Students investigate the area of squares and circles. For this geometry lesson, students calculate the area and probability of simple events. They work on a laptop using Safari.

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

Matrices help solve systems of equations in chemistry, computer graphics, circuitry, probability, and more. The second instructional activity in a seven-part series focuses on using matrices to balance chemical equations. Pupils rely on...

Students brainstorm pizza toppings and determine the number of possible ways to order a pizza. In this algebra lesson, students analyze and investigate geometric patterns as they relate to the concept of a variable. Students then...

Few things can motivate children to learn like the promise of a sweet and tasty treat. Given a bag of M&M®s, Skittles®, or other colorful candy, students first predict the contents of the bag before counting the pieces,...

Learners use the Frayer model during problem solving. In this problem solving lesson, they examine multiple methods of data collection to solve real world problems. Resources are provided.

A helpful and versatile activity requires young mathematicians to analyze data in order to create graphs and answer questions. Additionally, it prompts learners to find the mean, median, mode, and range of some of the data sets.

Sixth graders interpret linear and nonlinear graphs. They create graphs based on a problem set. Next, they represent quantitive relationships on a graph and write a story related to graphing.

Learners decide when to use computation and permutation to solve problems. In this algebra lesson, students apply the correct method to solve complex set of events. They differentiate between dependent and independent events.

Students calculate commission for a stock transaction through a broker using the relationship between percentages and decimals. They decide which stocks are preferable based on the price to earnings ratios listed on the stock market quotes.

Graph inequalities and discuss the difference in their slopes. Learners observe rate of change as they compare linear, quadratic, and cubic functions.

Young scholars use calculator and non-calculator methods for analyzing data. They apply data collection and analysis in a study of mass and weight. Students enhance and apply the concept of line of best fit. They master graphing in a...

Learners analyze, create, and record repeating patterns. In this geometry activity, students create shapes using patterns and keep track of the different shapes. They incorporate transformation and reflections into their patterns.

Students calculate ratio and proportion. In this unit rates lesson, students estimate using proportions and find their errors in doing so. They calculate unit rates and define the concept of unit rates.

Students participate in activities the connect measurement to geometry, statistics, estimation, and the real world. They collect measurements from their elbow to the tip of their middle finger and make a box plot of the data as well as...

Students utilize LEGO's to replace cards for a game that replicates "Go Fish".
