Pupils participate in a game in which they compare fractions and graph the fractions.

Pupils use physical models and graphs in order to solve problems that have their origin in the real world that require algebraic thinking. The words are changed into equations and inequalities in order to be solved. This requires...

Students explore how jelly beans are produced. They discuss the origins of the jelly bean and view a video about how jelly beans are prepared, tested, shaped, finished, and shipped and estimate the amount of jelly beans in a jar and sort...

Students solve problems using the Fibonacci Patterns. In this geometry lesson, students trackthe growing rate of a rabbit population. They collect the data and graph their results. They make predictions based on their results.

Students solve problems using equations. In this algebra lesson, students identify the correct symbols and steps when solving word problems. They graph their lines and analyze the slope using tiles.

Students calculate the maximum and minimum of each function. In this algebra lesson, students collect and graph data to analyze it. They differentiate between the absolute max and min and the maxima and minima of each function.

Students solve and graph linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students solve systems of equations using elimination and substitution. They graph their answer and identify the point of intersection.

Students define a functions and solve problems using functions. In this algebra instructional activity, students differentiate functions from non-functions. They differentiate between polynomials of higher degrees.

Third graders create a model of the solar system. In this solar system lesson plan, 3rd graders create a scale model of the solar system. Working in pairs students solve mathematical problems to correctly measure the distance each planet...

Students construct and solve linear equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students solve equations and graph lines using the slope. They identify the different parts of an equation including the leading coefficient.

Students examine the effect stress due to test anxiety may have on the heart. As part of the experiment, students hypothesize, collect data, graph data, analyze data and formulate an understanding of their personal level of stress and...

Students study information for fish farm workers given in the form of a chart, in order to practice interpreting data while learning about the career of a fisherman. In this data interpretation lesson, students read the chart to find out...

Learners investigate and study logarithmic equations. In this precalculus lesson, students analyze the data behind the function. They define each graph as positive, negative or no correlation. They find the line of best fit.

Learners solve linear equations In this algebra lesson, students create linear equations using integer coefficients greater than one. They graph their solution on a coordinate plane.

Students use a stopwatch to collect information for a scatterplot.   In this fastest legs lessons, students collect data through the taking of measurements, create and find a median number. Students develop an equation and...

Eighth graders experiment with M&M's and a cup attached to a spring to to simulate a bungee jump. They graph the results of the experiment and make predictions for continuing the experiment. They determine the "line of best fit."

Students actively find the line of best fit. They gather their own data and then use a calculator to find the line of best fit, as well as the equation. They see how to use the TI 81 calculator in order to find the line of best fit.

Students write and solve their own story problems. They determine the cost of firewood by the cord. They organize their data in graphs and charts.

In this mathematics worksheet, learners practice finding the coordinates found in the Cartesian graphing style for the three problems.

Third graders investigate cause and effect. In this cause and effect lesson, 3rd graders read a story and determine what are the causes and effects. Students match sentence strips to the make the correct cause and effect sentence....

Young scholars investigate the concept of lung capacity. They use flow meters to measure the maximum capacity of themselves and others. The data is collected in order to make some conclusions concerning the mean of individual lung...

High schoolers investigate the gradient function of a polynomial and they conduct a class discussion about its meaning. Then students use graphing software in order to examine tangents that can be seen visually to aid those who need...

Young scholars investigate the nervous system and how physical distractions influence mental performance. They work in pairs as a researcher and subject and memorize a series of words with no distractions. After repeating the list of...

Fourth graders read the problem and brainstorm for ways to solve the problem - list these on the board for the students to refer to as they solve the problem. They work in pairs and focus on the strategy selected.
