Students define fractals and patterns. They explore how a seemingly random process can result in a pattern. Students practice probability and fractions skills by playing the chaos game online.

Learners shuffle cards identifying different patterns. In this algebra instructional activity, students investigate the accuracy of the card shufflers in a casino. They discuss out-shuffle, faro shuffle and magicians mixing cards to...

Students explore the coordinate plane.  In this middle school/Algebra I lesson, students use dice with numbers and signs to play a game in which they must locate points on a coordinate plane.  Students work in teams to place...

Learners investigate data collection and analysis.  In this Algebra I lesson, students create a scatter plot and find the equation of best fit in a simulation of a leaking water pipe.

Explore logarithms and logarithmic regression. Young mathematicians first learn about inverse functions and about the logarithm function family. They take their newfound knowledge to use logarithmic functions to model situations and...

Students explore the Mandelbrot Set. They are introduced to the concept of a complex number and function in order to motivate the discussion of Julia and Mandelbrot sets. Students investigate fractals and how they are built.
