Pupils are introduced to the topic of proofs in Geometry. During a PowerPoint presentation, they take notes on indirect proofs and have groups of students write a true statement. They are assessed on the statement and how well they...

Having a good working knowledge of math vocabulary is especially important for geometry learners. Here are 119 pages worth of wonderfully constructed definitions, constructions, formulas, properties, theorems, and postulates. This is a...

Communication is the key. A dozen sample items require scholars to communicate their reasoning involved in arriving at a solution. The PowerPoint from the Gr. 8 Claim 2 - 4 Item Slide Shows series uses a variety of content to...

Can your class solve right triangles and identify the properties common to right triangles? They will investigate and state the relationship between the altitude to the hypotenuse and the two segments of the hypotenuse formed by the...

Fourth graders write tenths and hundredths in decimal and fraction notations. In this math lesson, learners know the fraction and decimal equivalents for halves and fourths. Everyone answers numerous questions posed by the teacher...

Nested triangles have been created so that they share a common vertex and vertex angle. Learners drag the endpoints of the side that is opposite the common angle to discover the conditions that make the nested triangles similar. When...

Learners construct two-column proofs. In this geometry instructional activity, students use deductive reasoning and geometric properties to justify given geometric statements. Learners compare and contrast proofs.

Young scholars test the hypotheses using p values. In this statistics instructional activity, students define and examine conditional probability. They test each statement for a true statement or a false statement, based on the sample size.

Learners analyze data from maps. In this comparing data instructional activity, students use comparative and superlative statements to draw comparisons among the weather in different American cities based on USA Today weather maps.

Second graders participate in a math game using dimes and pennies. They practice combining coins to make a given amount of money, and they use the combinations to practice adding two digit numbers. Teacher assessment strategies and...
