Young statisticians are introduced to box plots and quartiles. They use an activity and discussion with supplemental exercises to help them explore how data can be graphically represented.

In this limit of slopes worksheet, students compute the limit of slopes, find the slope of the secant line, and determine the slope of the tangent line. This one-page worksheet contains five multi-step problems.

Students explore the concept of logarithms.  In this logarithms lesson plan, students discuss the logarithm properties.  Students use linear functions as a basis to develop the logarithm properites by substituting log b and log...

The class solves systems of linear inequalities. They graph lines and identify the point of intersection.They graph lines and identify the boundary that represent the solution and solution set.

Students investigate an accident and relate it to math. In this trigonometry lesson, students measure the accident scene, the friction produced, and the speed from the skid marks. They create a poster of their findings.

Students complete worksheets on equality in math and create their own. They further investigate equality in the world around them.

Students are introduced to the concept of variables and their uses. In groups, they are given a code in which they must find the value of the missing words. To end the lesson, they find the value of words over ten letters long and their...

Students review information about how to multiply polynomials and then work in pairs to complete a worksheet. They use graphing calculations to help them solve their math problems.

students emulate a real world problem and model it with mathematics working in a small group. Observe and facilitate discussion as the groups use various strategies, such as (graphs, brainstorming, tables, and dialogue.

Fourth graders use two activities to draw four different conic sections. One activity is of a physical nature and one is traditional paper and pencil.

First graders problem solve using the concepts of doubling and halving numbers as previews for finding multiples and working with fractions. They determine how to find half of a set of objects and work with sums up to 16. They work with...

Learners examine the mathematical concept of proportions in an attempt to apply them in various types of problems. The real application of proportions is often found in word problems which requires a them to also practice a systematic...

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.

Students review the concept of median, explore how to calculate quartiles for any size data set and experience how to build a box plot.

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 examine the concept of sequences. Students create a sequence using varied starting numbers, multipliers, and add on values. Students practice determining the starting values to use in order to produce a desired sequence.

Pupils see how division is used to help solve probability problems. They use tables as data structures where they are used to count outcomes and to compute probabilities. Students use games to help solve probability problems.

Students investigate different geometric patterns. In this geometry lesson, students create different shapes using toothpicks. They create different patterns and designs and complete a charts using different measurements.

Fifth graders explore the use of trigonometry to find unknown sides and angles in right-angled triangles, taking the concepts that were developed in the previous unit and looking at different ways of practicing the new skills. Students...

Middle schoolers distinguish between possible and impossible graphs of functions, and to learn why some graphs are impossible. They have practiced plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane

Students review the principles of graphing linear functions. They discuss plotting points on a coordinate plane, solving using a table, and then graphing. Students solve problems and determine the slope of the line, y-intercept and if...

Eighth graders practice using the LIST key on graphing calculators using the proper syntax. They work with the functions of mean, median, and mode in a teacher led lesson and then with a partner on a second data set. They follow...
