First graders create pictographs and interpret results of transportation home from school.

Students investigate the life of Thomas Edison. They research how he made a difference. They understand that accurate data collection is important for math. They create a chart using spreadsheet data.

Learners conduct an experiment to study friction. They complete a KWL chart on friction and conduct an activity about the amount of friction on a moving object. To conclude, pupils create a table or graph of the data collected and they...

Students analyze equations using the slopes and intercept. In this algebra lesson, students graph equations give the slope and y intercepts. They are also asked to identify the slope and y intercept from a given graph. They solve real...

Learners calculate the slopes of secant lines. In this calculus lesson, students graph tangent and secant lines using the coordinate plane. They use the Ti calculator to graph and observe the lines.

Students analyze equations using the slope and y-intercept. In this algebra activity, students identify the slope using a and the intercept using m. They graph linear equations based on the slope and intercept.

Students solve linear equations with compound inequalities. In this algebra activity, students solve inequalities and graph their solution on a number line. They define "and" and "or" when it comes to graphing.

Students use the Internet to learn about transformations and tessellations.  In this geometry instructional activity, students use the Internet to define the meaning of reflections, translations, rotations, glide reflection and...

In this math worksheet, learners will create a "bridge" out of spaghetti and test it's strength with pennies. Students will record their results on a table and then graph the results.

Students practice addition facts, record data, and construct a bar graph. In this probability lesson, students participate in a board game in which bicycles move towards a finish line based on players completing addition problems. Dice...

Fifth graders examine the many uses of coordinate grids. In this graphing lesson, 5th graders write data driven equations, discuss the x and y-axis, and determine if using 2 or 3 ordered pairs is better.  Students complete several...

Students explore Earth science by building a model in class. In this tectonic plate lesson, students identify the impact tectonic shifts have on humans and animals and where the plates and faults lie under New Zealand. Students examine...

Middle schoolers predict if the height of a ramp affect how far an object travels. They design and conduct an experiment to test their predictions. The results are recorded and a graph is created to show the relationship between ramp...

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

Students find forecast and graph weather by using WeatherBug site, create flower books by using Wiggleworks, and plant radish seeds both on KidPix and in class garden.

Students complete a game-like simulation to determine a career and salary. In groups, they collect information and decide what is the "best" city in which to live. They create a monthly budget for their "best" city based on salary from...

Learners graph compound inequalities. For this algebra lesson, students solve equations with inequalities and graph the results on a number line. They distinguish between "or" and "and"

Students examine college costs in different states. In this college cost lesson plan, students create a table and determine the average cost of college for the states listed. They organize the data into measurement categories. Students...

Young scholars identify tangents, chords and secants. In this geometry lesson, students graph circles and identify angles created by secant lines, tangent lines and chords.

Label angles of parallel lines to analyze the angles created by a transversal and two parallel lines. They graph their lines and observe the similarity and difference in the angles.

Eighth graders pick a topic or person to research related to the history of mathematics. They brainstorm and create a concept map, using the multimedia software inspiration, about what they are researching and want to examine. They then...

Third graders explore the Charleston Railroad. In this South Carolina history instructional activity, 3rd graders examine the impact of the rail line on economy and citizens of the state. Students create posters...

Students recount details from the book Johnny Appleseed to create their own pop-up book about his life.

Learners use coordinates in a table to write equations. In this algebra lesson, students discuss rate of change as it relates to slope and x and y values. They plot the points from a table to graph their lines and write an equation for...
