Pupils determine the theoretical probability of winning a game of marbles. Individuals compare the theoretical probability to experimental probability for the same game. They continue on to compare two different probability games.

Ninth graders examine money management. They study percentages, inequalities, fixed and variable expense calculations in order to develop an understanding of how these concepts apply to budgeting a lifestyle for a specific career.

Ninth graders examine rates, matrices, histograms, line graphs, data analysis and data presentation in order to develop an understanding of how these concepts apply to a the effects of a specific disease.

Ninth graders determine when work is being done on an object. They define work and calculate work for several examples. They define and give examples of force and distance and define power and calculate power. They determine the...

The Hopewell people of the central Ohio Valley used right triangles in the construction of earthworks. Pupils use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine missing dimensions of right triangles used by the Hopewell people. The assessment task...

Students master the process of applying critical thinking to each and every problem/task that confronts them in their daily undertakings. Further, this activity can serve as a base reference and model for other problems that may arise.

High schoolers engage in a lesson that focuses on analytic geometry. The lesson asked them to apply skills of relating equations when plotting them on the coordinate plane. Students construct the equations using specific criteria and...

Young scholars build and apply concepts of geometry. In this geometry lesson, students create a building using proportions and scale drawings. They use Cabri technology to create a virtual drawing first.

Students construct using Cabri software. In this geometry lesson, students convert between units and apply the correct measurements to build objects. They create the room virtually and manipulate the shapes to the desired measurements.

Students measure using tools they have made. In this algebra lesson, students measure the height and distance using non-traditional measuring methods. They apply their findings to algebra and trigonometry properties of measurements.

Students apply real data to create and calculate algebraic equations. Students create a visual to represent the concentration for one part per million and apply unit analysis to verify measurement computations. Students define the use...

Learners practice the basic principles of probability by conducting an experiment, determining if a game is fair, collecting data, interpreting data, displaying data, conducting analysis, and stating and applying the rule for probability.

Students demonstrate how to find the probability of events. In this probability lesson, students use colored tiles in a paper bag and randomly select one at a time to record the probability.

Middle and high schoolers review topics covered Pre-Algebra. They solve problems questions dealing with exponents, square roots and absolute value. They use the rules of divisibility and identify prime numbers. This two-page on-line...

Expand your knowledge of exponents with an activity that promotes critical thinking and comparison skills. Middle and high schoolers compare numbers written in expanded and exponential form and explain their strategies for solving...

Pupils complete a review learning exercise that highlights the key problems from the first eight lessons in the series. Topics include the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse, as well as finding volume of three-dimensional figures.

Fifth graders investigate the concept of a function in relationship to how it is used. The concept is essential for the future study of Algebra. They apply the use of patterns with its relationship to functions.

Pupils investigate probability.  For this fourth through sixth grade mathematics lesson, students collect, organize and display data in an appropriate chart or graph as they calculate and apply basic probability. 

In this geometry worksheet, learners identify angles formed by intersecting lines. They apply the properties of angles do identify the missing measures. There are 12 questions.

Students identify the measure of missing exterior angles. In this geometry lesson,students define and apply the exterior angle theorem to solve problems. They use Cabri software to create different angles and make investigations.

A jam-packed worksheet has all the topics you would teach in an Algebra II class with a variety of question styles. Starting with function notation and ending with geometric sequences, there really is something for everyone. Each...

Learners define mode, median and mean, and perform mathematical operations to determine these 3 terms. In this statistics/math lesson, students practice memory strategies to help distinguish between mode, median, and mean. Learners apply...

Fifth graders participate in a lesson that is concerned with the mastery of math concepts related to probability. They play a math game that is an adaptation from Rock, Paper, and Scissors.
