Young scholars explore ruby-throated hummingbirds.  In this cross-curricular hummingbirds lesson, students listen to the book The Mystery of the Missing Hummingbirds and choose related topics to research with a partner. Young...

Students investigate technology and its purpose in the workplace. In this geometry lesson plan, students design and build a paper towel structure to investigate motion and forces. They are given a restricted weight and asked to build...

Students solve systems of equations. In this algebra lesson, students graph lines and identify the point of intersection. They identify the function to see if it is a function.

Students solve problems with matrices. In this algebra activity, students find the inverse of a matrix. They calculate the determinant and solve for the identity.

Students find the roots of quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson, students solve radical equations and identify the positive and negative roots. They graph and analyze their functions.

Perform transformations on exponential functions! Teach your class how to perform dilation, compression, and translation. They graph exponential functions using the TI Calculator.

Learners relate projectile motion to parametric equations as they identify the velocity and angle of a projectile. They create a picture on the navigator to visualize the word problem.

Third graders use pattern blocks of one shape at a time to try to create a similar shape. They compare the perimeter of the new figure with the perimeter of the original shape and look for a pattern. Students use the pattern to predict...

Students identify units of measurement. In this measurement lesson, students predict the length and width of their hands and feet. Students discuss their findings and if their predictions were correct.

Students observe, measure, and record the properties in making objects stick together using science tools. For this science lesson, students explore with their senses while mixing flour and water. Additionally, students share their...

Fourth graders are introduced to the various types of measurements. Using a recipe, they practice measuring out the correct amount of ingredients while making the food. They also practice using a scale and following the directions on a...

Students design models to simulate actual events using various random devices. They estimate the likelihood of a particular outcome using results of simulation. In addition, they simulate the births of three children to a using a coin.

Learners participate in playing many games to determine if they are fair or not. They create their own game that is fair to play with their classmates.

Students explore and define the concept of probability. They utilize a random number generator to determine the fairness of a game. Internet and printable versions fo the activities are included.

Students explore the ways Geometry can help solve probability problems. Students describe platonic solids and practice calculating probability using an online resource. They construct dice with various numbers of sides to demonstrate...

young scholars convert the temperature readings from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit. they predict and create a graph of what the graph of altitude (x-axis) versus temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (y-axis) might look like.

Students discover fractions by creating models. In this fractions lesson, students read Give Me Half! by Stuart J. Murphy and view a video about what fractions actually represent. Students divide a square piece of paper a certain amount...

Students identify the quadrants and axis of a coordinate plane. In this algebra instructional activity, students discover the ocrrect way to graph using the coordinate plane. They discuss the relationship between x and y values, domain...

Students gain practice in the analysis of various types of graphs common in daily life. These examples often use graphic images like charts, graphs, tables, and pictures to supplement learning.

In this central tendency worksheet, high schoolers answer 30 short answer questions about data sets. Students find the median, mean, mode, and range of data sets.

Sixth graders investigate the forces that move certain objects.  In this physics lesson, 6th graders design and create paper flying objects using origami methods, which they practice flying in different conditions.  Students...

Third graders analyze angles and determine if they are acute, right, or obtuse. For this angles lesson, 3rd graders study the definition and characteristics of each angle. Students then do a worksheet to identify the name of the angle.

Learners collect data, organize and analyze the data and compare it to real life scenarios. This assignment requires two class periods.

High schoolers discover properties of parallelograms as they construct a parallelogram using Cabri Jr. They will measure angles and side lengths of their construction and determine the relationship between the diagonals of a...
