Seventh graders relate patterns with higher math. In this 7th grade math instructional activity, 7th graders analyze different methods of portraying data. They relate the data to real life scenarios.      

Students define reflection, rotation and symmetry. In this symmetry lesson, students move the graph around the coordinate plane and identify the line of symmetry. They identify the different designs of a kaleidoscope.

Students investigate different geometric patterns. In this geometry lesson, students create different shapes using toothpicks. They create different patterns and designs and complete a charts using different measurements.

Students explore Newton's laws using CEENBoTs. In this physics lesson plan, students collect data and create tables and graphs. They calculate speed, acceleration and forces using mathematical formulas.

Learners view a video that reviews Mendelian genetics. They discuss the Hardy-Weinberg Law and use Popsicle sticks to simulate genetic variations and ratios in offspring.

Students discover and discuss the differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Using a microscope, they examine various prepared slides of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.

Middle schoolers distinguish between possible and impossible graphs of functions, and to learn why some graphs are impossible. They have practiced plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane

Fourth graders use colored beads in two problems and explore the use of proportional reasoning as a problem solving method. Working Students, in groups, explain their reasoning strategies orally, and through drawings.

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

Students complete worksheets on equality in math and create their own. They further investigate equality in the world around them.

Students examine the concept of scatter plots. They compare baseball statistics to locate the ones that correlate with winning, and identify the positive, negative, and no correlation in sets of data using MS Excel.

Students study and research irregular fractals and construct a few based on their research. Students practice pattern recognition skills and plane geometry skills calculating dimensions on the Fractured Pictures activity.

Ninth graders investigate the finding of the diameter of a circle in order to extend the practice towards finding the circumference. They differentiate between the distance measured across a circle from that of around the perimeter.

Fifth graders explore the use of trigonometry to find unknown sides and angles in right-angled triangles, taking the concepts that were developed in the previous unit and looking at different ways of practicing the new skills. Students...

Students explore graping linear equations and their relevance to real life situations. After a teacher led demonstration, students work at their desks and on the board to plot points and determine the slope of a line. Students then...

Students review how to solve and graph an inequality. They also review how to find simple interest from a given problem set. The teacher performs informal assessment through observation of students.

Students brainstorm about math they do every day, and explore relevant web sites to find definitions of "numeracy." They then explain relevance of the definitions of numeracy to their own instructional practices.

Students make sensible estimates and check for reasonable results. They also solve problems with positive and negative integers using practical activities or models as needed.

Students identify oviparous animals. They brainstorm a list of animals that lay eggs, read "Chickens Aren't The Only Ones" by Ruth Heller and then add to the list. Students complete a booklet that shows an egg and an oviparous animal.

Students work in teams creating and posing math rules and trying to guess them using a formula controlled worksheet they create with Excel. Student pairs take turns to see who can crack the other's code the fastest.

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. The lesson and discussions may be used to develop students' understanding of polygons and symmetry as well as their ability to analyze patterns.

Students learn what prime and composite numbers are. They learn how to identify them by working in a group and demonstrating an understanding of one work problem with 100% accuracy using the manipulatives provided.

Eighth graders create their own cane flute. They use a model flute to gain the correct measurements and use the scientific method to construct the flute to have sound quality and pitch accuracy.

Students are introduced to the function and design of the following Lego pieces: beams, bricks, plates, axles, tires, hubs and bushings. They then work with a partner to build something using only these pieces.
