Using a pre-test, this lesson starts by establishing differentiated learning groups. Each group practices determining area and perimeter using interactive web sites small groups are then pulled aside and given additional support as...

Students solve for the area of different polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify and differentiate between regular and irregular polygons. They use properties of irregular polygons to solve problems.

Learners explore the concept of fractions. For this fractions lesson, students perform basic operations such as addition and subtraction with fractions. Learners play a game on the computer called 'Fraction Four' that gives students...

Students identify nonstandard units of measurement and investigate area of objects. In this geometry lesson, students trace their hands and glue cereal pieces to the print to find the area.

Students use Cartesian coordinates or degrees of latitude and longitude to locate important locations within their specific countries. They Use a grid to apply the concept of latitude and longitude, or positive and negative Cartesian...

"We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" makes the perfect theme song for meiosis. The simulation encourages scholars to move the chromosomes and chromatids to properly illustrate the meiosis break up. Multiple-choice questions allow...

Cellular respiration and photosynthesis relate closely, but many don't realize how. Scholars drag and drop the reactants and products to the chemical reactions for both processes. Then they answer three multiple-choice questions.

Learning isn't a random process. A well-designed interactive lesson helps classes make key conclusions about stratified random sampling. They calculate group percentages and use those percentages to decide on sampling totals.

Given 13 pancakes and five plates, learners are asked to distribute the pancakes evenly among the plates. Is it possible? Will there be any remainders? These are the questions pupils are asked to answer after manipulating an...

Compare fraction models to fractions on a number line in an interactive that uses pumpkin pies as the model. Pupils look at pumpkin pie models to determine their improper fraction value. They use their knowledge to answer five questions...

You'll be strangely drawn to this activity! Physical science pupils learn how compasses work in an interesting interactive. The content covers magnetic poles, Earth's magnetic field, and what would happen if Earth's poles swapped places.

Fourth graders examine the concepts of, draw, and label points, lines, segments, and angles, They draw, label, and identify horizontal, vertical, intersecting, parallel, and perpendicular lines. They complete an associated worksheet that...

Middle schoolers build a working definition of a regular fractal, they measure the concepts of dimensions and scale, they explore the concept of a logarithm and they attempt to solve simple exponential equations for the exponent both by...

Pupils build a working definition of regular fractal, look carefully at the concepts of dimension and scale, and are introduced to logarithms. They solve simple exponential equations for the exponent both by trial and error and using logs.

Students explore the world of fractal images and the mathematics behind them. They explore fractal sites on the Internet. They create their own fractal designs. They publish a calendar displaying their favorite fractal art.

Students explore the Elements of Art. In this art lesson, students read the book Katie Meets the Impressionists and brainstorm the different things that artists create. Students observe various elements of art such as line and color and...

High schoolers will investigate geometric construction in this geometry lesson. Your pupils can explore the basic construction of copying an angle, using the constructions tools of Cabri Jr.

Redecorate a classroom on a budget. Middle schoolers rebuild a classroom after a disaster. They conduct Internet research to determine construction supplies needed and the most cost effective way to reach the predetermined results. They...

Learners make three dimensional shapes with nets. In this nets lesson, students receive nets which they fold to make a three dimensional object. They predict what shape each net will make and verify it after making the net. They use the...

Young cartographers in groups hide treasure at school and then create a map to find it using pattern blocks and tiles. They make paintings with clues to create a visual representation of the location of their treasure. Groups present...

There's more to a quilt than just a pretty pattern—there's geometry! Explore angle classification using an artistic approach to show your class that quilt designs are really just intricate geometric patterns. Here, scholars create a...

Can natural disasters alter natural selection? The interactive explores this concept with mice living through a forest fire. As the environment changes, the camouflage also changes. How does this one disaster impact future generations?

Scholars create and perform experiments attempting to answer Buffon's Coin problem. They discover the relationships between geometry and probability, empirical and theoretical probabilities, and area of a circle and square.

Genetic counselors advise their clients on the chance of passing specific diseases on to their children. Pupils learn about genotypes, phenotypes, and genetics in the lesson. Matching activities, multiple-choice questions, and a...
