Students calculate unit rates with fractions and whole numbers. In this algebra lesson, students compare numbers, perform long division, and calculate the rate of different units through conversions. They model some of the problems as...

Students solve linear equations and graph the different functions. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph piecewise functions using the slope and y-intercept and the given restrictions on the domain of the line. They discuss rate of...

Students calculate the rate of change. In this algebra lesson, students identify the slope and discuss the different properties of lines as they relate to rate. A discuss doubling time, zero slope and being in two places at once.

Tenth graders draw, label, plot and locate points on a coordinate plane. In this geometry instructional activity, 10th graders define a coordinate plane and identify the different quadrants. They relate coordinate plane to the game of...

Students solve equations using absolute values and roots. In this algebra activity, students solve equations and write their solution on a number line. They solve for x as it relates to distance or absolute values. They order roots on a...

Students make a table and plot their data on a graph. In this algebra lesson, students graph piecewise functions using the given equations along with the restricted domain. They calculate the rate of change.

Ninth graders graph linear functions using coordinate points. In this algebra lesson, 9th graders plot points and graph a line. They use the slope intercept form to graph their equation and evaluate points as solution to the function.

Students graph scenarios values by making a table. In this algebra lesson, students rewrite word problems using algebraic symbols. They make a table of the data, make a graph and analyze the data to extrapolate.

Students make a table and graph plotting points. In this algebra lesson, students graph linear equations on a coordinate plane. They calculate the rate of change and analyze the graph for extrapolation.

Students calculate rate of change and graph linear functions. In this algebra lesson students write linear functions, make a table of points and graph their data on a coordinate plane. They calculate the rate of change of a graph.

Students discuss animal needs and characteristics. In this animal mini-unit, students complete three activities studying different animals, their needs, how they have evolved, and how to protect them.

Learners plant daffodil bulbs. In this gardening activity, students work outside to plant daffodil bulbs in the autumn so that they can grow roots and emerge by spring.

Second graders define composting and recognize what can be composted.  For this composting and mulching lesson, 2nd graders classify objects or pictures as good or bad for composting. Students write a story about life in the compost...

Young scholars make plant pots out of newspaper as part of a recycle, reuse, and reduce lesson. In this recycling lesson, students fold a piece of newspaper to make a pot in which to start plants. They fill it with compost and plant seeds.

Middle and high schoolers construct a triangle using Cabri Jr. They construct squares on each of the legs and hypotenuse of the triangle. Pupils show that the area of the squares on the leg equal the area of the square on the hypotenuse.

Tenth graders investigate dilations and explore the dilation transformation before investigating the properties of a dilation using Cabri Jr. Young scholars extend the concept of dilatation to the coordinate plane.

To illuminate how afterimage occurs, create a star, square, or other geometric-shaped light for learners to look at for 30 seconds. Then, have them explain what they see as they shift their focus to a blank wall. A full explanation of...

Students collect height versus time data of a bouncing ball using the CBR 2™ data collection device. Using a quadratic equation they graph scatter plots, graph and interpret a quadratic function, apply the vertex form of a quadratic...

Through the examination of the relationship between the lengths of the sides of a triangles high schoolers will learn the classification of triangles (acute, right, or obtuse).

Logical thinking is at the forefront of this jam-packed lesson, with young mathematicians not only investigating geometric concepts but also how they "know what they know". Through each activity and worksheet, learners wrestle with...

Access a wealth of rich, engaging activities that will allow learners to see through the eyes of Anne Frank and experience her emotional journey as they read her biography The Diary of a Young Girl.

Not all variables are created equal. Discover how variables in computer science are different from variables in math class. Scholars learn to work with variables in computer programming by developing a mental model for how variables...

Eighth graders examine the usefulness of a line of best fit by collecting and graphing data, using a graphing calculator to determine the line of best fit, and making a variety of predictions. They watch a video, then design a...

Using the provided worksheets, high schoolers solve equations involving factoring and finding square roots. At the conclusion of the lesson, they discuss the answers and any difficulty experienced in solving the equations.
