High schoolers are introduced to the notion of a complex number and function iteration in order to motivate the discussion of Julia sets and the Mandelbrot set.

Students copy, create, describe, and extend patterns with objects. They explore a variety of patterns through the use of manipulatives, sound, rhythms, songs and movement. Cooperative processes are used to encourage partner discussion.

Students explore the concept of triangles.  For this triangles lesson, students are to propose a plan for a ramp at their school.  Students use the Pythagorean Theorem and trigonometry to determine the length, height, and angle...

Students investigate the lever and the mathematics associated with levers. They determine the conditions necessary to balance a system of forces around a fulcrum.

Fourth graders measure the height and arm span of various classmates. They use a spreadsheet to design a graph that shows the class measurements from tallest to shortest in metric and standard systems.

Students examine the patterns that exist in Pascal's Triangle. They explore multiples and factors. Sudents use an applet to create and color the multiples in Pascal's Triangle.

Students create an image using given coordinates and evaluate how the coordinates change when a slide or rotation takes place.

Students compare different aspects of investing money from traditional savings accounts to money market accounts. They research investment accounts at local banks and compare them.

Students discover patterns and sequences. They use a website to explore patterns and fractals. Students share their discovery of fractals and their patterns with the class. They develop a list of patterns used in everyday life.

In this fractions and decimals worksheet, students convert 6 fractions into decimals. Students work out their answers in the spaces provided.

Middle schoolers practice plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane, see several categories of functions, including lines and parabolas, and read a graph, answering questions about the situation described by the graph

Second graders create Mystery Numbers. They give the class clues about the name, value, and multiples of the digits which make up the number.

Students plot functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane. They explore lines and parabolas. Students analyze graphs and answer questions about the information presented on the graph using an online program.

Students explore their options in stocks. In this algebra lesson, students create a portfolio for their future in stocks. they discuss their choices with a broker and presents their portfolio to the class.
