Teach your class to think outside the box. Scholars use the concept of equality to solve a problem in the assessment task. They determine how to use a scale to identify the one box out of a set of nine boxes that is heavier than the others.

Find the common denominator between prime factors, factor trees, and the distributive property. Scholars learn to find the least common multiple and greatest common factor of pairs of numbers. They rotate through stations to connect...

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.

Students 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 apply them.

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...

Students 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.

Sixth graders examine how to select samples and apply them to an experiment. In this sampling lesson, 6th graders use a bag of yellow and blue cubes to take a sample. They predict how many of each color there are the bag. They set up and...

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 learning exercise, students 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 plan,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...

Who knew the sum of a number's digits gives such interesting information? The 18th installment of a 21-part module has scholars investigate division by three and nine. After looking at several examples, they develop divisibility tests...

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...

Create your own adventure story ... well, not really. The fifth lesson in a 21-part series has pairs create story contexts for division problems. The lesson presents a step-by-step process for pupils to follow in writing such stories.

Students solve problems using fractals. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify properties of fractals. They find patterns in their surroundings and relate it to the real world and math.
