Students calculate and record batting average, hits, and at bats. In this Batting Practice: Using Math to Calculate Baseball Statistics activity, students utilize mathematical formulas to determine the career statistics of baseball...

Students improve speaking confidence when using difficult question forms. This lesson focuses on helping students explain how to engage in this kind of social conversation. A worksheet imbedded in this plan provides practice.

Students are introduced to plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane seen several categories of functions, including lines and parabolas

Students describe safe practice when doing field and lab investigations in a estuary or wetland. They create a model of an estuary and describe their value and function. They participate in field study in which they collect and analyze...

Second graders read the rules of how they can balance the scale by placing beans in the square, circle, and the triangle. Next, they balance 12 beans using the scale and then try to balance it with 15 beans, and then 18 beans. They then...

Pupils practice performing various accounting functions. Given analysis records, they prepare cost and revenue analysis based on specific criteria. They complete handouts and review their answers as a class. They also discuss the need...

In this math vocabulary puzzle, students use a set of definition clues given to solve a crossword puzzle. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

A seven-step instructional activity introduces the emergence of computer sciences and the contributions women made to the profession after World War II. Several science experiments offer pupils a hands-on learning experience that...

How long does it take to pay off a loan? Pupils use a graph to model the sequence associated with paying off a loan. Using the graph, learners determine the initial value and the common difference of the arithmetic sequence. The learners...

If the line fits, use it. Using a Geogebra interactive, pupils plot points and try to find the best fit line. They assess the linear fit by analyzing residuals. A radio button allows participants to show the regression line and the...

Solve problems using the fundamental theorem. In this calculus activity, high schoolers solve problems using theorems and proving theorems. They derive the fundamental theorem as they study it.

Learners calculate the limits of functions. In this calculus lesson, students find the left and right handed limits of different functions. They use the Ti Navigator to drag the function around as they study limits.

Young mathematicians solve problems involving limits in this calculus lesson. They identify the value of x as the limit approaches positive and negative infinity. Learners study the magnitude as x increases in value.

Learners match a given velocity graph and sketch the corresponding position graph using a graphing calculator. After collecting data from their everyday life, young scholars use specific functions on their calculators to create graphs...

Students identify positive and negative angles using the Unit Circle. In this pre-calculus lesson, students identify the different angles on a unit circle using the coordinate plane and the four different quadrants as a guide. They...

Students are being evaluated on their math skills. In this algebra lesson, students review basic math skills and are being reviewed for leaning skills that may enhance or inhibit their learning skills. They are scored based on a special...

Learners integrate locomotor movements with nutrition information. They solve simple math functions related to the calories-per-gram contents of each nutrient and perform fitness activities to match the number of calories contained in...

New skills are developed as students use graphing calculators and ranger technology to capture and graph the sequence of bounces a ball makes when dropped. After recording the height of four or more bounces, they use the collected data...

Studetns use a spreadsheet to organize data on the sides of a triangle. They use the Pythagorean Theorem and the If then spreadsheet function to decide whether the three sides determine a right triangle. Learners work individual...

Second graders learn about plant systems and how plants grow and function. For this plant lesson plan, 2nd graders collect data based on roots, leaves, terrariums, plant uses, and locations of certain kinds of plants. They fill out...

Students explore the concept of quadratic equations.  In this quadratic equations lesson plan, students find the roots or zeros of quadratic equations using the quadratic formula.  Students give examples of functions with 2...

Learners study the parts and functions of the human eye. They create dodecagons which are twelve-sided figures with twelve equal angles and share these with the class so that each student can begin to see how many different illusions can...

Young scholars engage in the use of technology to investigate the mathematical concepts of probability and graphing. They use the skills of predicting an outcome to come up with reasonable possibilities. Students also practice using a...
