Fourth graders explore fractions. They compare different fractions using fraction bars. Students find equivalent fractions and they use fraction bars to visualize addition of fractions.

Ninth graders translate sentences into equations. They translate equations into sentences. They solve real life problems using verbal models to write equations. They create a problem solution graphic organizer in their journals.

Young mathematicians represent a triangle with a matrix and use the determinant to find the area of three given triangles. Learners also verify the formula for area of a triangle. 

Pupils solve equations by elimination and use the TI to graph the lines and find the point of intersection.

Students classify items and numbers by using a Venn diagram. In this Venn diagram lesson plan, students use the computer to do this and classify pictures and numbers.

Students make predictions and analyze soil. In this soil properties lesson, students make predictions about soil properties for various soil samples. Students examine the types of soils and record their observations. Students analyze...

Learners create a 3D vector field map of an electric field. In this physics lesson, students measure the voltage inside an aquarium with water. They present their findings and map to class..

Young scholars compare different aspects of investing money from traditional savings accounts to money market accounts. They research investment accounts at local banks and compare them.

Young scholars think about several of the concepts from fractals, including recursion and self similarity. They use mathematical concepts of line segments, perimeter, area and infinity are used, and skill at pattern recognition is...

Students differentiate between a feral cat and a domesticated cat. In this cat lesson plan, students use the scientific method, calculate averages, solve story problems, and learn how a caretaker can help a feral colony live safely.

Young scholars calculate the diameter, radius and area of a circle. In this geometry lesson, students investigate the different ratios of a circle. They calculate the surface are of each circle.
