Create geometric cups by interpreting directions, informational text, and mathematical concepts. Critical thinkers apply geometric theory (congruent shapes, patterns, symmetry) to actual directions to create a cup that holds Kool Aid....

Students collect and analyze data based on academic performance. In this statistics lesson, students create graphs and analyze the data they created. They use positive, negative and no correlation to analyze the data.

The house lights dim, the curtain parts, lights slowly come up, revealing the stage. Before the actors appear, before a word is spoken, the audience is drawn in by the lighting, by the colors, by lines of the set, by the props, and...

Grouchy? Sad? Here's a great resource that shows kids how music can be used to lift their spirits. Kids collect and chart data on the effects of music on emotions. After analyzing the results of their experiment, they develop...

Middle and high schoolers perform transformations. For this web based lesson, learners explore dihedral figures. They use the web tools to translate, rotate, and reflect figures. Pupils identify lines of symmetry.

Multiplying two-digit numbers together can be confusing for many learners. This clear presentation does a good job of showing each of the steps, and explaining why the steps are taken, to young mathematicians. The presentation takes one...

Introducing ... the Transmographer. Young mathematicians investigate translations, reflections, and rotations. The applet lets users perform transformations on triangles, squares, and parallelograms.

Perform the operation ... and then do it again. Scholars investigate recursive formulas by creating and graphing them. Using the interactive, pupils set the variable, determine the initial value, and type in a recursive formula.The...

Students practice performing various accounting functions. Given analysis records, they prepare cost and revenue analysis based on specific criteria. They complete handouts and review their answers as a class. They also discuss the...

Third graders evaluate their performance at school. They examine their most recent spelling test scores to determine whether or not they met their goals for the test.

Here is a great instructional activity that incorporates movement into academic learning. Young scholars improve addition subtraction skills by using number lines and locomotor movement.

Young scholars use problem-solving approaches to investigate mathematical content. They formulate problems from situations within and outside mathematics content. They warm up with a survey done by the teacher. Everyone uses practice...

Explore the concept of volume of prisms using an applet to perform the calculations. The link to the interactive applet is embedded into the lesson plan as well as a link to associated data sheets. Get your math class to the computer lab...

Young scholars will investigate the concept of transformations using virtual manipulatives that are available on the internet. The core of the lesson is technology based. The learners will also perform the skills with the production of...

Students investigate Microsoft excel. In this technology lesson, students create formulas using excel and apply these formulas to solve relative, absolute and mixed reference cells. They perform immediate and delayed calculations.

Associative property of addition, exponents, and variables are a few of the terms that a set of flash cards includes and are designed to support math vocabulary instruction. Cards offer a a bold-faced font as well as a thorough...

Fifty-eight flashcards make up a set designed to reinforce math vocabulary. Within the set, you'll find bold-faced word cards as well as definition cards that offer a labeled example. Terms include base, percent, theoretical...

Students explore sea life. For this cross curriculum fine arts, science, and P.E. "dolphins" lesson, students sing songs and play games about dolphins, perform water experiments, create mosaics, and use their five senses to explore sand...

In this pre-algebra decimal learning exercise, students complete a total of 28 problems performing multiplication, division, subtraction and addition of decimals and fractions. 

How quickly do animals evolve? Can comparing different samples of the same fossil answer timeline questions? Scholars use virtual labs to examine fossils and learn about stickleback evolution. They compare pelvic morphology in lakes...

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...

This isn't your typical basic lesson—it's more acidic! Learners use pH information to determine the hydroxide ion concentration of different substances and then use these values to analyze information. The calculations require...

Students investigate modular clock arithmetic and cryptography. They perform basic operations in modular (clock) arithmetic and encode and decode messages using simple shift and affine ciphers.

Students discuss some the different types of soil in Oklahoma. They identify the soil types and explore the characteristics of each type of soil. In groups, students perform hands-on activities such as taking soil samples, classifying...
