Elementary schoolers utilize a pattern worksheet embedded in this plan to work on a deeper understanding of geometric concepts like symmetry and congruency. Since geometry is such a visual form of mathematics, this lesson should fit...

Slopes are not just for skiing. Instructors introduce class members to the concept of slope and teach them how to calculate the slope from a graph or from points. The lesson also includes the discussion of slopes of parallel and...

Linear equations are all about form. The fifth part in a unit of nine works with the different equivalent forms of linear equations. Class members become familiar with each form by identifying key aspects, graphing, and converting...

The last segment of the nine-part unit makes a connection between springs and linear equations. Groups hang weights from the spring and measure its length. Then, using the data collected, they calculate the slope to find the k-value...

Fractions are a common fear in school, but visualizing them on a number line can help your learners understand their relationship to one another. The activity provides two solutions; use either a number line or a common denominator....

There's a high likelihood for learner success in this set of probability problems and activities. From support activities that walk learners through joint and compound probabilities through the cumulative activity of planning to win...

Enough stuffed crust to go around. Pupils calculate the area and perimeter of a variety of pizza shapes, including rectangular and circular. Individuals design rectangular pizzas with a given area to maximize the amount of crust and do...

Students use the Pythagorean theorem to discover the relationships between the lengths of sides of a right triangle. In this right triangles lesson plan, students use their reasoning and mathematical skills.

Turn your class upside down as they explore the reciprocal functions. Scholars use the unit circle to develop the definition of the secant and cosecant functions. They analyze the domain, range, and end behavior of each function.

Students experiment with the basic functions of a spreadsheet. They practice using headers, footers, functions and fonts. They also organize information.

Students discuss and experiment with the phases of water.  In this phases of matter lesson, students recognize the different states of matter.  Students measure and record changes and understand when the state changes.

It's assessment time! Determine your young mathematicians' understanding of elapsed time with this brief, five-question quiz.

This detailed presentation starts with a review of using key components to graph a line. It then quickly moves into new territory of taking these important parts and teasing them out of a word problem. Special care is...

Youngsters examine how to tell time to the nearest half-hour. They discuss why people wear watches, listen to the book "What Time Is It?" by Sheila Keenan, view examples on a model clock, and complete a worksheet with the teacher.

Your learners combine their knowledge of real and imaginary numbers and matrices in an activity containing thirty lessons, two assessments (mid-module and end module), and their corresponding rubrics. Centered on complex numbers and...

An interactive assignment displays two example angles to teach how to measure them. When you click on the angles, a protractor appears! As practice, learners view a set of angles, estimate the size of each, and then enter the degrees in...

Fifth graders practice solving problems.  In this fraction and decimal instructional activity, 5th graders recognize the relationship between fraction and decimals.  Students estimate problem results and write expressions to...

Students investigate trigonometry.  In this Algebra II/Pre-calculus/Trigonometry lesson, students explore Islamic achievements in mathematics as they calculate angles and distances using the Law of Sines and the Law of...

Several real-world problems are posed as a way to learn about vector fields in order to make some predictions after analyzing the data. The main problem comes from the tv show NUMB3RS and is based on solving a crime where a body has...

In this nebula worksheet, students read about the Chandra X-ray Observatory that captured the given image of a pulsar and its nebula. Students solve 3 problems including using similar triangles and proportions to find the image width,...

Some things are hard to resist. Small collaborative groups build circuits and calculate the voltage using Ohm's Law. Budding engineers explore the connection between the voltage across different resistors and linear...

Slow and steady wins the race? In the assessment task, scholars calculate the rates at which different snails travel in order to find the fastest snail. Hopefully, your class will move much more quickly in finishing the task!

Pupils practice multiplying and dividing whole numbers by fractions. They study the multiplicative identity property that states that the product of any number and 1 is that number. They multiply whole numbers by fractions close to 1 and...

Learn how to solve a triangle. Young mathematicians view a video that explains how to apply trigonometry to find missing sides and angles of a right triangle. A worksheet tests their understanding of the concept.
