Students study relationships between angles, side lengths, perimeters, areas and volumes of similar objects. In this lesson students also create and critique inductive and deductive arguments concerning congruency, similarity and the...

Students create and color a one-patch quilt design based upon a regular hexagon. They examine quilts and photos of quilt designs, read a handout, and complete their quilt design on a worksheet.

Students compare the price and quality of different kinds of plastic kitchen wraps and then rank them from best to worst. They take into account how well it comes out of the roll, if it seals well, it is tangles, how much weight it...

Students view a right triangle displayed by the teacher. Students measure legs and the interior angles of the triangle. They look for a pattern or relationship between the legs and angles. Students use pegboards and string to create more...

Pupils use triangles to find the length and slope of each side. After connecting the vertices, they add points based on their specific instructions. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to complete a worksheet to end the lesson.

Students explore transformations.  In this mathematical transformations lesson plan, students define quadrilaterals, convert centimeters to meters, and complete a transformations worksheet.

Students solve exponential functions and inequalities. In this algebra lesson plan, students find the roots of equations and use it to graph and evaluate exponential functions. They simplify exponents using the law of exponents.

Students investigate one, two and three dimensional objects. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between different shapes of objects and write equations to represent each. They start with what they already know and prove...

Students analyze different polygons by shapes and sides. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between similar and congruent polygons. They name the different polygons based on the number of sides.

Learners estimate the time needed by the Corps of Discovery to complete its expedition. They problem solve and estimate the distance covered by the Corps on its expedition. They compare their findings to the expedition's actual rates...

Young scholars explore tessellations as well as various types of polygon. Students examine tessellating patterns in the world around them. Young scholars examine tessellations by creating their own tessellations and completing the...

Students experiment with velocity, ratios, and rates. In this data management lesson, students throw a dart with and without using an atlatl and collect and record various data. Students construct ratios based on the data and determine...

Students create a bridge using engineering and geometric concepts. In this geometry lesson, students identify the missing measures of polygons sides and angles. They work together to solve real life situation using problem solving...

Students investigate some of the mathematical concepts involved in the study of circles. They first practice finding the circumference of a circle by finding the diameter and performing the calculation. The lesson plan delivery is done...

In this geometry math review worksheet, students respond to 37 questions that serve as a review of geometry skills.

Middle schoolers solve problems dealing with exponents. In this algebra lesson, students solve problems using interactive online problems. They create visuals and gain a better understanding of the concepts.

Students calculate the slope of the equation In this algebra instructional activity, students graph coordinate pairs of linear equations and identify the relationship between x and y values and slope.  They differentiate between...

Students use fractals to analyze nature. In this geometry lesson, students work in groups using technology and math to communicate. They identify where in the real world fractal can be seen.

Students analyze cloud cover and to compose written conclusions to a given related scenario. They submit a letter of response and a report detailing their calculations and conclusions.

Middle schoolers define the purpose of several different types of boats. They develop a list of materials one would ideally use in the construction of a particular type of boat. Students work cooperatively in a group to decide what type...

Young scholars explore the concept of modular arithmetic and cryptography. In this modular arithmetic and cryptography lesson plan, students use applets to explore modular arithmetic using a clock and Caesar Ciphers. Young scholars...

Students solve problems using patterns. In this algebra lesson, students identify the relation, domain and range of a function. They graph functions using coordinate pairs.

Students are introduced to some basic concepts of geometry. They explain that the definition of a triangle is a figure with three sides, three angles, and three points. Triangles can be named by using three points in their correct sequence.

Students study Pascal's triangle. They construct their own version of Pascal's triangle, and relate some of the uses for it. While working through this process, students practice their integer multiplication and division skills.
