Students explore the concept of GCD and LCM. In this GCD and LCM lesson, students use a CAS program on their graphing calculator to determine the LCD and GCD of polynomials and large numbers. Students use the GCD function to determine the GCD of various fractions such as 3/4 and 17/3.
This instructional activity uses GeoGebra on the Web, or Geometer's Sketchpad to investigate and identify the different properties of sines and cosines. The class learns how the laws of sine and cosine relates to a right triangle and a non-right triangle. They practice using the Pythagorean Theorem to help identify the different ratios of the triangle.
Sixth and seventh graders study the components of a deck of cards and conduct an initial experiment in the probability of drawing various types of cards from a deck. They play two rounds of poker to discover the probability of drawing several card scenarios. Afterward, they write analysis papers based on their findings.
Young scholars examine the issues of gender discrimination, careers, and gender roles. They read and discuss an article, prepare a proof of the Pythagorean theorem as a class, and develop a creative representation of Pythagoras' ideas.
Learners explore the concept of number theory. They discuss an assortment of number theory topics such as prime numbers, composite numbers, GCF, modular arithmetic, and others in a lecture style discussion. Pupils view videos about these topics as well.
