Students analyze and solve linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students solve inequalities using the slope and y intercept. They rewrite word problems into algebraic equations and solve for the unknown.

Adjust this lesson to fit either beginning or more advanced learners. Build a scatter plot, determine appropriate model (linear, quadratic, exponential), and then extend to evaluate the model with residuals. This problem uses real-world...

Students calculate derivatives from a set of data. In this calculus lesson, students estimate the limit at infinity. They complete a Return Interval handout at the end of the lesson.

Practice simplifying complex fractions and long division of polynomials with this brief exercise. These four questions make a challenging warm-up activity or a short, but comprehensive, follow-up after a detailed lesson on algebraic...

Students create visuals of the effect of a spring scale. In this algebra lesson, students use the navigator to graph the effects created by a spring scale. They draw conclusion from the graph.

Learners work collaboratively to gain a better understanding of the vastness of space by scaling down the solar system. They measure by inches, gain an understanding of space, and model the distances of the planets from the sun.

Students study the Mercalli Scale and analyze how it is used to rate earthquakes. They construct a booklet with drawings that represent each rating of the scale. They study why engineers develop rating scales for earthquakes.

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

Students examine how a Richter scale operates. They create a booklet illustrating each rating on the scale. They discover how engineers use different measurement tools.

Students describe how temperature and surface area exposure affect the rate at which fuel is consumed. They explain why engineers want to know about the properties of a fuel when designing rockets. They create a bar graph of result data.

Young scholars experience graphing points.  For this graphing points lesson, students play an on-line game where they must name 10 coordinate pairs correctly.  Young scholars play a maze game where they maneuver a robot using...

In this ratios and proportions worksheet, students complete a series of short answer questions based on different charts and word problems dealing with ratios and proportions. Students complete 9 problems.
