Curated OER
Adding Integers with Counters
Learners solve integers using addition. In this algebra lesson, students add integers using counters. They define and label patterns created by integer operations.
Curated OER
Is the System Fair?
Students investigate shapes and patterns. In this algebra lesson, students move from concrete to abstract understanding of shapes and concepts. They use variable to identify the unknown.
Curated OER
Patterns and Functions
Students investigate patterns and functions. In this algebra lesson plan, students examine the repetition of integers and objects. They create formulas for the repetition and identify them as function using equations.
Curated OER
Double, Double: Looking at the Effect of Change on Perimeter, Area and Volume
Students explore perimeter, volume, and area. For this math lesson, students explore how changes in dimensions of geometric shapes affect the perimeter, area and volume of the various shapes. Students investigate the results when the...
Curated OER
Friction This
Students investigate road surface and calculate speed. In this algebra lesson, students analyze the roughness of a road and calculate distance and speed based on friction. They relate friction and energy to speed.
Curated OER
Linear Equations
This is a great lesson from start to finish. With partners and on their own, learners write and solve linear equations and inequalities. They use manipulatives, group work, and an included worksheet to make magic with their problem...
Curated OER
Cartesian Coordinate System
Students research the Cartesian Coordinate System and its many uses in the world of mathematics and algebra.
Curated OER
Pythagorean Theorem
Students find the different ratios of a triangle. In this geometry lesson, students use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for missing sides and angles on a right triangle. They use a robot to create a right triangle.
Curated OER
What Are My Chances?
Students calculate probability. In this lesson on probability, students use given data to calculate to chances of a given event occurring. Many of the calculations in this lesson are applicable to daily life.
Curated OER
Polynomial Multiplication
Students review information about how to multiply polynomials and then work in pairs to complete a worksheet. They use graphing calculations to help them solve their math problems.
Curated OER
Cartesian Coordinate System
Students explore the Cartesian coordinate plane and plot points on the graph. They interpret coordinates for a point from the graph and give the ratio of rise over run for slope.
Curated OER
Constructing Tangrams
Seventh graders visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. In this tangrams activity, 7th graders construct a set of tangrams and then answer extension questions related to measurement,...
Curated OER
The Function Box
Students explore arithmetic and numerical patterns. After observing a teacher created function box, students describe a pattern and predict what will "come out" of the function box. They explore patterns such as geometric shapes,...
Curated OER
Repeating Patterns
Learners explore growth patterns by using manipulatives such as pattern blocks, investigate growth pattern of pattern, record growth in T-chart, describe how pattern is growing, and predict number of blocks needed to extend pattern.
Curated OER
The Function Box
Students look around classroom and identify any patterns they see, describe patterns and explain why they are patterns, use pencil to demonstrate arithmetic patterns by tapping, practice predicting patterns by using Function Box, and...
Curated OER
Perimeters, Patterns, and Conjectures
Students discover patterns and write conjectures relating to perimeters and polygons. Working in cooperative learning groups, they use manipulatives and graphic organizers to solve problems then answer a series of questions in which they...
