From derivatives to antiderivatives and back again. Building on the second instructional activity of the three-part series covering functions, learners explore the concept of an antiderivative. They connect the concept to the graph of...

Make sure pupils have the skills to move on to the second half of the module with a mid-module assessment task. The formative assessment instrument checks student learning before moving on to the rest of the lessons in the unit.

Need to build a laser fence on Mars?  In this cute maximizing-area lesson, young explorers pretend to be prospectors on Mars and must determine the best way to use 20 meters of fencing in order to maximize their area. In addition,...

Learners are able define or describe what the Internet is and how it developed. They are able to Describe an IP packet and what is meant by the phrase "packet switching network". Students are able to describe the World Wide Web. They are...

Pupils analyze graphs for specific properties. In this algebra lesson plan, students solve equations and graph using the TI calculator. They find the different changes that occur in each graph,including maximum and minimum.

Writing an equation of a line is as easy as m and b. A lesson presentation gives individuals different strategies for writing equations of lines. Some items provide a slope and a point while others provide two points. Whatever the given,...

First graders explore the existence of patterns in everyday items. In this science and math integrated lesson, 1st graders match leaves with a name word card and organize them into four patterns. This lesson includes a reading of And the...

Focusing on this algebra lesson, learners relate quadratic equations in factored form to their solutions and their graph from a number of different aspects. In some problems, one starts with the original equation and finds the...

Students construct spreadsheets from raw data. In this spreadsheet construction lesson, students compile data into Microsoft Excel. Students familiarize themselves with entering and presenting data in a spreadsheet.

Middle schoolers use a two-liter bottle, dowel rod and index cards to design and construct a water wheel. They then calculate the power created and measure the work done by the water wheel in Watts and Joules.

In this math worksheet, pupils describe the difference between a partial and an ordinary differential equation. They give examples of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd order differential equations. Students apply this information to predator/prey...

In this dimensional vector worksheet, students prove dimensional vectors. They write systems of equations, verify solutions, and sketch graphs of the functions. This two-page worksheet contains approximately ten problems.

Students create a collect data on expenses. In this algebra lesson plan, students create a spreadsheet to solve scientific equations. They incorporate math, science and technology in this lesson plan.

Young scholars collect data on investments and draw conclusions. In this algebra instructional activity, students analyze exponential graphs as they relate to money. They discuss the cause of an account balance being high or low.

It's the stairway to learning! Scholars research all aspects of building a staircase. Using information from building codes, they write and graph a system of inequalities to analyze the constraints. The completed project is a scale model...

Introduce learners to exponential growth with this real-world problem about algae that is rapidly spreading across a lake in a city park. The task presents the rate of growth and an end value and asks learners to determine what happened...

In this math worksheet, students write down five exact differential equations in symmetric form. Then they test the statements concerning differential equations.

Students study operations with real numbers using mental computation or paper-and-pencil calculations. They judge the reasonableness of numerical computations and their results. They set up and solve proportions for direct and inverse...

Explore how real-world applications can be parabolic in nature and how to find quadratic functions that best fit data. A number of different examples of modeling parabolas are explored including a student scavenger hunt, the exploration...

High schoolers investigate different types of correlation in this statistics lesson. They identify positive, negative and no correlation as it relates to their data. They then find the line of best fit for the plotted data.

Students explore multimedia components. In this science inquiry activity, students read "Invitation to the Game" by Monica Hughes and they use the Alice Computer Programming System to better understand population dynamics.

Young scholars research and analyze sound waves and how an ultrasound works to image a baby in utero. They explore various websites, complete worksheets, and write a paragraph describing a demonstration they view in the classroom.

Students graph systems of equation. In this calculus lesson, students graph their lines on a TI calculator. They identify the point of intersection and the type of solution.

By learning to select the best representation for three meal plans, students compare three meal plans to determine the best choice. Data for the meal plans is sorted on a table, as an algebraic equation, and graphed on a coordinate grid....
