Young scholars investigate probability using coins and dice. They collect data, graph, organize and interpret data. They predict, describe, compare, compute and draw conclusions based on what they observe and record.

Ninth graders examine rates, matrices, histograms, line graphs, data analysis and data presentation in order to develop an understanding of how these concepts apply to a the effects of a specific disease.

Ninth graders view the film "Pay It Forward" and discuss what kind of public campaign is needed to move people to positive action. They consider different ways of presenting information (graphs, visual displays, etc.) as tools for...

Students use logic to locate the primary cases, the people who started the spread of the disease through the population. They graph the data of the number of people infected over time (exchanges) and determine an equation that best fits...

Learners determine how to use the polynomial form of a quadratic equation to find the location of the vertex on a graph. They determine how changes in the coefficients in a quadratic function affect its vertex on a graph. Students find...

Eleventh graders examine a local body of water.  In this science lesson plan, 11th graders collect water samples to test.  Students analyze the data and make conclusions.  Students create tables and graphs of the data.

Pupils explore the concept of daylight. In this daylight lesson, students compare the amount of daylight on a particular day in Anchorage compared with daylight where they live. Pupils color maps of the US according to amount of...

Learners study the anatomy and functions of a heart. In this heart study lesson plan, students read a book about the heart and study a plaster heart model. Learners take their own pulse in various stages of rest as well as active...

Learners analyze a multi-seeded fruit, such as tomato, pepper, squash, watermelon, etc. They remove and count the seeds from the fruit and hypothesize/calculate the reproductive rate of that organism.

Students recognize the mathematical connections between fractions and percents. They develop and study graphs to make connections between their data and what it represents. They write about the connections they have discovered.

Young scholars calculate the speed, motion and distance of a projectile. In this geometry lesson plan, students obtain measurements while calculating velocity. They graph their results and make predictions.

Second graders publish a class cookbook of their own recipes. They explore the nutritional value of foods, calculate the measurements, and prepare a healthy recipe for the class.

Students graph linear equations using intercepts, find y-intercept, find x-intercepts and graph linear equations that use horizontal and vertical lines.

Students graph a quadratic inequality and describe its solution set. They solve a system of quadratic equalities graphically and symbolically and as related to a real-world context.

Young scholars investigate geometric shapes through volume and dimensions. In this geometry lesson, students measure, weigh, and calculate sizes and volume based on estimation and calculation. They review important vocabulary related to...

Students are introduced to the concept of linear functions. Using new terminology, they describe linear functions in sentences and in data tables. Using the internet, they calculate and record answers to problems which are discussed...

Students use SunPath in the yearly mode to investigate seasonal changes in sunrise, sunset, length of day and sun altitude at their own latitude. Sun Path JAVA applet uses equations for a spherical Earth to calculate the sunrise and...

Students collect data for a bouncing ball and select one bounce to analyze. They explore the relationship between velocity, position and acceleration. They seek out connections between the graphs and the physical motion of the ball.

Learners research computer information and use it to find the mean of things.  In this computer skills lesson students are given activities in which they calculate and use a spreadsheet to enter data on the mean of their...

Ninth graders calculate the average speed of their balsa wood airplane. In this physics lesson, 9th graders build their own airplane and make necessary modifications to to make it fly straight. They interpret distance and time graph...

Learners calculate the inverse variation, and speed given the formulas. In this algebra lesson, students investigate properties of conics, focusing on the hyperbola. They identify the distance between the directrix and other parts...

Students graph linear equations using slopes and intercepts. In this algebra lesson, students identify the slope as being positive,negative or undefined. They differentiate between different quadrants on a coordinate plane.

Students convert between two units as they calculate the temperature. In this algebra lesson, students collect data on seasonal climate and create a graph. They make conjectures based on their data collection.

Students explore percent increases and decreases. They calculate the percent increase and decrease. Students use math to solve problems and communicate. They apply the given formula for percent increase/decrease.
