Students build a scaled model of the solar system. In this space science activity, students arrange them according to their distances from the sun. They analyze each planet's unique features such as density and relative gravity.

Sometimes, equality just doesn't happen. Scholars apply their knowledge of solving equations to identify values that satisfy inequalities in the 34th installment of a 36-part module. They test given sets of numbers to find those that are...

The Pythagorean Theorem is a geometry pupil's best friend! Learners explain the equation a1b1 + a2b2 = 0 for perpendicular segments using the Pythagorean Theorem. They are able to identify perpendicular segments using their...

How do you know if a number is divisible? Instructors first prove the divisibility rules for three and four and then class members use this modeling to prove given divisibility rules for eight and nine either individually or in...

Introduce the concept of matrices with a pre-designed instructional activity. Learners watch video lessons to learn the ins and outs of adding, subtracting, and multiplying matrices. Using provided problems, they practice each operation...

Students explore the realms of measurement. In this math lesson plan, students analyze and solve problems in which rectangles with identical perimeters are compared to maximize or minimize area. This lesson can be extended for algebra,...

Third graders investigate numerical and geometric patterns and express them in words or numbers.  In this algebraic reasoning lesson, 3rd graders analyze the structure of the pattern and how it changes or grows, organize information...

Learners are introduced to the elimination method in Algebra. As a class, they solve two linear equations with two unknowns using this new method. They discuss the positive and negative aspects of using this method to solve problems. ...

Young scholars compute surface area and volume of prisms. In this surface area lesson, students find the surface area and volume of rectangular and triangular prisms. Independently, young scholars use their computers to determine the...

Students, while in the computer lab, assess how to use Microsoft Excel as a "graphing calculator." They view visual representations of line graphs in a Cartesian plane while incorporating basic skills for using Excel productively.

In this geometry worksheet, students answer questions about geometric and arithmetic sequences. This lesson is an online interactive lesson.

Students explore the relationship between mass, volume and density. They use model boats to discover how changing mass and volume affect density. This is a very engaging lesson plan which provides great demonstrations and hands-on...

Students explore the concept of interpreting data. In this interpreting data lesson, students make a line plot of themselves according to the number of cubes they can hold in their hand. Students create their own data to graph and...

This is a great instructional activity from start to finish. With partners and on their own, learners write and solve linear equations and inequalities. They use manipulatives, group work, and an included worksheet to make magic with...

Can your class solve linear equations in two variables? They will be able to after they engage in this lesson. Individuals graph linear equations in two variables using slope and intercept and identifying the relationship between the x...

Students recognize patterns in a numerical sequence, create new patterns and predict outcomes to established sequences.

Twelfth graders graph ordered pairs on a coordinate plane.

Students identify inverse variations. In this inverse variation lesson, students explore graphs and identify the inverse variation. They write equations for the inverse variation. Students compare and contrast the inverse variation...

Students graph systems of linear inequalities. For this linear programming and profit lesson, students explore linear programming problems. They graph a feasible region in a linear programming problem and identify the profit lines. ...
