In this ice and water worksheet, high schoolers read about the energy needed to transform ice to liquid water. Students solve 3 problems where they calculate the energy needed to melt ice given different scenarios in space.

High schoolers explore the concept of quadratic equations.  In this quadratic equations worksheet, students determine what shifts of a parent graph will look like by describing in sentences.  High schoolers factor quadratic...

Students use a battery, wires, small light bulb and a light bulb holder to learn the difference between an open circuit and a closed circuit, and understand that electric current only occurs in a closed circuit. They describe the...

Learners formulate a definition of tessellations by comparing and contrasting different patterns and shapes of real objects. They discuss the relatioship between shapes and patterns as well as their function in the real world. Students...

Students view a 30-minute video instructional activity 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...

In this logical thinking with geometric shapes worksheet, students write directions for transforming one shape into the next on a web. They write phrases such as "make two sides parallel" or "make all the sides the same length" while...

Students explore the process of decomposition. For this ecology and measurement lesson, students prepare a worm home to be used for vermicomposting. Students weigh a group of worms and the added food, recording this information on a data...

Third graders understand what a line of symmetry is and how to draw symmetrically. In this monster symmetry lesson plan, 3rd graders create an original monster that is symmetrical. Students participate in additional symmetry activities.

Students identify the properties of polygons. In this geometry lesson, students cut out shapes try to construct polygons. Students analyze the shapes and fill out a table of characteristics.

Students identify the quadrants and axis of a coordinate plane. In this algebra lesson, students discover the ocrrect way to graph using the coordinate plane. They discuss the relationship between x and y values, domain and range and...

Students analyze, create, and record repeating patterns. In this geometry lesson, students create shapes using patterns and keep track of the different shapes. They incorporate transformation and reflections into their patterns.

Students investigate and perform reflections and symmetry. In this geometry lesson, students compare and contrast the relationship between reflections and symmetries.

Fifth graders complete a series of graphs by gathering information and using Excel to graph the information.  In this graphing lesson plan, 5th graders graph favorite desserts of the class. Student put their results into the...

Twelfth graders examine multiple aspects of statistics. In this mathematical reasoning lesson, 12th graders solve problems on probability, logarithms, exponential relationships and transforming rectilinear shapes. This resource contains...

Middle and high schoolers identify and analyze fractals and research information using the Internet to locate information about them. They look at fractals in relation to nature and other real world situations. Pupils create several...

Students study area and quadrilaterals. In this multiplication and area lesson plan, students use Polystrip models to change rectangles to form different parallelograms. Students find the area of the models use a Geometer Sketchpad to...

Young scholars examine tessellations and their geometric properties. Students explore the concept of tessellations and lines, planes, angles, and polygons. Young scholars experiment with the area and perimeter of polygons. Students...

...Then the water heater exploded like a bomb. Using a video of an exploding water heater, the resource presents the definitions of energy, potential energy, and kinetic energy to be used in later lessons of the unit.

Twelfth graders review for their analytic geometry test. In this calculus lesson, 12th graders review equations of graphs, relationship between graphs and equations, and transformation of graphs. After the review students are given...

Students examine how a pebble calculator works and compare it to an abacus. After a discussion on the abacus and pebble calculator and how each works, they construct their own pebble calculators. They determine how to represent...

For this transformations worksheet, learners copy the given figures onto grid paper and complete the transformations. Students then find the pictures that show translations, rotations, and reflections. Learners finish with two test prep...

In this math worksheet, students suppose that a function f and its derivative f1 are continuous and that there are constants K, a, and M such that |f(t)|< Keat for t ≥ M.
