Ninth graders develop an understanding of and the applications for linear equations and their graphical displays. They participate in a cooperative learning activity of matching a graphic display with an equation.

Fourth graders work in groups; collect data in a survey; depict in tables, charts, or graphs the results of the survey; and make predictions. They use creative writing skills and computer skills to generate a greeting card of their own.

Students determine the density of 1 drop of water. For this determining density lesson plan, students determine the mass and volume of a drop of water in the lab using appropriate lab techniques and calculate the density of a drop of water.

Students make a table and plot their data on a graph. In this algebra instructional activity, students graph piecewise functions using the given equations along with the restricted domain. They calculate the rate of change.

In this equal parts worksheet, students, working with a partner, study, formulate and calculate the answers to six word problems or drawings.

Learners explore how changing an angle in a triangle changes the ratio of the sides. They also explore how changing the sides can make changes to an angle in a triangle. Finally, they determine how two different pairs of sides, in the...

Students make equations from everyday data. They create a graph from the equations. Students predict and analyze the results. Students complete the second scenario on their own and turn in their handout.

Students investigate the concepts of polynomial and rational functions. They identify the general patterns used to solve problems. The use of real world contexts in the problems helps to promote engagement and understanding of how the...

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

Students design a rectangular box without a lid that has the largest possible volume using the supplied sheet of centimeter graph paper. They work in groups to construct different size boxes to determine the largest possible volume and...

Middle schoolers speculate on the better rate of pay: a dollar a day for 10 days, or a penny the first day, two pennies the second, doubling each day for 10 days. Start by listening to the story The King's Chessboard, by David Birch....

Examine data and graph solutions on a coordinate plane with this algebra lesson. Young problem-solvers identify the effect of the slope on the steepness of the line. They use the TI to graph and analyze linear equations.

In this algebra worksheet  uses factoring to solve and graph quadratic equations. The three page worksheet contains explanation of topic, worked examples and five practice problems. Answers are not provided. 

Students define functions to be graphed using the Y=key. They demonstrate how to set up a standard viewing screen using Zoom 6. They discuss and explore mathematical questions on a worksheet.

Graph polynomials and identify the end behavior of each polynomial function. The class differentiates between linear, quadratic, and other polynomial equations.

Horses need exercise, too. Scholars create linear equations to model the perimeter of exercise fields for horses. They finish by solving their equations for the length and width of the fields.

Students differentiate between exponential growth and decay. In this algebra instructional activity, students solve exponential equations using properties of exponents. They use the Ti calculator to graph and analyze their...

Learners use, with increasing confidence, problem-solving approaches to investigate and explain mathematical content. They make and test conjectures. They use tables and graphs as tools to interpret expressions, equations, and inequalities.

A short activity that focuses on the normal distribution as a model for data distribution. Using given means and standard deviations, your budding statisticians can use statistical tables, calculators, or other statistical software to...

Here is a lesson containing a great activity based on coordinates, and the perimeters of shapes created using a given set of coordinates. After youngsters creat a shape on a grid based on some coordinate pairs, they must identify which...

In this greatest and least area game instructional activity, learners cut out the cards, draw a card and record the measurement in the length or width column of a graph. When all columns have been filled, they calculate the areas to find...

Upper grade and middle schoolers discuss their favorite TV programs, music, books, etc. Following a lesson on measures of central tendency, learners discuss random sampling. They conduct a survey and use charts and frequency tables to...

Show your class some ways to calculate shape translation. They can consider seven shapes on a coordinate grid. Then, they must turn the shapes on the grid given a set of directions on the slides. I would use this for practice or review.

Students investigate the graphs of six trigonometric functions. They discover how changes in the equation of the basic function affect the graph of the function.
