Can you tell how tall someone is just by looking at their feet? In this activity, young mathematicians measure their height, arm span, and foot size, graph their findings, and answer questions about how these measurements are related....

Collect and analyze data. Pupils graph their data and model with it to solve real life problems. They use logic and deductive reasoning to draw conclusions.

Pupils, through various activities, explore online databases. Using the internet, students explore the distributors websites. They collect specific information on selected products. An spreadsheet with price comparisons is developed....

Ninth graders develop an understanding of and the applications for linear equations and their graphical displays. They participate in a cooperative learning activity of matching a graphic display with an equation.

Learners explore the concept of division using the book "When the Doorbell Rang." They listen to the book, role-play the dividing of the cookies from the story, and create their own story problem to solve using the stamp program from...

Students calculate the slope of a line. In this slope lesson plan, students use a graph, an equation or two points to help them calculate the slope of a line. They differentiate between a slope of zero and an undefined slope.

Learners take an in depth examine baseball record breakers. They calculate statistics, not just for one year, but over whole careers, to compare some famous players and find who was the best all-time home run hitter.

In this reading comprehension worksheet, students enjoy a biography of Francis Scott Key, the author of the National Anthem. The students then answer 20 questions, some of which call on them to recall the words to the song.

Tenth graders explore parallel and perpendicular lines.  In this geometry lesson, 10th graders investigate the relationships associated with parallel lines and transversals, perpendicular lines, and the angles formed by these...

Students solve single variable equations. In this missing addend lesson, students solve problems with missing addends. Students create a function box to help study numerical reasoning.

Students are introduced to the notion of a complex number and function iteration in order to motivate the discussion of Julia sets and the Mandelbrot set.

Pupils, after completing a warm up exercise on one proportion word problem, distinguish between functions and non-functions. They identify domain and range on a function as well as recognize and implement function notation. They solve...

Pupils solve systems of linear equations using substitution. They investigate the steps to solving linear equations by substitution and practice problems in small groups.

Young scholars relate what they know about boundaries on sports courts to explore range of space. In this domain and range lesson plan, students identify numbers needed to calculate ranges and use the problem solving strategy of making a...

Eighth graders complete seven work stations that highlight math activities while they focus on the rules for Internet use and classroom rules for working in cooperative groups. After completing the activities, they complete a self-...

Pupils explore the concept of Mandelbrot sets and Julia sets. In this Mandelbrot and Julia set lesson plan, students use a function integrator applet to investigate two-variable function iterations. Pupils use Julia set and Mandelbrot...

Students participate in a lesson that is intended for the first days of school. They are led through introductions and how the class is organized for working on a daily basis. They sign behavior contracts and other paperwork as directed...

Pupils use the Internet to answer lab questions about fractals, and then construct fractals using the initial stage and iteration rule. They complete tables and generate rules for the "nth" term and create their own fractals.

Sixth graders perform the Order of Operations. Given various story problems, groups of students solve equations requiring division, multiplication, parenthesis, exponents and other mathematical processes. They discuss the order of...

Young scholars investigate the concepts related to the practice of using probability. They review the use of mean, median, and mode within the context of previous instruction. Students predict outcomes and calculate them in small groups....

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

The lesson plan includes scaffolding with the use of a teacher assistant and peer tutoring. The lesson has good intentions and the set up for instruction is well thought out. However, there is not enough information in this lesson to...

Students observe models of fractional parts. After writing the definitions of percent, part and whole, students use the calculators and computers to solve problems. Individually, they complete assigned problems where the convert the...

Students create patterns. In this math lesson, students complete and create patterns using pattern blocks or disks. Students analyze the patterns they see.
