Students identify the equation to represent a circle. In this algebra instructional activity, students review properties of conics and how they are related. they use a robot to create a visual of circles and their application to the...

Young scholars calculate measurements using different units and fractions. In this algebra lesson, students measure the path that a robot drives. They use a piece of sting to do their measurement and calculate the circumference of the...

Learners calculate the traveled speed and distance of a robot. In this geometry lesson, students use the distance formula to manipulate and use to solve for the required variable. They calculate answers where two variables are...

Students differentiate functions based on their domain and range. In this algebra lesson, students define function, domain, range and relation. They analyze graphs and coordinate pairs for input and output values making up a function.

Students use the point slope formula to calculate the slope and equation of a line. In this algebra lesson, students identify point on a coordinate plane using a robot. They differentiate between the different quadrants a they follow the...

Students research about cartography and how to be a cartographer. In this math activity, students draw a map of their classroom. They use a robot to explore navigation using a compass rose.

Students are part of a class poll where they choose their favorite food and their favorite toy. In this which has the most lesson, students are given a block to represent their choice. Students then place the block by the picture of...

Students complete experiments to determine how rocket fuel is affected by surface area and temperature. They compare the reaction rates of antacid tablets. They discuss their results to complete the lesson.

Students estimate the altitude of a rocket during several flights. They create their own altitude tracking devise. They examine and discuss their results at the end of the activity.

Students calculate the distance and acceleration of an object. In this algebra lesson, students collect data and create table and graphs to analyze it. They complete a lab as they collect and analyze data on acceleration and distance.

Students explore Newton's laws using CEENBoTs. In this physics lesson plan, students collect data and create tables and graphs. They calculate speed, acceleration and forces using mathematical formulas.

Students create number lines using decimals and whole numbers. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph and solve linear equations. They plot ordered pairs on a coordinate plane correctly.

Students derive the six trigonometric identities. In this trigonometry lesson, students review the parts of a right triangle and use the Pythagorean theorem as a guide to find the trig identities. They find sine, cosine and tangent ratios.

Students derive the six trigonometric identities. In this trigonometry lesson, students find the ratios of sine, cosine and tangent using the right triangle. They use properties of the Pythagorean Theorem to find the trig identities.
