In this Algebra II/college level worksheet, students use the discriminate to determine if a polynomial has factors with integral coefficients and factor polynomials, including factoring by pulling out the GCF and factoring by grouping....

Computers are useful for more than just surfing the Internet. Pupils first investigate scatter plots and estimate correlation coefficients. Next, they use Microsoft Excel to create scatter plots and determine correlation...

In this systems of linear inequalities worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 10 various types of problems. First, they determine whether a given point is in the solution set of a system of linear inequalities. Then, students graph...

Matrices help solve systems of equations in chemistry, computer graphics, circuitry, probability, and more. The second lesson in a seven-part series focuses on using matrices to balance chemical equations. Pupils rely on the Law of...

Students relate the division of monomials to multiplication. In this division of monomials instructional activity, students divide monomials by factoring and dividing common factors from the originals. They check their answers by...

Turn up the heat! Young mathematicians develop models to represent different climates and collect temperature data. They analyze the data with regression and residual applications. Using that information, they make conclusions about...

Students investigate the effect of thin films to surface friction. In this physics lesson, students calculate the coefficient of friction using mathematical formulas. They discuss its importance in their everyday lives.

Young scholars explore friction. In this physics lesson plan, students will cover metal blocks with film to determine the changes caused by static and kinetic friction.

Assign an interactive poster activity to assess your class's knowledge and skill concerning data analysis. The teacher reference provides solid questions to ask individuals or groups as they complete their posters.

Pupils investigate poverty using graphs. In this algebra lesson, students collect data on the effects of poverty and use different rules to analyze the data. They graph and use the trapezoid rule to interpret the data.

Students read about the changes in the "new money" and then create a graph to represent various combinations of currency produced.

Young scholars solve quadratic equations and identify the vertex. In this algebra lesson, students factor quadratic equations and identify the different properties of a parabola. They graph the functions using the vertex and intercepts.

Students learn about friction and drag - two different forces that convert energy of motion to heat. Both forces can act on a moving object and decrease its velocity. Students learn examples of friction and drag, and suggest ways to...

In this lesson, students use previous knowledge about friction to formulate hypotheses concerning the effects of weight and contact area on the amount of friction between two surfaces. In the Associated Activities (Does Weight Matter?...
