Students practice figuring out how items have been sorted. They also sort buttons in small cooperative groups. They color and sort their own paper buttons and then give their button sort to another student to see if he or she can figure...

Students explore the concept of irregular fractals. For this irregular fractals lesson, students discuss how to find fractal dimensions through teacher led discussion. Students calculate fractal dimensions of various fractals.

Students describe, make and compare polygons. In this creating polygons instructional activity, students identify properties of quadrilaterals and describe common features of two dimensional shapes.

Young scholars do a variety of data analyses of real-life basketball statistics from the NBA. They chart and graph rebounding, scoring, shot blocking and steals data which are gathered from the newspaper sports section.

Learners use the digital camera, identify geometric shapes (in nature as well as man-made), and gain a better understanding of geometric vocabulary. They search for and recognize geometric shapes in unusual settings

Third graders model the tag and recapture of bears and use proportions to estimate the population of the bears in their forest. This is a statistical sampling method used by scientists and naturalists to determine population numbers.

Students discuss how numbers increase when exponential growth is occurring. They view a video and compare exponential and linear growth with a graphing calculator.

Seventh graders use daily temperature models to find the mean, mode and median.

Students practice simple addition and subtraction. They identify relationships among whole numbers.
