Students complete tasks. In this Seven Intelligences lesson plan, students complete a variety of activities that are all based on the seven different intelligences humans are supposed to possess based on Dr. Gardener's theory. They work...

Connect the tortoise and the hare fable to mathematics. Learners first identify key terms related to distance, rate, and time. They then solve distance/rate/time problems using different representations.

Is there another way to view whether the data is linear or not? Class members work alone and in pairs to create scatter plots in order to determine whether there is a linear pattern or not. The exit ticket provides a quick way to...

Young mathematicians first graph a series of quadratic equations, and then investigate how various parts of the equation change the graph of the function in a predictable way.

Every year, the moon moves 3.8 cm farther from Earth. In the 11th part of 22, classes use the distance formula. They determine the distance to the moon based upon given data and then graph Galileo spacecraft data to determine its movement.

Students, using algebraic operations, solve and check linear equations. At the beginning of class, they write a paragraph comparing the solving of math problems to solving real life problems. Students observe solving systems of two...

Students investigate the concept of polygons using a variety of activities. They explore the vocabulary of polygons by constructing a graphic organizer. Then students categorize the characteristics of several polygons and contribute the...

Students analyze the Order of Operations. They play a game to explore Order of Operations and observe a PowerPoint presentation slide sow. They generate patterns and functions to represent and solve problems. Students model and solve...

Young scholars investigate simple linear functions by trying to guess a function rule from inputs and outputs. They write the function rule in algebraic form.

Student study addition properties. In this addition properties lesson, students use multiple methods to solve various types of problems. Students illustrate and describe in various ways the Commutative Property of Addition. Students...

Students work as a team to complete a variety of algebraic equations. Variables are assigned to students who are to substitute values to help their team solve the equation.

Learners engage in a lesson that is about finding the vertex of a parabola while using symmetry. They use the symmetry to find out where the two lines meet. The line is displayed with the help of a graphing calculator. The lesson...

Students investigate the concepts related to the practice of using probability. They review the use of mean, median, and mode within the context of previous instruction. Students predict outcomes and calculate them in small groups. The...

Learners graph linear equations and then find the person in class whose linear equation graph is perpendicular to theirs. In this graphing inequalities lesson plan, students graph their perpendicular slopes and then once their find their...

Students write numbers in word form. In this writing numbers in word form lesson, students are shown examples of numbers written out in word form. Then they independently complete a 20-problem worksheet.

Ninth graders solve quadratic equations. In this factoring lesson, 9th graders answer questions from the text and complete a worksheet. 

Middle schoolers engage in a instructional activity that is concerned with the rules of exponents. They practice solving problems that use exponents in a variety of contexts. Students are shown how to use the rules in numerical sequences...

Students relate what they know about boundaries on sports courts to explore range of space. In this domain and range lesson, students identify numbers needed to calculate ranges and use the problem solving strategy of making a table.

I just bought that car, how can its value decrease already? Individuals use the data of a depreciating car value to create an exponential decay model. They then compare exponential decay and growth equations.

In the 19th activity of 22, learners determine if distance from a light source affects photosynthesis. Participants capture oxygen in straws and find that the amount of water the gas displaces is proportional to the rate of photosynthesis.

Young scholars determine the degree of polynomials.  In this determining the degree of polynomials lesson plan, students find the difference between consecutive y-values.  Young scholars find the degree of a linear, quadratic,...
