Test the limits of one's knowledge on continuity. The last of 18 installments in Unit 1 - Limits and Continuity is an end-of-unit review learning exercise. Individuals identify and classify discontinuities, investigate continuity at a...

Scale up your lessons on geometry and ask learners to investigate conditions on triangles, scale drawings, the area and circumference of circles, and angle relationships. The resource includes activities and a homework assignment.

Lead by example. Pupils use software to investigate given measures of sides and angles to determine whether they create congruent triangles. Using the discovered triangle congruences, learners put together proofs.

How does the graph intersect? Learners investigate the x-intercepts of polynomial functions. They first determine the relationship between the graph's interaction, then figure out the power of the factor.

Escape to investigate hyperbolas. Pupils take a look at what happens to the elliptical orbital path of a satellite that exceeds escape velocity as the opener to the eighth instructional activity in a unit of 23. Scholars analyze basic...

Move all rational functions—well, maybe. Learners investigate the graphs of the reciprocals of power functions to determine a pattern between the graph and the power. Pupils graph rational functions where transformations are clearly...

Combine functions for the first time. Pupils investigate composition of functions using a function table and then function machines in the 17th installment in a 23-part Precalculus series. Scholars learn the two notations for composition...

Students test catapults. For this physics lesson, student conduct scientific investigations that require them to test catapults. Students practice their problem solving skills as they employ the use of the scientific method.

Ninth graders investigate the functional relationship of different environmental phenomena. In this math lesson, 9th graders create models of various natural disasters. They use logarithmic and exponential functions to interpret...

In this number sense worksheet, students explore the Grand Canyon. Students are to find five facts about the Grand Canyon that contain a number greater than the number one thousand.

In this area and perimeter worksheet, middle schoolers design a garden that includes shrubs, flowers, and walkways then determine the area and perimeter of each garden feature.

Sixth graders investigate metric measurements. In this metric measurement lesson plan, 6th graders explore mass, capacity, and length. Students examine graduated cylinders and balance scales to obtain measurements. Resources are provided.

Students explore the value of money. For this money lesson, students investigating combining amounts of money and making change. Students count sets of money and make fair trades. Resources are provided.

Students investigate the problems that can be solved only using the numbers 6, 7, and 42. They write the correct number sentences and solve for the solution. Students then give a written explanation for how the problem was solved and the...

Investigate the case of two negatives making a positive. Pupils fill in a quadrant system to generate the products of integers. They analyze the quadrants to find patterns and relationships to help complete the table values. The teacher...

Pupils investigate different equations and think critically how they could represent a real-life situation. They should write a word problem to coincide with the given equations. The lesson requires students to use critical thinking skills.

It's time to investigate patterns! First and second graders construct a paper weaving using a hundreds chart, then use the Ti-10 calculator to make patterns such as adding 3 each time. Learners remove multiples of three from the hundreds...

High schoolers investigate harmonic conjugates using Cabri Software or the Ti Calculator to analyze harmonics. They explore different angles measurements as they move their circles around and solve problems.

Learners calculate the surface area of prisms. In this geometry lesson, students investigate the properties of prisms and analyze ways to calculate the are of a rectangular prism. They derive the formula for surface area.

Explore slope using geometric patterns. Young mathematicians investigate towers built from cubes to develop a linear pattern. They move the data to a coordinate plane to connect the pattern to slopes.

Take young mathematicians on an exploration of the world of 3-D geometry with this seven-lesson unit. After first defining the terms perimeter, area, and volume and how they apply to the real world, students continue on...

Explore nutrition and healthy eating habits with a study on youth obesity. Learners watch a PBS documentary on the obesity epidemic which discusses government programs aimed at healthier choices, as well as more localized efforts. Kids...

Visit the Magic Treehouse and take your class on a trip through time with a reading of the children's book Mummies in the Morning. Using the story to spark an investigation into Egyptian culture, this literature unit engages...

Students are introduced to the concepts of perimter, diameter, circumference and measurements. In groups, they complete two worksheets in which they determine if the ice dimensions make a difference in the way it floats. They discuss...
