There are a number of activities here that look at representing data in different ways. One activity, has young data analysts conduct a class survey regarding a new radio station, summarize a data set, and use central tendencies to...

Students listen to the story, "Harriet Goes to the Circus," to launch into a lesson on positional words, such as over, under, and behind. After clipping out and coloring pictures of circus animals, students place them into a parade line...

Students plot points on the x-y plane using x and y coordinates. They describe how the x and y values relate to the position of the point on the plane. Finally, students plot points that fit a linear relationship and summarize that a...

Get a line on the snakes. The assessment task requires the class to determine the species of unknown snakes based upon collected data. Individuals analyze two scatter plots and determine the most likely species for five...

Population density, it is not all that it is plotted to be. Pupils analyze a scatter plot of population versus area for some of the states in the US. The class members respond to eight questions about the graph, specific points and...

Introduce pupils to the two types of reasoning, inductive and deductive. Classmates work in pairs or small groups to learn the difference between the two and apply these reasonings to develop valid conclusions.

Students calculate the volume of solids. In this calculus lesson, students apply the Disk and Washer Method to solve for the volume of three dimensional objects. They calculate the volume caused by rotation that create...

Students create a quilt, using different patterns. In this geometry lesson, students apply prior knowledge as they use different patterns to help them create a quilt using transformations and geometric shapes.

Students solve quadratic equations using graphs. In this algebra instructional activity, students factor quadratic equations and graph their answer. They discuss the shape of their graph based on the function.

Students identify days, dates, and month on a calendar. In this calendar lesson, students use a blank calendar page and fill in the days of the month. Students recall what they learned on specific days and record that information as well.

Third graders develop their algebraic thinking by recognizing a variety of patterns using concrete objects, numbers, tables, and pictures. In this George and Sam Save for a present lesson, 3rd graders communicate their mathematical...

Learners, after reading an explanation from a NASA Web-based textbook, demonstrate an understanding of the text by using it, along with FoilSim, to complete an activity to graph and interpret the lift equation.

Students use the Internet to do research on the roller coasters at Magic Mountain Amusement Park. They must use mathematical formulas to calculate the highest and fastest coaster at the park.
