Creating Polygons
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.
Curated OER
The Shortest Distance
Students, working on their GED, examine the steps used to resolve the unknown sides of a right triangle. They express the square root function as an exponential function and derive the distance formula using principles of geometry.
Curated OER
Bead It!
Fourth graders use colored beads in two problems and explore the use of proportional reasoning as a problem solving method. Working Students, in groups, explain their reasoning strategies orally, and through drawings.

Patterns In Fractals
Students find number patterns in the generation of several different types of fractals.
Curated OER
Patterns in Fractals
Students explore the concept of fractal patterns. For this fractal pattern lesson, students use an applet about the Hilbert Curve to answer questions about rectangles and other polygons. Students derive the fractal pattern when dividing...
Curated OER
Lines, Rays, Line Segments, and Planes
Students are introduced to lines, rays, line segments and planes and study the differences between them. They also practice graphing lines, rays, line segments and planes
Curated OER
Angles Lesson Plan
Young scholars stud angles, and then play the "What's Your Angle?" game. They complete at least 10 computer generated problems from the Angles Applet.

Introduction to Scatter Plots and Correlation
High schoolers examine the concept of scatter plots. They compare baseball statistics to locate the ones that correlate with winning, and identify the positive, negative, and no correlation in sets of data using MS Excel.
Curated OER
Irregular Fractals
High schoolers explore the concept of irregular fractals. For this irregular fractals lesson, students discuss how to find fractal dimensions through teacher led discussion. High schoolers calculate fractal dimensions of various fractals.
Curated OER
Time-Axis Fallacy and Bayes Theorem
Pupils determine that knowledge of an event's outcome can affect the probability of the unknown outcome of an event that has already occurred.
Curated OER
Cannot Buy Me Love
Students investigate the concepts that are related to finance and how it is used in the world. They take part in activities that are focused around the use of a spreadsheet while using a T-chart to simulate a ledger of credits and debits.

What Happens on Average
Fifth graders are introduced to convergence of sequences based on averaging previous terms in the sequence. The power of the "fill-down" function in spreadsheets is exploited. By using various starting numbers, and inferring the limit,...
Curated OER
Ws and Worms
Young scholars explore problem solving strategies. Given real life problems, students examine the sum of consecutive strings of whole numbers. Young scholars use diagrams and sequencing to solve problems. Students justify their...
Curated OER
The 400 Problem
Young scholars develop the skills of problem solving and logical analysis. The conditions of when two subtraction sums are equal is examined to develop other skills like practicing arithmetic in context.
Curated OER
Calculus
Students make an inquiry with the aid of technology into the concept of functions. The emphasis of the lesson is on the interplay between the geometric and analytic information.
