Students calculate the distance they will travel. In this geometry activity, students use the TI and CBL system to make calculation of a certain path. They explore geography by calculating distances between different areas as it relates...

Third graders analyze word problems. For this number sentence lesson, 3rd graders evaluate word problems. Students create number sentences from word problems.

Students calculate the sum of the angles of a polygon. In this geometry lesson, students use the interior angle formula of polygon based on the number of sides of the polygon. They identify the missing angle using algebra.

Students explore number relationships by participating in a data collection activity. In this statistics lesson, students participate in a role-play activitiy in which they own a scrap material storefront that must replenish its...

Students explore factors and multiples. In this factors and multiples lesson plan, students learn the vocabulary words factor, common factor, multiple and common multiple. Students view examples of each and then complete activity sheets.

Students create a design of a circle. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify the measure of the diameter and radius of a circle. They graph and analyze their collected data and write equations based on direct variation.

Students find the different ratios of a triangle. In this geometry lesson, students use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for missing sides and angles on a right triangle. They use a robot to create a right triangle.

Eighth graders work together in groups to discover linear functions. They are giving a situation and they are to recreate it in their groups. They answer questions to complete the lesson.

Students 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.

In this algebra worksheet, students read the information about the relationships of functions and then they fill in the graphic organizer with the information at the bottom of the page.

Students collect data using the CBL. In this statistics lesson, students predict the type of graph that will be created based on the type of activity the person does. The graph represents heart rate depending the level of activity.

Students use math to solve encrypted messages.

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

Students measure distances and report them in fractions, convert fractions to decimals, and multiply decimals.

Fifth graders use spreadsheets.

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...

Students discover how to find the mean, median, and mode from sets of data. By using statistical techniques such as whisker plots and bar graphs, they display the data gleaned from problems. Individually, students complete projects...

Second graders use numerical data about Texas to write and solve real-life problems involving addition and subtraction (or multiplication and division). They work in pairs to choose three numerical facts about Texas to use to make up...

Complex doesn't have to mean harder! Learners experiment with online software to determine the quadratic equations with complex solutions. They use the quadratic formula to solve equations with both real and complex solutions.

Put the better archer in a box. The performance task has pupils compare the performance of two archers using box-and-whisker plots. The resource includes sample responses that are useful in comparing individuals' work to others.

Let's paint the town equal parts yellow and violet, or simply brown. Pupils calculate the amount of blue and red paint needed to make six quarts of brown paint. Individuals then explain how they determined the percentage of the brown...
