Examine food labels to determine percentage of fat and sugar to total calories with middle schoolers. Daily nutritional guidelines are discussed and learners will decide how well their foods fit into a healthy diet. In the provided...

Geometers explore the concept of tessellations. They use a tessellation applet to manipulate shapes and design their own tessellation using the applet.

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.

Eighth graders follow the teacher as they enter information into the graphing calculator. They investigate different graphs to explain the slope of a line, the y intercept, and parallel lines.

Students answer the question, "What environmental problems arise due to animal and human overpopulation and what might need to be done to combat these problems?" They play games, graph data and write proposals about the question.

Students explore the concept of functions. For this function lesson, students determine if the graph is a function by using the vertical line test. Students use an applet to explore the vertical line test on a variety of graphs.

Ninth graders graph linear equations and inequalities in two variables and then, they write equations of lines and find and use the slope and y-intercept of lines. They use linear equations to model real data and define to define the...

Learners graph linear equations using intercepts, find y-intercept, find x-intercepts and graph linear equations that use horizontal and vertical lines.

Students interactively learn multimedia terminology while using the Alice Programming.  In this multimedia lesson students become the director of a movie or video game. 

Ninth graders identify and describe the x-intercept as the place where the line crosses the x-axis as it applies to football. They create their own differentiations to reinforce the distinction between the x-intercept and the...

Students derive the six trigonometric identities. In this trigonometry lesson, students review the parts of a right triangle and use the Pythagorean theorem as a guide to find the trig identities. They find sine, cosine and tangent ratios.

Students visit a web page that gives a brief introduction to two color models and experiment with mixing different color intensities to create different colors. They visit links that give more detailed information on color.

Pupils study linear and non-linear equations. After a teacher demonstration, they use calculators to solve and graph equations. They distinguish the difference between linear and non-linear equations.

Middle schoolers discover the linear relationship between degrees Farenheit and degrees Celsius. They manually compute the slope and y-intercept of the line passing through points. They convert Celsius to Fahrenheit degrees.

Students calculate the probability of an event occurring. In this probability lesson, students differentiate between independent, dependent or compound events. They find the range of the data.

In this systems of equations worksheet, students complete 14 multiple choice questions involving systems of equations and finding how many solutions belong to a set of systems.

Students identify a right angle and right triangle. They perform WebQuests searching for similar figures and solve for the length of one of the sides given the other two.

Eighth graders work together in groups to discover linear functions. They are giving a situation and they are to recreate it in their groups. They answer questions to complete the lesson.

Ninth graders demonstrate that factoring polynomials having common factors is the inverse process of multiplying a polynomial by a monomial. students find the greatest common factor.

Census-takers view the Internet to find the total population of a city and its total land area. They work with different mathematical scenarios that involve populations and land area in their city. They complete math problems and unit...

Ninth graders investigate how to solve equations with the variable present on both sides. They practice isolating the variable and combining like terms before solving the equation for the variable.

High schoolers engage in a instructional activity that is about the concept of graphing using the coordinate plane. They view a PowerPoint presentation and practice solving different problems. Students discuss vocabulary words with the...

Students discover the relationships of the lengths of the sides of right triangles and right triangles using a series of drawings on dot paper. They investigate and solve problems of standard (customary and metric units) and non-standard...

Middle and high schoolers investigate how to solve inequalities. The lesson has a good guide for taking pupils through a direct instruction of the concept. You can use counting tiles in order to help kinesthetic learners.
