Sixth graders apply knowledge of how to calculate the area and perimeter of triangles. They determine why it is inappropriate to measure the area of land by its perimeter which is done in certain areas of New Guinea. They complete a...

Students investigate the force of drag and how NASA engineers use models and glowing paints to examine how air flows over vehicles in a wind tunnel. They discover how the blended wing body will affect air travelers of the future.

Students graph ordered pairs to model the relationship between numbers. After observing the patterns in ordered pairs, they describe the relationship, and create graphs from a data table. Students describe intervals in the graph, and...

Eleventh graders study how to combine like vector's that are matrices. In this matrix operations worksheet, 11th graders combine matrices linearly and define the matrix-matrix product and its properties. Students also study matrix...

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

Students explore the concept of big and small. They collect objects from the classroom, sort them by size, and create a graph using Duplo stacking blocks.

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.

Pupils brainstorm about math they do every day, and explore relevant web sites to find definitions of "numeracy." They then explain relevance of the definitions of numeracy to their own instructional practices.

Students use diagrams or lists to show relationships. They also identify the pattern of triangular numbers. The mathematics behind situations provide a way of problem solving to examine the answers.

Students listen to the problem being read. They then brainstorm possible approaches and are encouraged to plan ways of recording their work so that others examine what they have done and share their findings.

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. The instructional activity and discussions may be used to develop students' understanding of polygons and symmetry as well as their ability to analyze patterns.

Students use data from the Rossi X-ray Tiiming Explorer (RXTE) satellite to analyze and graph.

Young scholars read Forces in a Climb from the Beginner's Guide to Propulsion, and explain each of the formulas using vectors.

Students review the days of the week and see if the students can recite he sequence using different starting days. Students retell the problem using their own words to check that everyone examines.

Students read the problem and then identify the important information in the problem and highlight. They then brainstorm for ways to solve the problem by drawing a picture and working in pairs.

Students guess the subject of the given problem by reasoning. Then they discuss the ways that the problem could be solved by keeping track of their counting in 10s and showing their work.

Students use the properties of multiplication to solve problems. They recall the basic multiplication facts as well as write and solve problems that involve whole numbers.

Students subtract using decimals and find half of a decimal number. They write and solve problems which involve decimals and which require a choice of one or more of the four arithmetic operations.

Students explain face, place and total value of numbers as well as solve three-digit subtraction problems. Before trying answer the problem Students must be able to examine that the same digit is used to represent different amounts.

Students discover that the mathematics behind this question is a comparison of the rate at which adding a fixed number increases the total compared to continual doubling of a number. In fact no matter what whole numbers you start with,...

Third graders use number sense and appropriate problem solving techniques to solve the assigned problems. They write out the solutions to the assigned problems. They work in groups to solve the problem before reporting back to the whole...

Fourth graders read the problem and brainstorm for ways to solve the problem - list these on the board for the students to refer to as they solve the problem. They work in pairs and focus on the strategy selected.

Fourth graders play an estimation game to guess how sheets of paper are in a pile and then guess who high a stack of one million would be. They work in small groups to explore ideas for working out how high the stack would be.

Pupils use Ohio census data to solve problems, make comparisons, draw conclusions, and support predictions related to Ohio's population. They interpret and work with pictures, numbers and symbolic information.
