Distance Between Two Points
In this distance learning exercise, learners calculate the distance between two points on a coordinate plane. This four-page learning exercise contains 20 problems.
Curated OER
Three, Two, One, Go!
Students work in teams conducting an experiment that demonstrates why the height of an inclined plane affects the speed at which an object travels. They record data on a chart and calculate speed to reveal the results of three trials at...
Curated OER
Up, Up, and Away
Students study the concepts of speed and velocity and complete practice problems. In small groups, students fly airplanes and record time and distance traveled for each flight. They calculate the speed and velocity of their plane for...

Documentarians of an Era: A Study of the Paintings of Thomas Eakins and Gustave Caillebotte
Students produce an object analysis of 'The Champion Single Scull'. They begin with description, proceeding to deduction, and finally providing speculation by interpreting the outward evidence of culture. They use a clipboard and paper...
Curated OER
Exploring Graphs
Students are introduced to connecting graphing in a coordinate plane to making scatterplots on a graphing calculator. Working in pairs, they connect points plotted to make a sailboat and complete questions on a worksheet as well as plot...
Curated OER
Distance Formula
Young scholars watch teacher demonstration of distance formula, view non-collinear cities on maps, plot points on coordinate plane, evaluate square roots, compute distance between two points, and use Heron's formula to find area of...

Secrets of Making Money
Students examine the properties of different materials used to make paper money. They design their own bill and share it with the class. They also watch a video clip and read an article about making money and how it affects the economy.
Curated OER
Ellipses
Learners define ellipses and their properties. In this calculus lesson plan, students analyze ellipses for their shape, center, major and minor axes. They create a paper ellipse to have a visual of what an ellipse really looks like...
