Students examine negative numbers by extending a vertical number line to include numbers less than zero. After playing a game, students watch a Cyberchase video in which the characters try to solve similar problems.

Fourth graders work in co-operative teams of four to complete a puzzle. Each student initially works independently, and then the team jointly puts together the four shapes they have individually made, to complete the puzzle.

Students solve real world problems involving area and perimeter in this unit culminating activity.

Fourth graders find the perimeter of a geometric shape by adding the lengths of the sides. They find the area of a square or rectangle by counting square units. Students use multiplication to find the area of a rectangle. They estimate...

Second graders investigate rice or gohan as it's called in Japan in a couple of experiments. They tally the results.

Eighth graders engage in a lesson that is concerned with examining two dimensional figures with different properties that include circles, triangles, queadrilaterals, etc... They identify the types of figures that is identified as polygons.

Students identify geometrical shapes displayed in photographs of everyday objects in a metropolitan setting.

Eighth graders, using a range of data, produce three bar graphs for various scales along the y-axis.

Students review the lecture portion of this lesson plan. Individually, they graph various points on a complex plane and identify conjugates based on their location on the graphs. They complete a worksheet and review their answers to end...

Students relate the trigonometric functions to the coordinates of the unit circle. They classify trigonometric functions as odd or even. Students determine the signs of trigonometric functions in each quadrant. They are explained that...

Learners practice graphing quadratic equations to find the vertex of quadratic functions. They determine if the graph opens upward or downward as well as convert quadratic equations to vertex form from polynomial form. A lab version is...

Learners plot points on the x-y plane using x and y coordinates and describe how the x and y values relate to the position of the point on the plane. They plot points that fit a linear relationship. They explain that their horizontal and...

Students plot points on the x-y plane using x and y coordinates. They describe how the x and y values relate to the position of the point on the plane. Finally, students plot points that fit a linear relationship and summarize that a...

Fourth graders, in groups, design a paperclip grasshopper. They determine its ability to survive a prey by jumping high, far, or with a distracting behavior.

Second graders select a stock and follow its ups and downs, using graphs to show its success.

Students time battery operated cars over a set track and determine the velocity of each type of car. They use the cars as manipulatives to demonstrate word problems involving velocity.

Students use the bisection method to approximate the roots of a polynomial. They evaluate functions for a given point, graph linear and quadratic functions, and recognize the elements of polynomial expressions.

Students find the vertex, directrix, and focus of a parabola. They graph parabolic functions and solve application problems involving parabalas.

Students find the vertex, directrix, and focus of a parabola and graph parabolic functions. They solve problems involving parabolas after a demonstration instructional activity by the teacher.

Students find the center, foci, vertices, and asymptotes of hyperbolas. They graph hyperbolas and determine the equation of a hyperbola with a horizontal transverse axis. They derive general coordinates for the foci of a hyperbola with a...

Students locate and identify the center, foci, vertices, and asymptotes fo hyperbolas. They graph equations involving asymptotes and hyperbolas. Finally, students determine the equation of a hyperbola with a horizontal transverse axis.

In these angles and geometry worksheets, learners learn about different kinds of angles, angle measurement, and other geometry facts. Students complete 15 questions.

Students explore the historical sequence of cultures throughout history. They demonstrate the ability to organize events in chronological order and demonstrate how time is measured and annotated.

Second graders distinguish between and use nonstandard and standard units of measurement, use appropriate tools and techniques to measure length and width, and record and interpret data using graphs.
