Students measure using the Pythagorean Theorem. In this geometry lesson, students solve right triangles using the properties of the Pythagorean theorem. They apply the same knowledge to solving story problems.

Students calculate the distance of two objects, and rewrite numbers using scientific notation. For this algebra lesson, students solve linear equations and plug the values back into the equations to check their answers. They write small...

Learners explore the different properties of conics. In this algebra instructional activity, students calculate the midpoint of a line, the distances between two points as they get ready to find the focus and directrix in eclipse and...

Students define properties of fractions and solve for them. In this algebra lesson, students rewrite fractions from mixed numbers to improper fractions. They reduce fractions using the GCF and convert the denominators correctly when...

Students examine hurricanes. In this web-based meteorology lesson, students study the relationship between ocean temperature and hurricane intensity. They differentiate between intensity and frequency of hurricanes.

Learners solve quadratics using factoring. In this algebra lesson, students rewrite word problems and use properties of quadratic equations to solve.

Students calculate the area of different polygons. In this geometry lesson, students find the area for trapezoids, rhombuses and kites.

Students calculate the tangent ratio given a right triangle. In this trigonometry lesson, students use a right triangle and the Pythagorean Theorem to solve problems.

Students participate in an adding game. In this adding numbers lesson, students calculate the sum of the dice and remove a number from their activity sheet.  Students who first removes the numbers is the winner.

Ninth graders review the information that they have already learned with regard to linear equations and graphical representations. They then assist in combining equations with a graphical element and complete various graphs with this...

High schoolers identify and interpret that economic activity involves making choices in the face of scarcity, therefore making choices involves a cost. They also identify that individuals interact in markets by inducing one another,...

Students view a 30-minute video lesson to discover information about the characteristics of frogs and toads. They then transform themselves into frogs and participate in a Jumping Frog Jubilee. They work in groups of three to measure and...

Students explore the physical properties of eggs. In this scientific observation instructional activity, students define characteristics of eggs, measure eggs vertically and horizontally, and use the scientific method to perform simple...

Students identify geometric patterns in quilts. In this geometry lesson, students view various types of quilts and identify the geometric shapes. Students construct one hundred patch paper quilts using geometric shapes.

Tenth graders investigate parallel lines and the angles formed when cut by a transversal. In this geometry instructional activity, 10th graders construct perpendicular lines and discuss midpoint, segments and perpendicular bisectors....
