Finding the sum of the measures of three angles is easy, unless you have no clue what the measures are. Learners use an interactive diagram to see a geometric problem in a different way. A set of challenge questions takes them through...

Continue teaching your financial scholars about interest. A slider interactive has users investigate the growth of an account earning continuous interest. A set of challenge questions has them solve problems given a variety of situations.

It is not as difficult as herding cats. The short interactive provides a group of kittens to sort according to their colors. Pupils determine the mode of the number of kittens by color. The questions continue with other numbers of...

Generate stacks of money. Given bills of different denominations, pupils stack them based on their values. The learners figure out which value is the mode of the data and determine whether the data is unimodal, bimodal, or multimodal.

Let the means live in harmony. With lengths representing the values of a small data set, learners compare the arithmetic mean to the harmonic mean. The pupils determine which value is the most accurate representation of the average of...

Use an iterative process to find an approximation of a square root. Pupils use the interactive to find an approximation to find the positive root of a quadratic function with Newton's method. With the graphs, learners position the...

The legend of a wise man who asks a king for rice as a reward presents a context to study exponential solutions to differential equations. Pupils move quantities of rice to a chessboard and calculate the amount of rice for each day. To...

Build an explicit formula using tiles. Pupils develop a tile representation of a term within a sequence given figures of previous terms. Using the diagrams, learners develop the explicit formula by recognizing the common difference and...

Explore the building blocks of the Fibonacci Sequence. Given the lengths of sides of squares, pupils deduce the pattern to determine the lengths of two more squares. Learners continue to work with recursive formulas to generate numerical...

Young scholars explore the concept of triangles.  In this triangles lesson, students are to propose a plan for a ramp at their school.  Young scholars use the Pythagorean Theorem and trigonometry to determine the length,...

Students compare and order numbers. In this geometry instructional activity, students write equations for inequalities. They differentiate and apply concepts of triangular properties to solve problems.

Review guide, practice test, homework packet? Yes, yes, and yes as it's all possible with a wonderful trigonometry packet. Every type of problem is there, starting from the unit circle and ending with conic sections. 

Learners revisit midpoint and segments by graphing on the TI or computer. This activity can be done with pencil and paper, but is more interactive if it is done on a TI-navigator.

Students create a car using physics. In this forces and motion lesson, students create a car and test which changes in design change the performance of the car. Students complete a graphic organizer with the different changes...

Students are introduced to the concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation. They practice translating, reflecting, and rotating two-dimensional objects on the coordinate plane. students use computers to learn about the three concepts.

Students explore the concept of fractals. In this fractal lesson, students use applets to explore Koch's Snowflake, Sierpinski's Triangle, and other fractals. Students develop these concepts through exploration and teacher guided...

Students examine the concept of perimeter. Students calculate the perimeter of a random shape on a grid. Students develop a better understanding of the concept of perimeter. Students calculate the perimeter of shapes.

Students explore the concepts of length, perimeter and area. Students develop an understanding of length, perimeter, and area. Students calculate the area and perimeter of random shapes and calculate the area and perimeter of a triangle...

Fifth graders use pattern blocks and triagular grid paper to reivew shape names, be introduced to the concept of a tiling of the plane, and determine which pattern blocks tile the plane. They are asked if they comprehend what a...

Second graders practice vocabulary related to measurement, mathematics, and dinosaurs. Using the engaging topic of dinosaurs, learners will calculate various information about dinosaurs and use measurement vocabulary. They will also...

Learners play a game with shapes. They work in groups to identify the names and characteristics of various shapes. They give each other clues to see if others can identify the shape being described. This is a great hands on activity.

Discover trigonometric ratios that complement each other. Using two videos, the activity introduces the trigonometric ratios. The class discovers the relationship between the sine and cosine of complementary angles.

Students investigate chords and make predictions. For this geometry lesson, students graph circles and calculate the measurement of each chord. They perform the calculations and make conjectures.

Middle schoolers will explore frieze patterns. A frieze pattern is a mathematical concept to classify designs on two-dimensional surfaces, which are repetitive in one direction, based on the symmetries in the pattern. They will explore...
