Paper folding, flu spreading in a school, bacteria growth, and continuously compounded interest all provide excellent models to study exponential functions. This is a comprehensive resource that looks at many different aspects of...

Students explore pi. In this circle measurement lesson, students define and identify radius, diameter, circumference, and perimeter. Students work in groups to measure several plastic lids and record their findings. Students compare the...

Middle and high schoolers use a spreadsheet to graph data. In this graphing lesson, learners determine how two parameters are correlated. They create a scatter plot graph using a computer spreadsheet.

Your learners explore growing patterns by describing, extending, creating, and evaluating practical pattern problems in this three-day collaborative unit. Beginning with concrete patterns and function tables to extend and...

Can scientists really predict genetic outcomes or are they simply making a lucky guess? Scholars first learn about Gregor Mendel and how to make Punnett squares. Then they extract DNA from a strawberry in a lab with included conclusion...

Second graders discuss benefits of keeping physically fit, predict effects of exercise on their bodies, perform various exercises correctly, including push-up, curl-up, and jumping jack, discuss and follow safety practices while...

In this paper clips instructional activity, students solve a word problem where they move paper clips around in cups. Students complete 1 complex problem.

Provide a real world context in which exponential functions are used to determine a eal world phenomena such as compound interest and exponential growth. This lesson should be taught after students have mastered the laws of exponents and...

Combine art, math, language arts, drama, and delicious Jell-o with a instructional activity based on the African folktale Anansi and the Tug o' War. Kids make predictions and discuss plot points of the story before joining in...

All sodium carbonate may not have the same amount of carbonate, but it should have the same percent. Learners write and balance an equation to predict the chemical reaction between sodium carbonate and zinc acetate. Through the lab...

Young scholars explore probability and the process of data analysis and predictions. They participate in two activities, one involving a calculator and one the Internet, in which they make predictions and conduct activities to test...

Students use Ohio census data to solve problems, make comparisons, draw conclusions, and support predictions related to Ohio's population. They interpret and work with pictures, numbers and symbolic information.

Second graders flip coins and tally the outcomes. They play the You May Already Be a Winner! game with cards under their chairs. Some cards are winners, some might be and the others are not. They play to explain the probability concept.

In this math worksheet, students find the likelihood of different outcomes with the use of M and M's candy for the seven questions and fill in the graphic organizer.

In this probability worksheet, 11th graders review basic probability concepts such as chance, probability lines, and possible outcomes. There are 6 problems on here.

Students investigate the principles of probability that can be used to predict hereditary traits.

Students complete a chain of numbers given the outcome. In this geometry instructional activity, student use deductive and inductive reasoning to solve problems. They create a formula and ways to predict numbers in the chain without...

Learners calculate the speed, motion and distance of a projectile. For this geometry lesson, students obtain measurements while calculating velocity. They graph their results and make predictions.

Students discover and predict patterns in a numerical sequence. Through the Internet and video segments, students begin with basic number patterns and extend their knowledge into higher math skills. They will also create new patterns...

Students collect and plot data on a graph. In this statistics activity, students analyze the distribution of a sample and predict the outcome. They find the line of best fit and discuss what would make the sample larger.

Second graders graph M & M's by color. In this graphing lesson plan, 2nd graders first predict how many of each color they think are in a handful of M & M's. Then they graph the amounts of each color on a computer program....

Learners collect experimental data and record it on a frequency table. After accessing an Internet coin toss simulation site they discover that repetition of an experiment may result in different outcomes. They identify the mutually...
