As a hands-on lesson plan, the students will recognize the correct usage of the order of operations. In groups, the students will work cooperatively to discover the importance of following step-by-step instructions and apply that...

Investigate finding the midpoint of a line segment and derive the formula for the midpoint of two points on a coordinate plane. This lesson plan was created by exemplary Alabama Math Teachers through the AMSTI project.

This lesson uses graphing to help students understand that pi is a constant and is the slope of the line graphed on a circumference vs. diameter graph.This lesson plan was created as a result of the Girls Engaged in Math and Science...

Students will participate in this discovery activity intended for them to uncover the role each variable plays in the graph of a line in the form y = mx + b. Students will actually demonstrate lines in slope intercept form on a life size...

This webpage discusses projections in vector space. The material is rather advanced. A clear understanding of Linear Algebra, the study of linear equations and their transformations, is required to understand this information.

This lesson is designed to review and reinforce three methods (graphing, substitution and elimination) of solving systems of linear equations. The learners will work together and independently to find the solutions to systems of...

Students explore electromagnetism and engineering concepts using optimization techniques to design an efficient magnetic launcher. Groups start by algebraically solving the equations of motion for the velocity at the time when a...

Is it any wonder that students are suspicious? We lead, sometimes drag, them through Algebra I insisting they must follow the order of operations. We make them learn the "hard way" of doing an assignment one day only to show them the...

Students will best fit equations to a curve to find the area of a logo or image. Images will include McDonalds, Nike, and the Motorola logo. This lesson plan was created as a result of the Girls Engaged in Math and Science, GEMS Project...
