Students are introduced to the concept of variables and their uses. In groups, they are given a code in which they must find the value of the missing words. To end the lesson, they find the value of words over ten letters long and their...

Students use triangles to find the length and slope of each side. After connecting the vertices, they add points based on their specific instructions. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to complete a worksheet to end the lesson.

Students investigate shapes and patterns. In this algebra lesson, students move from concrete to abstract understanding of shapes and concepts. They use variable to identify the unknown.

Students investigate the properties and idea of the Pythagorean Theorem. In this algebra lesson, students identify the different parts of a right triangle and relate it to the Pythagorean Theorem. They do a robotic experiment to...

What did you do over your summer vacation. Young wage earners must compare summer job options, and determine when each job earn the same amount and what that amount be. This be done by creating, graphing, and solving systems of...

Students collect data from measurements and weights for this experiment. In this algebra lesson, students analyze graphs they create form their data to find the expression representing the data. They label which graph provided the best...

Students sort objects based on one characteristic. They define the term "attribute" and give examples of attributes of objects. Students explain their reasoning for sorting objects into groups.

Students use math functions in part to complete a metaphorical instructional activity on tolerance. In this math and tolerance instructional activity, students receive rows of functions and try to find a single simple shared property...

Students identify and define properties of triangles. In this geometry lesson, students identify the missing sides and angles of right triangles. They use the rules of the Pythagorean Theorem to solve their problems.

Students explore number sense by completing math function problems in class. In this integers activity, students define integers and practice plotting them on a number line. Students utilize math functions such as addition and...

High schoolers explore the concept of fractals. In this fractals lesson, students play the "Chaos Game" via an applet. High schoolers place dots on the screen to recognize that they have created Sierpinski's Triangle.

Pupils investigate the growth and decay of an exponential function. In this algebra lesson plan, students apply properties of exponent solve problems. They identify any patterns they see in the graphs.

Young scholars identify the properties of a circle. In this geometry lesson, students relate properties of diameter to sections of a pizza. They calculate the measure of an arc and missing angles.

Students explore a linear, a parabolic, and a log function.  In this Algebra II/Pre-calculus lesson students investigate the graph a line, a parabola, and a log function.  Students examine the three graphs as they compare and...

Learners identify the equation to represent a circle. In this algebra activity, students review properties of conics and how they are related. they use a robot to create a visual of circles and their application to the real world.

Students use fractals to analyze nature. In this geometry lesson, students work in groups using technology and math to communicate. They identify where in the real world fractal can be seen.

Middle schoolers investigate properties of lines and points by making a rover. In this algebra lesson, students plot points correctly on a coordinate plane. They identify coordinate pairs given the plots and lines.

Students solve triangles using the properties if congruency. In this geometry lesson, students apply congruent and similar figures to solve real world and math problems. They show they are able to follow instructions.

Students measure the activity and parts of a robot. In this algebra lesson, students explore ratio and proportion using their classroom. They apply properties of fractions as they cross multiply to solve problems.

Students derive the six trigonometric identities. In this trigonometry lesson, students find the ratios of sine, cosine and tangent using the right triangle. They use properties of the Pythagorean Theorem to find the trig identities.

Pupils stud angles, and then play the "What's Your Angle?" game. They complete at least 10 computer generated problems from the Angles Applet.

Students use math to solve encrypted messages.

Eighth graders, while in the computer lab, access a web site to help them utilize manipulatives of cups and tiles to develop the skills necessary to understand multi-step equations. They assess the relationship between cups and tiles and...

Functions as inputs for other functions? After reviewing function notation and how to input values to evaluate functions, class members input functions into functions, essentially determining the composition of functions.
