A great hands-on activity involving adding and subtracting, beginner mathematicians determine how many games can be played with 20 tickets. Instead of tickets, youngsters use 20 counters or linking cubes to represent the amount of...

What happens when your teachers get tired of grading tests and want to use games of chance to determine your grade? How would you decide which game they should play? Learn how to use expected value and standard notation to compare two...

Young scholars investigate the recycling system in the United States by participating in an online activity.  In this environmental care lesson, students research what makes up our trash output in this country and where it goes....

Your sixth and seventh graders deepen their understanding of a number line and adding integers in this concrete, hands-on activity. Learners play "Warehouse Puzzle" and then discuss their game strategies and the characteristics...

Introduce young mathematicians to concepts of financial literacy with this open-ended word problem. With seven dollars to spend during field day and given a list of available items and their prices, children must determine how they want...

Practice basic operations for young mathematicians in fun ways! Using two decks of cards (Ace through 10 plus the joker), learners play "memory" by matching numbers that can be added to make 10 and writing number sentences. In another...

Young scholars explore careers that require math knowledge and solve real life math problems. As a class, they compare and contrast classroom math to real life math and explore the links between algebra, geometry and math skills used in...

Students practice their number snese. In this addition and subtraction instructional activity, students utilize playing cards and assign each card a numerical value in which they either add or subtract from their total. Students play the...

Your statisticians examine the characteristics of conditional probability and the probability of simultaneous independent events. They perform computer activities to find probabilities for simple compound events. They examine the...

Your learners combine their knowledge of real and imaginary numbers and matrices in an activity containing thirty lessons, two assessments (mid-module and end module), and their corresponding rubrics. Centered on complex numbers and...

There are three parts to this lesson on integers. In the first, learners explore positive and negative numbers on an actual painter's tape number line and by playing a "Hot Seat" game. In part two, they view a BrainPop video and work...

Explore the difference between stochastic and deterministic modeling through programming. First have the class write algorithms for relatively simple tasks using pseudocode. Use the Python 2.7 program app to simulate Mendel's Pea Pod...

Students add and subtract integers. In this algebra lesson, students analyze integers using hands on manipulative. They solve problems of addition and subtractions using their signs correctly. They play a game of cards to reinforce the...

Learn how to use a matrix to organize data to solve a problem. This activity uses wins and losses to rank players for an air hockey tournament they wish to have. After practicing some basic matrix operations the class could do the...

Students read the book "Blueberries for Sal" and complete various computation math activities with blueberries. In this computation lesson, students complete number sentences, play guessing games, and solve story problems using...

Students factor trinomials using specific factoring methods. In this algebra lesson plan, students factor equations using the difference of squares and foiling. They play a game to enhance their understanding of factoring.

Learners define and differentiate between experimental and theoretical probability. In this statistic lesson plan, students play the game "Monty Hall" and use probability to come up with the best strategies to play the game.

Students explore the coordinate plane.  In this middle school/Algebra I activity, 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...

Fifth graders explore common factors. In this factorization lesson, 5th graders discover the greatest common factor among two numbers in a game format. Students build on previous knowledge to determine the greatest common factor.

Students use a battery, wires, small light bulb and a light bulb holder to learn the difference between an open circuit and a closed circuit, and understand that electric current only occurs in a closed circuit. They describe the...

Learners apply the concepts of an event occurring to playing a game. In this probability lesson,students differentiate between experimental and theoretical probability.

Sixth graders study addition and subtraction facts. In equal groups, they play a race game to correctly solve addition and subtraction problems. Using a PowerPoint presentation, the teacher demonstrates how to write word problems and...
