In this electric circuit learning exercise, students answer a series of 16 questions about logarithms and how they are used in understanding analog circuits. This learning exercise is printable and the answers are viewed on-line.

Third graders explore math functions by completing problem solving activities. In this division lesson, 3rd graders utilize the division strategies acquired earlier to divide multiple digit numbers by 4's. Students complete problems on...

Fourth graders graph the percentages of the materials that make up the Earth and complete computations based on their results.  For this topsoil lesson, 4th graders diagram the different layers of Earth's composition.

Fifth graders share information on one aspect of colonial life with an email partner each week. They take on the personal of a character from Colonial iamsburg and tell their partner about they have done that day with a focus on a...

Middle schoolers identify and interpret various ways of expressing probability as a decimal, fraction, percent, or ratio. They solve problems based on probability as they apply to real world applications.

Upper graders access the Microsoft Word program and create patterns by utilizing certain keys on the keyboard. They create picket fences, smiley faces, and hearts. It seems that this lesson has as much to do with keyboarding skills as it...

Young scholars investigate how different types of food can be classified then counted. In this sorting, arranging, and classifying lesson plan, students explore how to group foods based on commonalities. Young scholars are asked four...

Practice simplifying complex fractions and long division of polynomials with this brief exercise. These four questions make a challenging warm-up activity or a short, but comprehensive, follow-up after a detailed lesson on algebraic...

Learners change mixed numbers into improper fractions, then divide to determine the quotients. There are 18 equations to solve on this assignment. An answer key can be printed for your grading purposes. Use this as an assessment.

In this mental math worksheet, students solve 4 problems pertaining to scoring points in a target game. Students compute game scores mentally to answer each story problem.

In this factorial activity, students compute the factorial of a given number. This on-line activity provides 10 problems and is a self-checking activity.

Let the computer summarize all that data. Pairs work together to learn how to create pivot tables by following directions in the online module. They then utilize the data collected from the beginning of the unit to create their own...

Avoid the mines and win the game! Young scholars direct a robot through a minefield by plotting points. Their goal is to reach the target in as few moves as possible.

The key is in the leaves. Pupils enter data to create a stem-and-leaf plot. The resource then displays the plot and calculates the mean, median, and mode of the data. Using the plot and the calculated measures of spread, learners analyze...

Are your young mathematicians having a hard time making heads or tails of probabilities? It's no toss up—here is a resource that's sure to straighten them out! Learners run the interactive to toss a coin a different number of times....

What information can come from a box? Learners choose a data set to display as a box plot and decide whether to include the median in the calculation of the quartiles, show the outliers, and change the scale. To finish the lesson,...

Open your imagination to make algebra-inspired creations. An interactive lesson has scholars graph images from a set of parameters. Users can practice minimum values, maximum values, and scale as well as key features.

Derive tangent lines through derivatives. Scholars use an app to graph functions and investigate derivatives and tangent lines. The interactive automatically graphs a tangent line at a specified point and can also produce tables of values.

Take a great look at integration! Young scholars use an interactive to learn how to integrate a function. Learners input a function and view the integral as well as see a graphical representation.

No graphing calculator? No worries, there's an app for that! Young mathematicians use an app to graph functions. In addition, they can also plot data points.

Polar opposites might not work together—but polar coordinates do! The interactive provides learners the opportunity to graph trigonometric and algebraic functions using polar coordinates. The program takes either individual data points...
