The class takes a trip about the school and find four places to measure the rise and run of objects that represent slope in the building. Pairs work together to calculate the slope of each object and determine whether any ramp they find...

Learners develop a spreadsheet and import the information into a line graph. In this spreadsheet and line graph lesson plan, students develop a spreadsheet of ocean depths. They import the information into a word processed document. They...

Learners study a variety of math concepts in the context of cooking up a meal. In this math lesson, students calculate surface area and volume. They draw and interpret different types of graphs.

Students identify the slope of an equation using various methods. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph linear equations and calculate the slopes using the x and y intercept to solve the equations and graph the lines. They use the...

Predict the year that college costs will double in your state using linear modeling. The first part of this two-part project based learning activity asks young mathematicians to use data from the College Board. They graph the data,...

More people, more garbage! Young environmentalists graph population growth against the amount of garbage generated per year and find a linear model that best fits the data. This is an older resource that could benefit from more recent...

Students define slope, and practice finding the slope of lines through given points. They determine the angle of inclination. Students find the relationship between the slope and the tangent of the lines. Students determine special...

What is the financial benefit for attending a community college for the first two years before transferring to a four-year college? The second part of the educational lesson asks young scholars to explore this question through data...

Students investigate and solve linear equations using slopes. In this algebra instructional activity, students graph lines using the slope and y intercept. They also find the slope by rewriting their equation in to slope-intercept form...

Seventh graders play "What's my Rule" beginning with simple equations and working towards harder problems as student's gain confidence. They evaluate the equations by graphing them. Students identify the slope and y intercepts of the...

Tenth graders explore mathematics by participating in hands-on daily activities. Learners identify a list of different shapes and classify them by shape, size, sides and vertices. They utilize tangrams and geometric pieces to gain...

Question: What do rectangles and bathtub volume have in common? Answer: Linear equations. Learn how to identify situations that have constant rates by examining two different situations, one proportional and one not proportional.

Students analyze the sliding of boxes along a warehouse floor. In this algebra lesson, students connect math and physics by calculating the friction created by the sliding of each box. They develop faster method to move the box, based on...

Students draw a quick plan of an ocean floor as seen from the side; including the edge of a continent, a continental shelf, a continental slope, a basin, a trench, and a range. They require their definitions to do this.

Middle schoolers work together to create a model of the ocean floor. They practice using new vocabulary associated with the ocean floor as well. They share their model with the class.

Learners explore the Earth's crust by researching pH levels and acidity. In this environmental safety lesson, students identify the pros and cons of acidity within soil and how it affects plants. Learners collaborate in a pH level...

Students work together to build lego cars. They make predictions about how fast they believe the cars will go. They record their observations and discuss their results.
