Bring about the change you want to see in the world  or at least in your lesson plans. Young mathematicians learn about translation and reflections by applying them to polygons on the coordinate plane. Results provide data to...

Money doesn't grow on trees—it grows on walls. Using pictures of a Guggenheim art installation consisting of one-dollar bills glued to a wall, future mathematicians consider the monetary value of the bills used in the installation....

Students explore how math and science are used in various careers. They research individuals who have contributed to the specified career field. Students examine mathematicians and scientists who have made contributions in their career.

Learners explore what a proof is, how and why mathematicians create them and compose essays on how reason and logic are employed in the workplace. They explore whether any three lines can make a triangle and attempt to verify Goldbach's...

First, middle school mathematicians read phrases and translate them into a variable expression. Then, they make statements that explain expressions. On a second page, they combine variables to simplify expressions, and then they...

Learning about proportions through measuring and mapping distances is the focus of this real-world math lesson that doubles as an activity. Mathematicians complete a course designed to measure and map locations in order to put the...

Not the most attractive instructional activity, but useful nonetheless. A chart is displayed for mathematicians to fill in the power, base number, exponent, the repeated multiplication problem, and the total value. They complete this...

Harry needs a new wardrobe. Mathematicians watch a Cyberchase episode in which Harry uses a $100 budget for a fashion update. This anticipatory video prepares your class for a lesson in the use of two variables to solve real-world...

In this geometry worksheet, young mathematicians apply the formulas for the area and perimeter of polygons and circles to solve a variety of skills practice and problem-solving questions.

In this bedroom redecoration project, your young mathematicians become interior designers. They plan, draw, and determine finances for the project. They apply their knowledge of working with decimals, geometric shapes, and problem...

If you dropped a needle on a lined sheet of paper what is the probability that the needle will cross one of the lines on the page?  Surprise your class with how calculating this probability can approximate pi. This question is known...

Here is an interesting "trick" your young mathematicians can perform. They are taught how to find any number's "digital root," by following a set of detailed instructions. The process works for any number, and is the type of math puzzle...

Need more detail in showing your class how to solve two-step equations and proportions? This lesson plan outlines the steps young mathematicians need to solve simple equations and check their results. 

Young mathematicians solve and complete 24 different types of problems. First, they replace each with a greater than or less than symbol to make a sentence true. They determine whether each sentence is true of false, and also order the...

Learners simplify simple equations. Using a maze game, young mathematicians speculate about the size of different algebraic values and what other equivalent expressions might look like. It is a nice beginning activity for introducing...

We landed on the moon with less computing capabilities than you can find in this app! Here is a multiple function calculator that takes all the power you get from a handheld and adds the wonderful large screen that only a tablet can...

Students research a famous scientist or mathematician, design a stamp to honor their work, and write persuasively about why this person and their work should be honored on a stamp.

Seventh graders, in an introductory algebra class, code and decode messages using substitution ciphers. Role-playing as mathematicians, they work in groups to decipher several messages, one of which translates to "math is awesome."

Discover the joy and excitement of improving your math fluency through four different puzzles. Combine those with 25 different ways to represent numbers and you have hours of enjoyment that can be fun outside of the classroom as well.

What middle schooler wouldn't want to design their own dream room? This project walks them systematically through the steps of calculating wall area, purchasing paint and carpet, designing a ceiling pattern, hanging shelves for storage,...
