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...

Students develop a formula that describes the functional relationship of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Working with a partner, they measure the diameter and circumference of circular objects in order to discover the...

In this percentages worksheet, students calculate percentages in eighteen problem solving percentage equations. Students show each step of their work.

In this linear equation worksheet, students graph linear equations and identify the x or y-intercept. There are nine graphing equations on this two-page worksheet.

In this function instructional activity, students observe graphs and determine if the function of the graph is odd or even. They find the inverse of a function and determine the horizontal asymptote of a function. This four-page...

For this graph functions worksheet, students complete several activities to help them graph functions. Students use the table and the graph to complete the questions. Students also answer two test prep questions.

Students using their right hands, put the first letter of their last name in each square on a piece of square grid paper. Then after the 20 seconds is up, they do the same thing using their left hands.

Eleventh graders investigate logarithms.  In this Algebra II lesson, 11th graders explore the properties of logarithms that are used to simplify expression and solve equations.  Students confirm their conjectures regarding the...

Students complete time and distance problems. Using appropriate problem solving strategies, students determine when a helicopter will catch a cruise ship. Students write a summary of their solution process. They complete a graph to...

Students collect sunflower heads from their community garden. They estimate its seed count using different strategies. They graph their estimations on a graph and use calculators to find the actual total.

Third graders measure distance using nonstandard units of measure. In this measurement activity, 3rd graders measure a given distance through the use of the game "Mother May I?" Student gather and compare data on how many "giant steps"...

Ninth graders use FoilSim to fulfill the specifications of a given airfoil (wing) and plot and interpret graphs.

Fifth graders study six major biomes, graph temperature and rainfall, and present their findings to the class.

Students collect data about lighting conditions around a room using a light sensor and RCX. They use software to upload and analyze the data in order to draw conclusions about light intensity in the room.

Students create a survey for their classmates to collect data on their favorite foods, eye color, pets or other categorical data. They compile the data from the survey in a table and then make a bar graph of each category using a web tool.

Fourth graders complete a taste test of different sandwiches, rate them, and then put them in a ratio graph. In this ratio lesson plan, 4th graders write what they learned about ratios after this activity.

Third graders enter the results of their survey on a spreadsheet. They construct a bar graph showing the results.

Students construct a bridge that can hold 100 pennies. For this math lesson, students evaluate the strength of their bridges. They predict how much weight a bridge can hold based on its design.

Students estimate and record the number of raisins in a snack-size box. They also graph their results and note the differences (+ or -) from their estimate and actual number.

Pupils simulate the three types of plate boundaries using robots. In this earth science lesson, students explain how earthquakes and volcanoes are formed. They collect real-world earthquake data and plot them on the map.

Learners complete a game-like simulation to determine a career and salary. In groups, they collect information and decide what is the "best" city in which to live. They create a monthly budget for their "best" city based on salary from...

Students do a variety of data analyses of real-life basketball statistics from the NBA. They chart and graph rebounding, scoring, shot blocking and steals data which are gathered from the newspaper sports section.

In this ordered pairs worksheet, students identify 6 ordered pairs given a coordinate plane.  Students list the ordered pair given the graph.

Students monitor local surface weather conditions for at least 30 days. They interpret the data by graphing it and detemining percentages.
