Students use a spreadsheet to investigate data. For this algebra lesson, students collect and graph data on a coordinate plane. They explain properties of a linear equation both algebraically and orally.

Slow and steady wins the race? In the assessment task, scholars calculate the rates at which different snails travel in order to find the fastest snail. Hopefully, your class will move much more quickly in finishing the task!

Students view a right triangle displayed by the teacher. Students measure legs and the interior angles of the triangle. They look for a pattern or relationship between the legs and angles. Students use pegboards and string to create more...

Students listen to a lecture about absolute maximum and absolute minimum. In this maximum and minimum lesson students use steps to find points and practice with an example.

In this math worksheet, students learn to graph ordered pairs. Students examine a graph with 3 labeled points and tell the ordered pairs for each. Students also plot 8 ordered pairs on a graph they draw themselves.

Learners investigate personal culture. They go throughout the community taking pictures and saving the images to create a personal photo book. The information can be displayed in either a digital or hard copy. The goal of the...

Students explore the coordinate plane. In this secondary mathematics lesson, students follow a set of directions to plot points in the coordinate plane.

Fourth graders listen as the teacher reads a picture book that emphasized word choice. They discuss words and how word choice impacts a piece of writing. Students view various passages on the overhead, and highlight adjectives and verbs...

Pupils multiply the vertical and horizontal distances from the center of dilation by the scale factor. The independent practice prompts the class to analyze the relationship between the image and pre-image. The lesson is...

Teach how graphic designers can use mathematics to represent three-dimensional movement on a two-dimensional television surface. Pupils use matrices, vectors, and transformations to model rotational movement. Their exploration involves...

Young geometers develop one of the fundamental properties of quadrilaterals (connecting side midpoints gives a parallelogram) in this short but thought-provoking exercise. Using a combination of hands-on techniques and abstract algebraic...

Explore how lines of symmetry help define different categories of quadrilaterals. Looking at a square, rectangle, trapezoid, and parallelogram, young mathematicians discover that each shape has its own, unique symmetry. Encourage your...

Learners consider a set of questions to determine a series of transformations that will move one figure to another. Once the series is determined, the pupil then determines whether the pre-image and image are either congruent...

Fit functions to data by using an interactive app. Individuals plot a scatter plot and then fit lines of best fit and regression curves to the data. The use of an app gives learners the opportunity to try out different functions to see...

Explore different types of functions using an interactive lesson. Learners enter functions and view the accompanying graphs. They can choose to show key features or adjust the scale of the graph.

Students sort and compare apples before making apple prints. For this apple lesson, students use a painting to inspire art prints made with apple halves. Students compare and sort apples.

What would your dream house look like? A cottage? A medieval castle? High schoolers enrolled in Algebra design the perfect house while using slopes to write equations for various aspects of the project.

Are you tired of answers without understanding? Learners can give a correct response, but do they really understand the concept? Have young mathematicians think deeper about linear functions, angles, and formulas in algebra....

Pair physical science learners up, and have one describe a transverse wave while the other blindly attempts to draw it. Then reveal an actual diagram and explain the different parts of the wave: crest, trough, wavelength. Though most of...

Students discuss facts about animal habitats. In this animal instructional activity, students recall animal facts about habitats in an animal Bingo game. Teacher pieces and cards are already created and ready to print out.

In this mathematics test, 7th graders practice skills for the New York State testing program. There are 30 multiple choice problems in this packet. Skills cover a wide variety of topics and are intended to provide an overview of the...

In this pre-calculus instructional activity, students solve for angles formed by a tangent line and a circle. There are 6 different worksheets containing 8-10 problems per sheet.

Students investigate the concept of reflectons. They investigate how an image has a reflection that is symmetrical. They also choose household objects in order to have real life application for finding lines of symmetry.

Sixth graders develop an understanding of Christmas traditions of other countries and well as the United States. They discover the meaning of other holiday celebrations and utilize computers and other technology as an integral part of...
