Students study cloud data and weather maps to explore cloud activity.  In this cloud data lesson students locate latitude and longitude coordinates and determine cloud cover percentages. 

Students investigate the volume of cones. In this geometry lesson, students define the formula to find the volume of cones. They define the concept of having to dissect a three dimensional figure and find the volume.

Concepts are only valuable if they are applicable. An informative resource uses concepts developed in lessons 26 and 27 in a 36-part series. Scholars write equations and solve for missing side lengths for given right triangles....

More of a math lesson than physics or space science, high schoolers take a set of data and plot it on a log-log coordinate system. The write-up for day two was never completed, but day one, "Stars and Slopes," is complex and cohesive....

Study various types of mathematical models in this math activity. Learners calculate the slope to determine the risk in a situation described. They respond to a number of questions and analyze their statistical data. Then, they determine...

Root for your pupils to learn about roots. Young mathematicians first review the meaning of squares and square roots. They then use this knowledge to simplify square roots of monomials with variables.

Students measure using the metric system. In this geometry lesson, students solve problems using grams, meters and liters. They convert between the US units of measurements and the Metric System.

Examine ratios and proportions in several real-world scenarios. Children will calculate unit rates, work with proportions and percentages as they plan a party, purchase produce, and take a tally. This lesson plan recommends five...

Derivatives are useful for many things — they can even keep track of particle motion. An informative lesson plan provides an introduction to the idea of the second derivative in particle motion. Class members determine the...

Do you have enough insurance? Pupils may be surprised to learn how much their possessions are worth. This activity asks them to create an inclusive list and make a comparison to their insurance coverage. According to the statistics, most...

Experiment with optical resolution using an inquiry-based lesson. Young researchers calculate fellow classmates' optical resolutions. They apply the information to understand the inner workings of optical instruments.

Triangles and prisms don't stand a chance when your learners use this handout full of the formulas they need to know about the different shapes. Area, volume, and surface formulas are all covered along with the standard measurement and...

Learn to calculate the nth term of a sequence defined by an algebraic expression. They examine geometric sequences and series, relate geometric sequences to their explicit forms, find the partial sums of a sequence in a table, and...

Young scholars identify the probability of an event occurring. Learners explore the complement of an event in finding why an event will not happen. They also explore basics of probability within algebra.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders use algebra to solve geometry word problems involving the perimeter of a rectangle. The one page interactive worksheet contains eight questions. Answers and hints are included. 

Students use gas mileage of different cars to create T charts, algebraic equations, and graphs to show which gets better mileage. In this gas mileage lesson plan, students use the graph to see which car they should buy.

Learners find the slopes of linear functions. For this graphing lesson, students analyze linear equations and calculate the slope of the line. They graph a line given the slope and y-intercept.

Learners compute the length of time it will take to save enough money to purchase a yo-yo. In this math lesson plan, students create a design with pennies and write the associated linear equation. In this linear equations lesson plan,...

Learners are presented with a story about two individuals running a race in which one is given a head start. Students must map the progress of the runners, create a chart examining patterns and graph the progress. In the end, learners...

In this algebra worksheet, students evaluate a set of 9 cards, each of which has one letter on it. They then use the 9 clues to determine which number is on the back of each card. For example, B x B = 25 and B + B = 10. Students can...

Students discuss the importance of fundamental theorems in math. In this calculus lesson, students define the fundamental theorem of calculus and discuss why it is so important they understand it. They work problems to model how this...

Eighth graders determine which numbers are rational numbers. In this number instructional activity students answer a series of questions related to natural and whole numbers as well as integers and rational numbers. Students work...

In this algebra lesson, students rewrite word problems dealing with systems of equations into algebraic equations and solve for the unknown. There are two word problems on this worksheet.

Students solve inequalities and graph it on a number line. In this algebra lesson plan, students rewrite word problems into algebraic equations and graph it using compound inequalities.
