Alegebra amateurs identify the slope and the y-intercept given a linear equation in slope-intercept form by correctly completing some in class problems. They write the linear equation in slope-intercept form that corresponds to the given...

students convert the temperature readings from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit. they predict and create a graph of what the graph of altitude (x-axis) versus temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (y-axis) might look like.

Students identify characteristics of a penny, nickel, dime, and quarter, match the value of coins, and practice using money for a purchase.

Ninth graders graph linear equations and inequalities in two variables and then, they write equations of lines and find and use the slope and y-intercept of lines. They use linear equations to model real data and define to define the...

Analyze data on a graph to answer three questions after a robot race. Learners practice comparing ratios and reading points on a graph. Answers may vary on the last question based on accuracy of graphing. Use the lesson along with...

Students distinguish between wide and narrow manipulatives and sort accordingly. They use construction paper strips, ribbon, fabric strips, books, popsicle sticks and sock puppets.

Young mathematicians read the book, The Doorbell Rang. They examine the necessity of division in everyday life, such as cooking and sharing. They use paper cookies to construct equivalent sets.

Young scholars examine how scientists predict the effects of global climate change. In this environmental science lesson plan, students participate in a discussion about using computer generated data to create climate predictions. Young...

Third graders pictorially represent tenths place with decimal bars and add decimals in the tenths place; students use decimal bars to represent tenths and solve simple addition problems with the tenths place.

Middle schoolers find the area of polygons.  In this area of polygons lesson, students find the area of parallelograms, rectangles, squares, and other polygons.  They identify each given figure and determine the appropriate...

Ninth graders identify and describe the x-intercept as the place where the line crosses the x-axis as it applies to football. They create their own differentiations to reinforce the distinction between the x-intercept and the...

Learners pretend to purchase items at their class store using coins. At the store, they are to state the amount of the item they want to buy by reading the label. They give the cashier the correct amount of coins and are given a mark on...

Students explore how to use graphing calculators.
