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.

Second graders use latitude and longitude coordinates to pinpoint an exact location on the map. In this geography lesson, 2nd graders utilize handouts from the Maritime Museum in order to gain practice in finding locations throughout the...

Students convert between two units as they calculate the temperature. In this algebra lesson, students collect data on seasonal climate and create a graph. They make conjectures based on their data collection.

Eighth graders experiment with building bridges of spaghetti, pennies, and a cup to determine how varying the number of spagetti pieces affects the strength of the bridge. They graph their results and interpret the data.

Students explore concept of functions as relationships, as machines, as equations, and as graphs.

What did you do over your summer vacation. Young wage earners must compare summer job options, and determine when each job earn the same amount and what that amount be. This be done by creating, graphing, and solving systems of...

In this quadratic equations activity, students read notes about graphing, factoring, square roots, completing the square, and the quadratic formula. Students read 2 1/2 pages of notes.

Students differentiate between ellipse and hyperbola. In this algebra lesson, students graph and solve elliptical equations. They use the cabri program to create the different conics and move them around.

Students analyze the sliding of boxes along a warehouse floor. In this algebra lesson, students connect math and physics by calculating the friction created by the sliding of each box. They develop faster method to move the box, based on...

Students create a matrix of the vertices of a triangle and produce new matrices that dilate, translate, rotate, and reflect the original triangle. After multiplying each matrix by a new scale factor, they graph the new matrix and...

Ninth graders design a safe passage through a 2-D obstacle. In this geometric math lesson, 9th graders engage in a hands on activity to better understand the concept of geometric and algebraic perpendicularity. Students will work in...

Students identify the slope of a line. In this algebra lesson, students discover the process of how to find the slope of a line and classify the slope as positive, negative, zero or undefined. They find the slope of a line given two...

Students factor and solve systems of equation. In this algebra lesson plan, students identify the point of intersection using substitution, elimination and graphing. They write an equation given a system and a graph.

Students identify the basic transformations of parent functions. They use their graphing calculator to create a transformation booklet by folding a sheet of computer paper in half and stapling along the folded edge.

Students solve and graph linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students solve systems of equations using elimination and substitution. They graph their answer and identify the point of intersection.

Students collect and analyze data using a graph. In this algebra lesson, students explain their findings orally and with a graph. They use their knowledge to solve real life scenarios.

Students identify the slope of a line given two points on the line. In this algebra activity, students solve linear equations by finding and comparing slopes of lines. They differentiate between the steepness of the slope and the line.

Students examine real-world data relating to real estate. They conduct Internet research, record data regarding real estate in major cities, graph the data, calculate mortgage payments using a mortgage calculator, and analyze the data.

Students observe a pendulum and graph their observation. In this algebra instructional activity, students use the TI calcualtor to graph the motion the pendulum makes. They analyze the graph and make predictions.

Young scholars calculate the slope of a line. In this algebra instructional activity, students graph a line using the slope and y-intercepts. They define the steepness of the line using the slope.

Students perform translations on different polygons. In this geometry activity, students create figures that will be used as an assessment to represent transformation. They perform hands on creation and relate it to the real world.

Students investigate and solve Pythagorean triples. In this geometry lesson, students find the missing sides and angles of a right triangle. They graph right triangles and move the sides around to create different angles.

Fifth graders read postcards and find their locations on maps. They use the pictures and text on the postcards to write about imaginary vacations. They compute the mileage and compare it to TripMaker data.

Students collect data on population growth. In this statistics instructional activity, students graph their data and make predictions. They find the linear regression and the best fit line.
