Students review polar coordinates, as well as translations and rotations in Cartesian Coordinates. They also watch a video on conics and write a summary of the video for a quiz grade. Students then find an equation after a...

Eleventh graders investigate logarithms.  In this Algebra II instructional activity, 11th graders explore the properties of logarithms that are used to simplify expression and solve equations.  Students confirm their...

Students examine literary elements in non-fiction literature. In this problem solving instructional activity, students read Rosa Parks, My Story and Beyond the Limits. Students make oral presentations based on the causes and effects,...

Students jog for three minutes at the beginning of the class, increasing one minute per week for ten weeks. They count each lap as one mile on the Appalachian Trail, computing the class average and plotting their progress on a class map.

Students construct a bridge that can hold 100 pennies. In this math instructional activity, students evaluate the strength of their bridges. They predict how much weight a bridge can hold based on its design.

Pupils use the lab apparatus to calculate the average velocity and average acceleration at several points and record the data. They use the spreadsheets to plot distance vs. time, velocity vs. time and acceleration vs. time graphs.

Students study the nature of a satellite's orbit around the Earth.

Students examine the differences in exponential growth and linear growth of a system. They interpret data on graphs and develop their own charts. They answer discussion questions as well.

High schoolers determine the rate law for a chemical reaction. They use graphical techniques in the analysis of experimental data.

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

Students evaluate data from a statistical chart or graph which they find in a newspaper or magazine.

Young scholars manipulate a ball and explore quadratic functions. In this algebra instructional activity, students analyze the graph of a quadratic function. They identify quadratic properties.

Learners actively find the line of best fit. They gather their own data and then use a calculator to find the line of best fit, as well as the equation. They see how to use the TI 81 calculator in order to find the line of best fit.

Students select at least 6 cities from around the world to keep track of their high and low temperatures over a period of time.

Young scholars are placed in the position of the person who orders supplies for the ship. They calculate quantities required for a variety of items, and then to convert such quantities into dollars.

Students sort and graph numerical data using a spreadsheet.

High schoolers research the Cartesian Coordinate System and its many uses in the world of mathematics and algebra.

Students explore linear graphs, the parabola and the rectangular hyperbola.

High schoolers practice graphing quadratic equations. They work to solve and equation involving finding the vertex using given formulas. Once their points have been graphed, students determine the direction in which the angle opens....

In this calculus worksheet, students review topics they need to already understand in order to be successful in a basic calculus course. Topics include functions, linear equations, coordinate graphing, piece-wise formulation, exponents,...

In this energy, work and power activity, learners solve 12 problems about circuits, electric motors, Ohm's Law and electric currents.
