Students complete online research to study geography's impact on weather. In this geography and weather lesson, students research weather in their city for ten days using an online website. Students bookmark the site, enter data into a...

Sixth graders construct and interpret graphs from ozone data collected in Phoenix area. Can be adapted to other areas.

Ninth graders graph data in order to compare the number of extinct species and a rise in human population. They analyze the data collected. Students are encouraged to infer the relationship.

Learners work collaboratively to gain a better understanding of the vastness of space by scaling down the solar system. They measure by inches, gain an understanding of space, and model the distances of the planets from the sun.

Develop a formula based upon numerical computations. The 31st part of a 33-part unit has the class determine the formula to convert a temperature in Celsius to a temperature in Fahrenheit. They do this by making comparisons between the...

Eleventh graders test the pH and alkalinity of Pago River. In this ecology lesson, 11th graders collect data and use spreadsheet to graph results. They analyze and share their findings with the class.

Students perform acts of kindness.  In this character lesson, students cut out seed shapes and write down their acts of kindness on them.  Students place the seeds on a bulletin board where they "plant" them below the grass line.

Fifth graders study the sizes of pumpkins. They measure and record the diameters of pumpkins. They create five subtraction problems and solve them. They weigh their pumpkins, record the data and select two pumpkins to make a graph of...

Learners use physical models and graphs in order to solve problems that have their origin in the real world that require algebraic thinking. The words are changed into equations and inequalities in order to be solved. This requires...

Students identify and extend a number pattern into very large values. They create and interpret a graph based on their number patterns. Students compare a math model with real-world statistics about the existence of vampires.

Fourth graders collect and organize data for charts and bar graphs by questioning their classmates. They utilize a worksheet imbedded in this plan which guides them through their 'favorites' survey.

Students examine maps of different projections, mathematically calculate distortions, and note the advantages and disadvantages of each map. They study the different maps and transfer the map to graph paper.

Third graders use the Internet (www.weather.com) to find the high temperature for our locale and the high temperature for another city around the world. They keep track of the temperature in these two locations for 10 days.

Question: What do rectangles and bathtub volume have in common? Answer: Linear equations. Learn how to identify situations that have constant rates by examining two different situations, one proportional and one not proportional.

Here is a quick guide to direct, joint, and inverse variation used in realistic situations. Each topic has a page of notes and examples followed by practice problems. The resource explains each type of variation and provides their...
