Learners translate numbers, from real life scenarios of throwing a ball vertically upward, into a given formula so the remaining variable is the solution.

Collaborative learners interpret a quadratic expression written in different forms in this task centered on throwing horseshoes.

Use mathematics to help the football team. Pairs brainstorm how to approach finding a solution to a problem to help the quarterback complete more passes. By researching and collecting data, the teams derive an equation to represent the...

This is a wonderful exercise for learners to apply their critical thinking skills along with their knowledge of quadratic functions and parabolas. Young mathematicians investigate a real-world scenario about the height a baseball reaches...

Students solve simple math computations while practice their throwing skills. They explore how to subtract, add,divide,and multiply, while playing a fun fitness oriented game.

Students combine movement and practice with place value in this integrated lesson. The teacher calls out a place value (e.g., tens, millions, etc.) and the student throws to the sign with that place value highlighted.

Students recognize lines and corners as properties of geometric figures and identify shapes based on these characteristics. They move through a variety of stations practicing tossing, throwing, tallying and recording combinations of shapes.

Future mathematicians use an interactive to see how changing the size of a basketball court and the size of a region in the court affects the probability that a ball will randomly fall within the specified region. No calculations are...

Find heights by measuring time. Teams collect data to determine the height that a tennis ball is thrown. Classmates measure the height of the initial release of the ball and how long it stays aloft. Using a projectile motion equation,...

To foul or not to foul, that is the basketball question. High schoolers look at the probability that fouling out a player and allowing free throws yields a better outcome than allowing the original shot. The resource provides a...

With so many tons of trash going into landfills each year, your environmentalists can calculate how much the average person is tossing away. This activity has a series of questions not only requiring math, but a conscious thought of how...

Games and activities are wonderful for igniting interest in nearly any topic. With a pair of dice, your class will practice their basic math and social skills at the same time. Learners battle it out to see who can roll only odds or only...

Hold a free-throw shooting challenge in your engineering class! Each team must design a contraption that will fire off a "robot arm" or, more specifically, a catapult, to send a Ping-Pong ball into a basket. Use this as an opportunity to...

Learners determine the percentage increase in output of solid waste in the U.S. They determine the length of time it takes for throw away items to decompose.

Students record each other running, walking, throwing a ball, or doing a similar activity for a set distance. They import the video clips into iMovie. They compute how long it took in miles per hour.

Review and use standard units of measure with your math class. They move from station to station estimating and measuring length, volume, weight, and area. At each station they estimate and measure, and then compute the difference...

Now this lesson sounds fun! Students throw a ball, film it as it soars through the air, and use a spreadsheet to collect data. A scatterplot is created to produce a quadratic regression equation, an equation in vertex form, and an...

Each day, people throw currency away in different ways because of a lack of financial knowledge. Introduce your learners to the importance of financial literacy and assess their understanding of banking and personal finance.

Who's on second? Young mathematicians use a diagram of a baseball field to find the distance a catcher must throw to reach second base. A brief video of such a play during a baseball game sets the stage for the assignment.

Students throw bean bags at stacks of blocks. They record the results and write the corresponding mathematical equations.

Students work cooperatively as a team and accurately throw a Frisbee. In addition, students explore fitness components and different systems of the human body.

In this probability worksheet, learners complete an activity in which they then throw the die 50 times and record the number of even and odd outcomes. Prior to throwing their die, they make an estimation of how many even and odds they...

After analyzing objects arranged in rectangular arrays, youngsters write addition sentences to describe each. Model this for the class before they start, as the idea isn't completely clear. Note the third question may throw some students...

Once scholars have a grasp on adding fractions, it's time to throw some mixed numbers into the equation! Each of these 14 addition problems has one mixed number and one proper fraction. Skills here include finding a common denominator,...
