In this task, students investigate how many coins will fit around a central coin when they are all of the same denomination, and if there is room left over. The teacher is given a chart of four coin denominations and their diameters, but...

In this task, students investigate why total solar eclipses are rare. They will learn that, in addition to requiring the positioning of the Sun, Moon, and Earth, the Moon can only completely block out the Sun when it is closest to the...

In this task, young scholars investigate the volume of tennis balls and their cylindrical container, the empty space around the balls, different ways of slicing them, and what their visualizations will look like. Aligns with G-GMD.B.4...

Students will investigate the attribute of length by using a common measurement tool such as snap or unifix cubes to directly measure objects in the classroom. Materials needed include various items to measure, a large set of cubes such...

In this task involving temperature conversions, learners construct a linear function given two input-output pairs, investigate the inverse of a linear function, and reason about quantities and/or solving a linear equation. Aligns with...

In this task, students investigate the relationship between linear equations and linear functions. Aligns with F-LE.A.2.

In this task about archery, students investigate the effects on a function of replacing f(x) with f(x+k). Aligns with F-BF.B.3.

This task shows the congruence of two triangles formed by cutting a rectangle in half along the diagonal. Students are asked to investigate elements of congruence and transformations among the shapes. Aligns with 8.G.A.2.

Students learn about probability density functions and uniform distributions. The tutorial investigates the statistics concepts through class notes and examples. Review exercises are included.

The resource investigates inverse functions. Topics examined are domain, range, one-to-one functions, graphing inverse functions, finding inverse functions algebraically, and logarithmic and exponential functions. Students learn about...

Could the altitude of the city hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games have an effect on performance in the long jump? This challenging activity encourages mathematical reflection, investigation and discussion as students explore how...

This activity investigates the importance of accurate measurement in competitive sport, looking at examples from athletics and swimming. It is aimed at secondary maths students (grades 8, 9, and 10).

The downloadable monograph investigates the electrification of Los Angeles. Topics include scientific principles associated with major technological advances in electrical power production.

Welcome to Martha's STEM Stories! STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. You may already know that doing STEM means testing ideas, collecting data, making calculations, and drawing graphs and charts-but you...

[Free Registration/Login Required] During this MEA simulation, kindergarten students will be deciding which type of bike will be best for a company to sell in their community. Students must work in cooperative groups as they determine...

Students will learn how to use appropriate and different procedures, tools, measurements, graphs and mathematical analyses to describe and investigate natural and designed systems in a physical science context.

Investigate some of the mathematical challenges Boston engineers had to deal with during the Central Artery Tunnel Project (the "Big Dig"). This video focuses on the irregular shape of the casting basin and the volume calculations...
