Young scholars explore the concept of probability. In this probability lesson plan, students use a applet that demonstrates chaos and probability of spread for a forest fire. Young scholars also play applets about the Game of Life and...

Students explore the concept of linear functions. In this linear functions lesson, students translate linear functions from tables to graphs to equations. Students use an applet to write a function rule for a linear function in...

In this seventh grade activity, 7th graders assess their knowledge and understanding of grade level mathematics.  The twenty-two page activity contains thirty multiple choice questions.  Answers are not provided. 

Students investigate the usage of parallel and perpendicular shapes in the real world. For this geometry lesson, students investigate shapes for properties that are related to the real world. They relate all the properties of shape tot...

Students analyze graphs for specific properties. In this algebra lesson, students solve equations and graph using the TI calculator. They find the different changes that occur in each graph,including maximum and minimum.

Fifth graders solve division problems using partial quotients. For this long division lesson, 5th graders practice seeing division as a process of repeated subtraction and estimation. This lesson provides a script for the teacher.

Seventh graders recognize and solve functions. To reinforce the solving of word problems, 7th graders play a guessing game where they try to identify the functions used. They complete worksheets and draw graphs to match the problem in...

In this sixth grade mathematics activity, 6th graders evaluate their knowledge of grade level mathematics expectations.  The sixteen page activity contains ten problems, several of which are multi-tiered assessment.  Answers...

Explore how to make a number line and how to mark the numbers along the number line using fraction and decimal notation. Your scholars will compare and order fractions and decimals and find their appropriate position on the number line.

Second graders use technology to draw shapes or select pictues to represent an addition or subtraction equation. They also write the equation, and a story that matches the equations.

Students create a survey. In this survey lesson, students use www.walktoschool.org to help them come up with questions to ask other students. They put the information in spreadsheet format. 

Students solve equations by graphing. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between functions and relations. They use the TI to graph their equation and analyze the graph.

Learners identify and label acute, obtuse, and right angles within a picture. Using Kid Pix software and digital photos, they manipulate, identify, and label the angles and describe the angles to a classmate.

Middle schoolers study the components of a deck of cards and conduct an initial experiment in the probability of drawing various types of cards from a deck. They play two rounds of poker to discover the probability of drawing several...

Students measure angles using a plane table kit. In this geometry lesson, students use trigonometric identities to find the values of the length of a football field.

In this points, lines, planes, and space worksheet, young scholars solve word problems dealing with points, lines, planes, and space. Students complete 20 individual problems and 20 group problems.

Test probability concepts with an activity that asks pupils to first complete a task investigating false positive in medical testing and then to evaluate sample responses to the same task.

Help learners improve multiplication skills by skip counting and creating their own multiplication word problems. They will begin by practicing skip counting and then illustrate word problems using a software program. Pixie is a software...

Help your students identify the attributes of two-dimensional shapes. They read the book Round is a Mooncake, and use pattern blocks to sort shapes. Students sort shapes according to their attributes.

Let coordinate pairs show you the way home. Scholars plot houses on a coordinate plane with given coordinates using an interactive app. Alternatively, they can identify the coordinates of houses already plotted on a coordinate plane.

Build boxes using unit cubes to compare surface area and volume. The group performs multiple experiments to determine properties of volume, such as if it makes a difference which order the dimensions are multiplied in. Extensive...

Sometimes being different is an advantage. An engaging activity has scholars match cards with quadratic functions in various forms. Along the way, they learn about how each form highlights key features of quadratic functions.

Identify the identity. Learners first solve equations to find the number of solutions. Scholars then determine if given equations are always, sometimes, or never true, leading to the concept of identities.

Everybody wins when you play Algebra Four. Players solve linear and quadratic equations to earn pieces on the Algebra Four game. Make a row of four pieces and you win the game. But everyone gets practice with solving equations, so really...
