Using Cabri Jr. learners construct a circle and determine the equation of the circle they drew by finding the center and the radius. Students use the distance formula to derive the equation of their circle.

This worksheet is actually an entire chapter focused on math problems involving, shortest path, minimum connector, traveling salesman, and Chinese postman problems. There are multiple activities, exercises, and examples to get students...

Learners experiment with velocity, ratios, and rates. In this data management lesson, students throw a dart with and without using an atlatl and collect and record various data. Learners construct ratios based on the data and determine...

Eighth graders explore the weapons of the Aboriginal people.  In this eight grade math/science lesson, 8th graders collect and analyze data regarding the speed and distance of a dart thrown with an atlatl.  Students choose the...

Sixth graders draw a habitat and write about what they would need to survive in the habitat. They define the input of items such as materials, energy, and information, and what goes out of the habitat. They play a "Habitat Address" game,...

Students examine motion of a sphere on an inclined plane.  In this inclined plane lesson students complete an activity to discover basic relationships.

Students discover how the land and people we develop relationships with in Nebraska affect our survival--past, present, and future. They write about and interview their grandparents, parents and peers and compare them with people on the...

Learners explore the three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system and discuss how it is important for structural engineers in order to be able to describe locations in space to fellow engineers. They participate in a hands-on activity...

Students solve equations by taking the derivative. In this calculus instructional activity, students solve parametric equations implicitly. They use the TI-calculator to graph their equations.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders calculate ordered pairs using a table to plot the coordinate pairs to make a graph. There are 3 graphing question.

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.

High schoolers get up close and personal with principles of motion. In this physics lesson, students collect and analyze acceleration data on amusement park rides. High schoolers use CBLs to collect data in this lesson.

Students experiment with Hiker program to practice real world applications of linear functions and develop their understanding of expressions, relationships, and manipulations involved in writing and graphing linear equations in...

Students describe stellar objects using terms such as stars, planets, satellites, orbits and light. In this sun and stars unit, students research stellar objects through seven individual lessons discovering star characteristics, how...

Students discover scales for both the solar bodies' relative sizes and their distances from the sun. They find equatorial circumference and volumes of their solar bodies. Students apply estimation strategies and proportioanl reasoning to...

Twelfth graders complete a unit of lessons on derivatives as they are applied to motion. They observe and discuss demonstrations, conduct an experiment involving a motion sensor, graph and analyze the results, and summarize their findings.

Students engage in an interactive Internet lesson covering the reasons and results of earthquakes. After reading eyewitness accounts and viewing animations, they use seismograms to measure and locate the epicenters. In an ongoing study,...

Students create number lines using decimals and whole numbers. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph and solve linear equations. They plot ordered pairs on a coordinate plane correctly.

Third graders discuss light sources and collect data about energy sources. They compare data and create a multiple line graph showing energy used by light sources for each student in the group. They present their graphs and write a...

Students collect data from measurements and weights for this experiment. In this algebra lesson, students analyze graphs they create form their data to find the expression representing the data. They label which graph provided the best...

Learners use math to plan a trip by houseboat down the Mississippi River. They research and obtain information on the Mississippi River and its surroundings and use multiple graphs to represent their data.

Students explore inequalities. For this Algebra I lesson, students solve and graph linear inequalities involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.  Students use inequalities to solve and graph real-world problems.

Pupils solve equations using the quadratic formula. In this quadratic equations lesson, students use digital cameras to film pupils jumping and import film clips into a computer. Students use the data in the quadratic formula presented...

Students study paper airplanes. In this lesson on aerodynamics, students print out the folding directions for making paper airplanes and after making the planes test their paper airplanes to see how well each flies. Students weigh...
