Explore genetic engineering through an engaging "Jurassic Park" unit, which is an extensive use of a cross-curricular teaching event. Planned for AP Biology, English, and Calculus students, learners and teachers are involved for 4-6...

Mathematicians utilize artwork to help illustrate the major ideas of transformations and tessellations. They visually identify transformations including reflections, rotations, and translations. They discuss how artists have used...

Students examine the patterns in Pascal's Triangle. In this recognizing lesson, students view a model of Pascal's Triangle and describe the patterns of the multiples. Students identify the shapes that are made within Pascal's Triangle.

A 27-page packet full of math games and activities builds on algebra, measurement, geometry, fractional, and graphing skills. Young mathematicians participate in math games collaboratively, promoting teamwork and skills practice.

Use a function to operate on two variables. Pupils look at operating with complex numbers as a function of two variables. The interactive squares the input and adds a constant to it. Learners visualize the resulting output and its...

Students explore the patterns of nature. In this interdisciplinary lesson, students examine beauty in nature and participate in a hands-on simulation that demonstrates how human preferences for beauty have led to an increased frequency...

Students begin the instructional activity by developing a map of Kelsey Island by following specific instructions. In groups, they are given a block of ice in which they tie a rope around and drag over various rocks for different...

Students solve and analyze the sierpinski's triangle. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties and theorem of triangles. They solve problems involving angles and sides of triangles.

Students study Pascal's triangle. They construct their own version of Pascal's triangle, and relate some of the uses for it. While working through this process, students practice their integer multiplication and division skills.

Learners complete a set of CD-ROM's to introduce them to the flight program at NASA. In groups, they research a topic related to flight and put their information on a CD-ROM. To end the instructional activity, they share their material...

Ninth graders gain an understanding of Chaos Theory that exists in one's everyday environment.

Students discuss the Chaos Theory and how it came into existence.They observe order and compare it to the randomness of chaos. The lesson features the playing of a game to reinforce concepts.

Students measure the circumference of an object to the nearest millimeter. They also measure the diameter. The relationship of the two measurements is taught and how the value of pi came into existence.

A good beginner's site for fractals - the language is straightforward and requires only minimal experience to be able to understand the topic. (Note: When clicking on links on archived site, they may pause and appear not to be found...

Lesson plans and activities available in Spanish dealing with fractals. Some are also available in English. Activities are step by step and easy to understand. Included topics are the Koch Snowflake, Sierpinski's triangle, and Pascal's...

Use the "Fractals and Chaos Game" game as a follow up to previous work on geometric fractals. Included are related activities.

On this site, you can find information on fractals and also create fractals by using the Fractals Simulator. Requires Java.

Explore this course in fractals and dimensions including topics of The Sierpinski Gasket, The Mandelbrot Set, fractals in nature and technology, and fractals in 3-dimensional space.

Mathematics legend Benoit Mandelbrot develops a theme he first discussed in 1984- the extreme complexity of roughness and the way that fractal math can find order within patterns that seem unknowably complicated. [17:10]

A bump on the head, a mysterious femme fatale and a strange encounter on a windswept peak all add up to a heck of a night for Manny Brot, Private Eye. Watch as he tries his hand at saving the dame and getting the cash! Shudder at the...
