In this algebraic solutions instructional activity, 9th graders solve 10 different sets of simultaneous equations. First, they solve one of the equations such that one variable is defined in terms of the other. Then, students take the...

Second graders explore and develop algebraic formulas based on their own ages as the known variable. This is a clever, and simple, way to introduce the concept of algebra to young students.

Practice makes perfect! Learners estimate the least squares fit line for a set of data. They understand error involved in least squares fit lines, and solve application problems using least square fit lines.

Learners practice solving algebra equations utilizing model tiles.  In this algebra lesson, students observe a clip from the movie Homeward Bound and break the action down into an algebraic equation.  Learners solve an algebra...

Students explore number sense by completing a statistical analysis game in class. In this data graphing lesson plan, students utilize visual references such as colored cubes and tiles to map out the results of an experiment outcome such...

Pupils explore number relationships by participating in a data collection activity. In this statistics lesson, students participate in a role-play activitiy in which they own a scrap material storefront that must replenish its...

In this paper helicopter activity, students design and experiment making a paper helicopter to explore how some things fall and how varying the size of the rotor blades affect the way a helicopter spins.

Young scholars discover soil and Earth movement by experimenting in class.  For this Earth Science lesson, students utilize a stream table, soil, graduated cylinder and water to create a re-enactment of a landslide.  Young...

Pupils estimate the least squares fit line for a set of data. They understand error involved in least square fit lines. They solve application problems using least square fit lines.
