Use a vocabulary chart to introduce math functions. The class defines a list of mathematical vocabulary terms on a worksheet, as well as completes equations and expressions. They examine word problems and practice transcribing them into...

Research the interrelationship between math and science. Search the Internet to discover the history of several branches of mathematics and make text-to-world connections between the concepts covered in each branch with related...

Students explore the realm of mathematical probability while playing a game of chance. after constructing paper rockets, they fire it enough times to determine the probabilities of the rocket traveling past a marked distance and of it...

Learners perform an experiment to find the linear relationship between the appllied weight and the bend of the cantilever. In this linear relationships lesson, students follow detailed directions to set up an experiment. They add weights...

Fifth graders work in groups to investigate the proper use of a graph during a schoolyard ecology project. The challenge of the project is for students to choose the proper form of a graph. They gather data and conduct analysis with the...

Students compute the nutrient values of fast foods. In this fast food nutrient, students observe a PowerPoint about nutrition. They research nutritional topics, answer questions about nutrition, and determine the nutrient values of...

Students analyze velocity and how it is determined. They experiment with velocity in order to measure and calculate the magnitude of speed. They use examples in their novel "Skateboard Renegade" to relate velocity to real life situations.

Students compare different aspects of investing money from traditional savings accounts to money market accounts. They research investment accounts at local banks and compare them.

Young scholars 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.

Fourth graders explore the definition and properties of parallel lines. This high level activity has students calculate the slope of the two parallel lines, and draw the lines on a Caretsian coordinate system.

Fifth graders engage in the solving of a real life application problem using the concept of calculating perimeter. They apply the operations of calculating with the polynomials for finding the perimeter of triangles,quadrilaterals, and...
