 36 problems, with answers at the bottom of the page.

In this slope intercept form worksheet, students solve and graph 6 different problems that include identifying the slope and intercepts in each graph. First, they determine the line that has a given x-and y-intercept. Then, students find...

Learners 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...

In this line graph worksheet, students use data given in a table and assign axes, make a scale, plot data and make a line or curve on their constructed graphs.

In this systems of equations instructional activity, students solve systems of equations by graphing.  They identify the intercept of two lines.  This two-page instructional activity contains 12 multi-step problems. ...

Eighth graders construct various machines and compare the work done by them.
