Students develop the concept of supply and demand. In this economics lesson, students listen to a lecture and take notes on supply and demand. Students create a coherent set of notes about supply and demand.

Students explore the concept of running a business. In this running a business instructional activity, students put their plan of action into practice. Students market a product and try to maximize profit.

Students construct spreadsheets from raw data. In this spreadsheet construction lesson, students compile data into Microsoft Excel. Students familiarize themselves with entering and presenting data in a spreadsheet.

Students investigate the reasons for taking a census and determine the problems that are involved in the process. They examine the population figure for Montana and Lake county before using the information to complete the included...

Students explore the concept of graphing data. For this graphing data lesson, students determine the percentage of sugar in bubble gum. Students graph type of gum vs. sugar percentage. Students create a table of their data.

Students explore the concept of finding the composition of seawater.  In this finding the composition of seawater instructional activity, students make a saturated salt water solution.  Students discuss why there is variation...

Students practice simple addition and subtraction. They identify relationships among whole numbers.

The purpose of this lesson is to help students apply math concepts of solving systems of equations to real life situations. The students will use the three methods of graphing, substitution, and elimination to solve the system of...

As a hands-on lesson, the young scholars 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...

Using a 'news report' approach, students investigate the slope of various stairways on the school campus and report on wheelchair accessibility and adherence to the Americans with Disabilities Act. (PowerPoint Included) An extension of...

Learners will work in small groups to analyze a topographical map of the Fiery Gizzard hiking trail on the Cumberland Plateau in southeastern Tennessee. They will use the map key to determine distance traveled and elevation gained to...

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 instructional activity uses graphing to help young scholars 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...

The purpose of this lesson is to help students see the real world application of slope. The students will view a movie clip of slope, calculate the slope of stairs in the school building, and analyze results.This lesson plan was created...

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 students will work together and independently to find the solutions to systems of...

In this lesson, the students will learn what a ratio is and how it can be used in a comparison. In this lesson, students will also determine how to combine a sports drink in powder form and water to make enough for a whole football team....

This strategy for factoring trinomials will eliminate the trial-and-error method used in most textbooks.The lesson will be a direct teaching lesson. With the teacher lecturing and the students taking notes and then having the students...

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...

A collection of video lectures from a course reviewing linear algebra with applications to networks, structures, and estimation. Webpage includes thirty-six lectures from a professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Lectures...

The goal of this lesson is for students to use manipulatives to add integers, creating concepts rather than memorizing rules. This lesson will be related to the 300 Spartans who battled the invading Persians at the Battle of Thermopylae,...

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...
