Curated OER
Discovery Research of Quadratics
Pupils investigate the properties behind the quadratic equation. In this algebra lesson, students identify quadratic equation in the real world. They graph the parabola and identify the vertex and intercepts.
Curated OER
Mathematics-Algebra II
Tenth graders investigate relations and functions. In this algebra instructional activity, 10th graders perform or research real life situation involving functions. This assignment can be used as a year end project.
Curated OER
The Louis Vuitton Project, using 3rd degree equations
Students model three-dimensional objects using cubes. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the volume and derived the amount mathematically. They use different objects to create two and three-dimensional objects.
Curated OER
Circle Art
Pupils investigate two and three dimensional shapes. In this geometry lesson, students write equations of circles and graph them correctly. They create pictures using circles.
Curated OER
Who Does the Lottery Benefit?
Students investigate the pros and cons of the lottery. In this algebra activity, students use the formulas for permutation and combination to test their arguments about the lottery. They collect data about their argument and plot it on a...
Curated OER
The Fractal Geometry of Nature
Young scholars identify patterns found in nature. In this algebra lesson, students model situation in nature using fractals. They investigate biological geometric structures and draw conclusion based on geometric concepts.
Curated OER
Patterns in the Sums of Polygon Angles
Sixth graders are introduced to how to calculate the interior angles of polygons. Using a worksheet from a previous lesson, they use those answers to determine the sum of the angles of the pattern blocks. To end the lesson, they tear...
Curated OER
Cruising the Internet
Students identify the parts of an engine using a graph. In this statistics lesson, students make a graph from their collected data. They calculate the volume of a cylinder using a line of regression and a scatter plot.
Curated OER
Writing in the Math Classroom
Students determine the vertex, y-intercept and direction of a parabola and write an explanation of how to graph a parabola. They collect and graph data using a calculator.
Curated OER
Geometry in Football
Students use the pythagorean theorem to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students relate football to math and the coordinate plane. They calculate the perimeter, area and distance.
Curated OER
CSI Investigation of Congruence and Similarity
Students differentiate between similarity and congruence using polygons. In this geometry lesson, students label triangles based on their properties. They find missing sides and angles using the interior sum theorem.
Curated OER
How BIG is 400?
Students solve problems using dimensional analysis. In this chemistry lesson, students choose a problem and present it in class. The rest of the class will evaluate the solved problem on the board.
