Students investigate Microsoft excel. In this technology lesson, students create formulas using excel and apply these formulas to solve relative, absolute and mixed reference cells. They perform immediate and delayed calculations.

Students 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.

Analyze data using technology. Middle schoolers design data investigations, describe data, and draw their own conclusions. Then they select the best type of graph, graph and interpret the data, and look for patterns in trends. They also...

Learners calculate the perimeter of rectangles and squares. They imagine trying to build a fence around a yard or trying to determine how much paint they need to paint a room. They also develop formulas and procedures for determining the...

Young scholars use problem-solving approaches to investigate mathematical content. They formulate problems from situations within and outside mathematics content. They warm up with a survey done by the teacher. Everyone uses practice...

Use paper strips or models to relate division problems to division of fraction problems. Since the materials can be broken up, it helps them to show how they can complete repeated subtraction with fractions and not just whole numbers.

Geometers explore mathematics by completing an object measurement worksheet. They utilize a variety of candy bars and rulers to conduct a measurement experiment in class. They complete worksheets as a group based on the measurement...

In this math worksheet, students use the operations of division and multiplication to simplify the expressions. They must be sure to apply the order of operations correctly.
