Sixth graders solve real life mathematics problems. After reading a given problem, 6th graders gather and organize data into a table. They explore a pattern, and from this, derive a formula. Students solve the problems multiple ways...

Students use a given spreadsheet to investigate an iterative process by changing the variables. They design their own spreadsheet to investigate the iterative process.

Students practice making graphs and interpreting them. They compare and contrast different sets of data. They use Microsoft Excel to create different types of graphs.

Students discover patterns and write conjectures relating to perimeters and polygons. Working in cooperative learning groups, they use manipulatives and graphic organizers to solve problems then answer a series of questions in which they...

Students examine motion and how to describe it qualitatively.  In this investigative lesson students see how aboriginal people were environmentally responsible. 

In this math worksheet, students learn to calculate the area and circumference of a circle. Students answer 4 word problems after reading the information and studying the examples.

Students identify the surface area of pyramids and other polygons. For this geometry lesson, students find the different measurements for the different parts of a polygon. They use the surface area formula to solve for the surface...

Students identify the equation to represent a circle. In this algebra lesson, students review properties of conics and how they are related. they use a robot to create a visual of circles and their application to the real world.

Students identify the slope of a lines.In this algebra lesson, students define the  meaning of slope and write an equation given the slope. They graph linear functions using the slope and y-intercept.

Learners identify the differentiate the different properties of circles and parallelograms. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the area of each solid and identify the formula. They relate Pi to the circumference of a circle.

Fourth graders calculate volume. In this volume activity, 4th graders calculate, estimate, and compare units of volume in English and metric systems.

Students investigate the possibility of different events using combination. In this statistics lesson, students investigate the accuracy of permutations and combinations. They solve problems related to combinations.

Young scholars calculate the perimeter of shapes. In this geometry lesson, students relate properties of polygons to the real world. They find length, midpoint and slope.

Students will find the midpoint of the line between two given points. Answers will be expressed as ordered pairs. Coordinates will be rounded to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Students define properties of a quadratic equation. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph and factor quadratic functions. They write equations for polynomials, given a graph.

In this differentiated whole-group activity activity, students list all the places they visited over the summer, record the places on a flip chart, calculate the distances on a road map and graph the data they collect.

Pupils approximate Pi using the lower and upper bound for the constant. In this algebra lesson, students work in groups of two to graph a circle and approximate Pi using the circumference. They repeat their estimation until they come up...

Students calculate the perimeter and area of polygons. In this geometry lesson, students apply formulas of perimeter to solve geometric problems. They calculate the area of a dog fence and create ways to keep the dog in that area.

Students differentiate between expenditure and income. In this algebra lesson, students create a spreadsheet labeling the date, item and amount as they track their expenses. They format the cells of the spreadsheet to do all the...

Students investigate the effect of thin films to surface friction. In this physics instructional activity, students calculate the coefficient of friction using mathematical formulas. They discuss its importance in their everyday lives.

Students study techniques used for solving integrals. Using tangrams and hands-on activities, students perform basic integration techniques. They use artistic skills and real-world applications to discover more complex methods of...

Learners identify the pattern in a problem. In this geometry instructional activity, students make predictions, collect and analyze data. They apply the idea of scales and measurements to the real world.

In this food worksheet, students keep a record of food amounts and calculate calories in different problems. Students complete 3 problems.

In this eighth grade worksheet, 8th graders assess their knowledge of the major topics of algebra and geometry covered in eighth grade.   The lesson contains twelve questions and a mathematics reference sheet.
