Students study linear and non-linear equations. After a teacher demonstration, they use calculators to solve and graph equations. They distinguish the difference between linear and non-linear equations.

Ninth graders identify numbers as rational or irrational. Using calculators estimation, and factoring methods, 9th graders compute the square root of numbers. They graph numbers in sequential order and round numbers integers to the...

Pupils read the math problem and retell it in their own words. They brainstorm for ways to solve and use questions to focus on the steps used. Students could use other problems involving pirates from the given website.

Ninth graders identify and describe the x-intercept as the place where the line crosses the x-axis as it applies to football. They create their own differentiations to reinforce the distinction between the x-intercept and the...

Students explore the concept of linear regression. In this linear regression lesson, students do a Barbie bungee activity where they collect linear data. Students plot their data using a scatter plot. Students determine a line of best...

Pupils calculate the volume of prisms and cylinders. In this geometry lesson, students are give part of the formula, and must calculate the missing parts. They use 80% accuracy for their dimensions.

Students derive the six trigonometric identities. In this trigonometry lesson, students review the parts of a right triangle and use the Pythagorean theorem as a guide to find the trig identities. They find sine, cosine and tangent ratios.

Students use their understanding of 3D on 2D to make a representation of a 4D form on paper.

Third graders measure their feet and their parents' feet, record data on computer-generated graphs, and calculate and record mean, median, and mode.

Students examine the patterns that exist in Pascal's Triangle. They explore multiples and factors. Sudents use an applet to create and color the multiples in Pascal's Triangle.

Young scholars participate in an activity to demonstrate the distributive property. They take notes as they observe different methods of FOIL. Afterward, students work on their own, and in groups to determine which method to use and...

First graders explore the existence of patterns in everyday items. In this science and math integrated lesson, 1st graders match leaves with a name word card and organize them into four patterns. This lesson includes a reading of And the...

Students compute and estimate using mental mathematics, paper-and-pencil methods, calculators, and computers. They measure and compare quantities using appropriate units, instruments and methods. They utilize worksheets imbedded in this...

Students review the concept of median, explore how to calculate quartiles for any size data set and experience how to build a box plot.

Ninth graders demonstrate that factoring polynomials having common factors is the inverse process of multiplying a polynomial by a monomial. students find the greatest common factor.

Students make a link between prediction and hypothesis in math and science. Based on data collected over one week, students evaluate the predictions of local weather forecasters, compare the predicted outcomes to the actual weather...

Students explore codes, decode secret messages, and create codes of their own to use with their friends. They examine the use of gestures, letters, symbols and numbers in codes.

Students use a NASA website to use a given formula to find acceleration and distance after a specific time and how it relates to engine propulsion.

First graders explore counting and classification. They sort leaves, create graphs, write sentences for the data in the graphs, develop graphs for shapes, favorite animals, birthdays, and participate in a die prediction game.

Students copy, create, describe, and extend patterns with objects. They explore a variety of patterns through the use of manipulatives, sound, rhythms, songs and movement. Cooperative processes are used to encourage partner discussion.

Sixth graders use the prime factorization of numbers to find the greatest common factor and least common multiple. Working in small groups, they solve problems using the greatest common factor and least common multiple.

Students discover patterns and sequences. They use a website to explore patterns and fractals. Students share their discovery of fractals and their patterns with the class. They develop a list of patterns used in everyday life.

Students examine the concept of sequences. Students create a sequence using varied starting numbers, multipliers, and add on values. Students practice determining the starting values to use in order to produce a desired sequence.

High schoolers examine tesselllations and their geometric properties. They have a better knowledge of polygons, can identify types of symmetry in tessellations. Also students use visulization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling...
