Seventh graders create a graph of their Christmas gifts. They develop categories, compute fractional and decimal parts for each category, identify the number of degrees to represent each fractional part, and create a circle graph to...

Students review information about how to multiply polynomials and then work in pairs to complete a worksheet. They use graphing calculations to help them solve their math problems.

Students create scale drawings, and ultimately scale models, of real-world objects in this Math lesson about ratios, proportion, scaling factors, and cross products. The lesson includes ideas for cross-curricular extensions and is...

First graders investigate the function of pattern as it applies to music, dance and visual art, and participate in activities that demonstrate the patterns found in each art form. They then focus on identifying musicians by the "tools"...

Students identify how to classify living things. They classify various concepts including family members, kinds of clothing, numbers, shapes, and vocabulary words. They discuss how to classify various concepts and classify pictures of...

Students discover plant chemical processes through three lab activities. Overheads, data sheets, and teaching procedures provided for the unit covering photosynthesis, respiration, and transpiration.

Students access the Internet to find information on current hurricanes. They get locations, speeds, and air pressures and then plot the location of the hurricane on a hurricane-tracking map. They also access the FEMA website to solve...

Students use triangles to find the length and slope of each side. After connecting the vertices, they add points based on their specific instructions. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to complete a worksheet to end the lesson.

In this math instructional activity, they state the tests for convergence or divergence of a series. Then they show examples of series to which the tests could be applied.

In this chemical compounds worksheet, students determine the mechanism for chemical reactions, predict the products for given reactions, and write in the structure for compounds. This worksheet has 5 problems to solve.

Students examine folk’s tales for Cause and Effect. In this literature lesson, students read "The Origin of Fire" and "The Origin of Medicine” and look for cause and effect. They use a TI Navigator to write down their findings.

In this fractions activity, students solve 10 short answer problems. Students find items around their home and weigh them. Students convert units from one unit to another in the customary system.

Students investigate triangles and congruences. For this geometry lesson, students differentiate between inductive and deductive reasoning. They differentiate between similar and congruent triangles.

Students model three-dimensional objects using cubes. In this geometry lesson plan, students calculate the volume and derived the amount mathematically. They use different objects to create two and three-dimensional objects.

Students investigate two and three dimensional shapes. In this geometry instructional activity, students write equations of circles and graph them correctly. They create pictures using circles.

Students solve real life situation using the Pythagorean Theorem. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the length, midpoint and slope of segments. They solve word problems using properties of square roots.

Students identify the different systems of equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students solve systems of equations using graphing, elimination and substitution. They use the Ti to graph their systems.

Students calculate the midpoint of a line. In this geometry activity, students identify the different parts of the coordinate plane. They use the midpoint formula to find the middle of segments between a pair of coordinates.

Students study the elements of the Periodic Table as they relate to the building blocks of the body. They experiment to measure the amount of iron in the body.

Eighth graders investigate the Pythagorean Theorem and practice applying the theorem to various triangles. Finally, in the next lesson in the sequence, 8th graders create a song or a story to help them remember the Pythagorean Theorem.

Tenth graders recognize, perform and derive rules for basic transformations including translation, reflection and rotation. They also consider compositions, a combination of two or more basic transformations. Students explore both...

Students analyze inscribed angles and intercepted arcs and explore the relationships between the two. They investigate the properties of angles, arcs, chords, tangents, and secants to solve problems involving circles.

Eighth graders study the cultural and architectural history of San Diego. After study they create a design of a home based of features from historical and modern homes found in their research.

Students examine works of stained glass in one dimensional art form then adapt it a three dimensional transparent mobile. They create their mobile using patterns of shapes and simple images from computer line art, printed art books or...
