Students practice plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane while participating in a discussion about the Possible Or Not worksheet/activity. Students also use the Impossible Graphs worksheet to practice reading a graph,...
Curated OER
60-30-10
Students use ratios and proportions to represent quantitative relationships as they investigate the concept of how percentages are used by designers. Students decorate the same room using three different percentages of colors.
Curated OER
Perimeter and Circumference
Students understand the definitions for perimeter and circumference and know the difference. They then go over sample problems as a class. Students use drill and practice skills to complete activity pages.
Curated OER
A Special Relationship
Students discover the relationships of the lengths of the sides of right triangles and right triangles using a series of drawings on dot paper. They investigate and solve problems of standard (customary and metric units) and non-standard...
Curated OER
Number Base Clocks
Young scholars investigate place value in base ten. In this number sense lesson, students participate in an online lesson at www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/NumberBaseClocks and demonstrate how to convert numbers from base ten to...
Curated OER
Pascal's Triangle
Learners explore the concept of Pascal's Triangle. In this Pascal's Triangle lesson, students use an applet called 'Coloring Multiples' to explore Pascal's Triangle. Learners develop patterns starting with various numbers in Pascal's...
Alabama Learning Exchange
Systems on a Mission
Solve systems of equation problems using four different methods: elimination by addition or subtraction, graphing, elimination by multiplication, and substitution. Middle schoolers are then given a series of "missions" to complete.
Curated OER
Formulas for Volume and Surface Area
Students calculate the volume and surface area of each shape. In this geometry lesson, students use nets and other three dimensional polygons to create visuals of the volume of a shape. They define important vocabulary words...
Curated OER
Antacid Tablet Race
Students complete experiments to determine how rocket fuel is affected by surface area and temperature. They compare the reaction rates of antacid tablets. They discuss their results to complete the instructional activity.
Curated OER
Investigation- On The Surface
Students will examine solids to determine which has the least surface area. They will also understand the use of units, square units, and cubic units. There is also the teaching and application of geometry formulas to perform calculations.
Curated OER
Design Explorations: Frieze Patterns
Students will explore frieze patterns. A frieze pattern is a mathematical concept to classify designs on two-dimensional surfaces, which are repetitive in one direction, based on the symmetries in the pattern. They will explore examples...
Curated OER
Shadow Casting
Eighth graders use a meter stick that is placed on a horizontal surface and an object is moved along it so that the shadow length can be measured at different distances from the light source. They solve real-world problems involving...
