Students examine the patterns that exist in Pascal's Triangle. They explore multiples and factors. Sudents use an applet to create and color the multiples in Pascal's Triangle.

Learners discover patterns and sequences. They use a website to explore patterns and fractals. Students share their discovery of fractals and their patterns with the class. They develop a list of patterns used in everyday life.

Students examine a problem and develop the best method to arrive at the solution. In this math lesson plan, students apply basic math skills by coming up with the correct steps to solve a word problem. ...

Students investigate the concepts that are related to finance and how it is used in the world. They take part in activities that are focused around the use of a spreadsheet while using a T-chart to simulate a ledger of credits and debits.

Young scholars calculate the theoretical and empirical probability by dropping coins on a grid. They record their data and compare the theoretical and empirical data. Students make predictions about the results before conducting the...

Students explore expected value, are introduced to the concept of varying payoffs, and have used a computer simulation of a "real world" example where expected value is used

Pupils examine statistics and data analysis concepts from the practical questions that arise in everyday life.

Students collect and analyze data about wind speed. They build a Lego wind sail and measure the wind speed with a rotation sensor. They use software to analyze the data.

Students research, predict and offer solutions regarding factors that affect current or future food crops could result in economic, political or social changes.

Middle schoolers build a working definition of a regular fractal, they measure the concepts of dimensions and scale, they explore the concept of a logarithm and they attempt to solve simple exponential equations for the exponent both by...

Pupils study and research irregular fractals and construct a few based on their research. Students practice pattern recognition skills and plane geometry skills calculating dimensions on the Fractured Pictures activity.
