In this problem solving worksheet, learners calculate and solve 52 questions or equations having to do with a variety of math concepts and strategies.

Youngsters make a mental assessment of electricity-consuming appliances in their homes and then evaluate them for the amount of energy consumed. They learn how to use power meters and measure the electrical consumption of several...

One of the most recognizable commercial melodies was written in 1977, and led to gastronomical relief around the world. Scholars use Alka Seltzer tablets to measure reactants and calculate the chemical equation for the reaction of NaHCO3...

Mammals of the ocean unite! Or not. The 20th installment of a 23-part NOAA Enrichment in Marine sciences and Oceanography (NEMO) program investigates how warm-blooded marine mammals survive in water. In the class activity, learners use...

Teach solving absolute value inequalities through inquiry. Groups use their knowledge of absolute value and solving inequalities to find a solution set to an absolute value inequality. Working collaboratively encourages discussion,...

Tenth graders investigate the use of a GPS. In this math lesson, the students will use a GPS type system to determine positioning in two dimensions.  They will complete questions out of a student workbook.  

Learners work in a cooperative group of three to solve algebraic equations with roles assigned for manipulator, recorder, and checker. They utilize hands-on learning materials imbedded in the lesson plan.

Students solve weight equations. For this equations lesson, groups of students weigh and separate pennies to find information necessary to solve simultaneous equations. The teacher provides equations based on the weight of pennies before...

Students explore how the brain works. In this nervous system lesson, students create a network of "neurons" to simulate how the nervous system and the brain work together.

Students investigate the graphs of six trigonometric functions. They discover how changes in the equation of the basic function affect the graph of the function.

In this math worksheet, students find the solutions to the problems that involve solving equations with and without rational expressions.

Students examine the effects of radon on their breathing. They review the anatomy of the respiratory system before completeing this lesson. They also complete equations to show how carbon dioxide forms in their body.

Students discover through this activity that all organisms are composed of water. They find that 70 percent of their bodies are made up of water that is in thier cells and blood, and not free-flowing throughout their body.

In this algebra learning exercise, students solve problems involving functions, systems and conics. They simplify radicals and graph parabolas identifying the focus and ellipse. There are 20 questions.

In this algebra worksheet, students solve linear inequalities. They graph their solution on a coordinate plane. There are 6 questions with answer key.

Learners learn that speed is a function of time and distance, a quadratic equation can be used to figure out the path of fireworks, a photographer can use Algebra to figure out how many rolls he can afford if he needs twice as much of...

Students create a table of ordered pairs, using variables (dependent and independent), writing equations, converting metric and standard measurements for distance using mileposts.

Young scholars solve quadratic equations using graphs. In this algebra lesson plan, students factor quadratic equations and graph their answer. They discuss the shape of their graph based on the function.

Students perform an experiment with different sizes of followers (from an easy to follow set of teacher directions) and record their observations. They test the rotations of the driver compared to the rotations of a follower and put the...

Students collect information and use a line to represent it. In this algebra lesson plan, students investigate real world data to see if it makes a line. They graph the line comparing the relationship of the x axis with that of...

Students, after entering the given conditions into FoilSim, apply calculus techniques to verify predictions.

Use this worksheet as a warm up, a refresher exercise, or a practice after a more detailed lesson on graphing linear inequalities in two variables. Start with boundaries that are horizontal or vertical, then move into graphs with...

Start this activity with a brief description of how to solve absolute value inequalities. A space is provided to help classify the inequalities into types (greater than, less than, or equal to) and for learners to show how to graph their...

Fourth graders find the range, mode, median, and mean for each of the data sets (height and shoe size). They discuss which measure of central tendency for each data set best represents the class and why. Students graph the shoe size and...
