Young scholars experiment with locating oil reserves. In this conservation lesson, students use a cardboard box to create sand, rocks, and an oil reserve (water balloon). They use a probe to dig around in the box to find the oil reserve...

Students conduct an experiment.  In this oil and natural gas lesson, students learn how geoscientists identify and explore reserves of petroleum.  Students make a model of an oil reserve, record how much it would cost to drill...

Fifth graders create a database about the geography of the United States. The access to a computer is essential for this lesson. The outcome is that technology is used as a tool to measure student understanding of geographical locations....

Middle and high schoolers identify and analyze fractals and research information using the Internet to locate information about them. They look at fractals in relation to nature and other real world situations. Pupils create several...

Fourth graders conduct a class survey on the number of pets that the 4th grade owns and they record that data in their math notebooks. They make a bar graph displaying the results using a spreadsheet through Microsoft Excel.

Young scholars jog to where their classroom teacher went to college using a scale that best fits their situation. They log miles on a chart until students reach their destination. Young scholars use the colleges mascot as the graph...

Students discover how to employ number lines by estimating the number of tiles in a jar. After writing their estimates on sticky notes, they place them in order on a number line mat. Included in the lesson are various activities and...

Ninth graders graph linear equations and inequalities in two variables and then, they write equations of lines and find and use the slope and y-intercept of lines. They use linear equations to model real data and define to define the...

Ninth graders identify and describe the x-intercept as the place where the line crosses the x-axis as it applies to football. They create their own differentiations to reinforce the distinction between the x-intercept and the...

Students review information about how to multiply polynomials and then work in pairs to complete a worksheet. They use graphing calculations to help them solve their math problems.

Pupils decide on their favorite apple and together make a graph.

First graders graph a data set. Given a set of buttons, 1st graders sort them into categories using specific attributes. They graph the number of buttons in their set based on their attributes using a variety of graphs. Students share...

Students identify spider parts, and distiguish between web building and wandering spiders. They complete a spider webquest.

students emulate a real world problem and model it with mathematics working in a small group. Observe and facilitate discussion as the groups use various strategies, such as (graphs, brainstorming, tables, and dialogue.
