Is it any wonder that young scholars are suspicious? We lead, sometimes drag, them through Algebra I insisting they must follow the order of operations. We make them learn the "hard way" of doing an assignment one day only to show them...

Using a 'news report' approach, students investigate the slope of various stairways on the school campus and report on wheelchair accessibility and adherence to the Americans with Disabilities Act. (PowerPoint Included) An extension of...

The purpose of this lesson is to help students apply math concepts of solving systems of equations to real life situations. The students will use the three methods of graphing, substitution, and elimination to solve the system of...

Students will work in small groups to analyze a topographical map of the Fiery Gizzard hiking trail on the Cumberland Plateau in southeastern Tennessee. They will use the map key to determine distance traveled and elevation gained to...

Investigate finding the midpoint of a line segment and derive the formula for the midpoint of two points on a coordinate plane. This lesson plan was created by exemplary Alabama Math Teachers through the AMSTI project.

This lesson uses graphing to help young scholars understand that pi is a constant and is the slope of the line graphed on a circumference vs. diameter graph.This lesson plan was created as a result of the Girls Engaged in Math and...

The purpose of this lesson is to help students see the real world application of slope. The students will view a movie clip of slope, calculate the slope of stairs in the school building, and analyze results.This lesson plan was created...

Students will participate in this discovery activity intended for them to uncover the role each variable plays in the graph of a line in the form y = mx + b. Students will actually demonstrate lines in slope intercept form on a life size...

This MathWorld tutorial provides detailed overviews of the concepts and theorems associated with geometry. Most of the Math World sites are extensive and some require higher math knowledge to understand, links to terms and topics are...
