Students study the egg code to learn about sea ice. In this sea ice lesson, students discuss and view a diagram to learn about the egg code when describing sea ice and its thickness. Students work in groups to play a game using the egg...

Students explore inequalities. In this Algebra I activity, students solve and graph linear inequalities involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.  Students use inequalities to solve and graph real-world problems.

Students investigate the use of multiplication and division of whole numbers to solve problems including equivalent ratios and rates.

Students figure out the mileage from one state to another using a map. In this map lesson, students look at the scale factor and turn it into a fraction. They measure the distance between two cities and use the proportion to find the...

Students create and give oral proposals for the construction of a gazebo using a blueprint created with Geometer's Sketchpad. They then build a gazebo model using the blueprints created and provide evidence why it should be selected for...

Students practice figuring percentages by solving written shopping problems.  For this consumer math lesson, students read several scenarios dealing with items on sale and must figure out the new price.  Students check their...

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.

Eighth graders solve real world problems.  In this solving real world problems lesson plan, 8th graders decorate a school cafeteria for a dance.  Students determine the number of balloons needed to put a balloon every foot for...

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.

Young scholars recognize the correlation between the trash they dispose of around their school and the environmental hazards that face wildlife, specifically the Laysan albatross. They determine three ways that they can help the...

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.

This Jeopardy game challenges students to convert fractions to percents and decimals as well as percents to fractions and decimals. Play with up to 10 teams.

In this game, you must put fractions, decimals, and percents in the correct order. These appear on the blooms of a flower stem, which at full growth, have seven blooms. When these are in the correct sequence, you can harvest the flower,...
