Students solve problems using various strategies. In this problem solving lesson, students read the book Swimmy by Leo Lionni. Students make fish swimming patterns, measure how many goldfish crackers it takes to make a handprint and...

Students measure an area given a yardstick. They also convert inches into a fractions of a foot and use data to create a linear graph.

Learners investigate the Golden Ratio in this algebra I or geometry instructional activity. They explore the Golden Ratio as the conduct an experiment in which they collect various measurement from their team members and find the...

Students explain the differences between linear (arithmetic) and exponential (geometric) growth. They use worksheets imbedded in this lesson to help them make predicitions and graph data points.

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

Students explore geometry by participating in a measurement activity. In this human anatomy instructional activity, students identify the appropriate methods to measure human body parts and do so in class. Students create a bar graph...

Explore graphical representation of a real-life data set and determine the exponential regression model for the data in your classroom. Students also compare the estimated value to the given value by determining the percent error.

Students create a collect data on expenses. For this algebra lesson, students create a spreadsheet to solve scientific equations. They incorporate math, science and technology in this lesson.

Students explore decay functions and the half-life of a substance. Through an M&M activity with calculators, students collect and graph data. They determine the linear, quadratic and exponential functions of the graph. Students...
