Kids love calcultor tricks. Youngsters like to form words that appear when you turn the calculator upside down. This trick is a bit more heady, in that it describes a unique phenomenon that holds true with virtually any four-digit...

Excite the class with a mathematical trick, a calculator, and a good number sense. They use the directions provided on each slide to make a list of numbers, use their calculator to divide, and find the golden mean. A little history on...

Positioned inside the framework of linear and exponential functions, this lesson is more of an investigation into the effects of changing variables and constants inside an expression. The author takes familiar formulas, those for...

Represent motion with arrows and call them vectors! The lesson is a presentation that models the mathematics involved when determining a resultant vector. It addrssses motions that are parallel, perpendicular, and a combination of...

It's an ocean rescue mission! Groups must find a pilot downed off the coast of the Chesapeake Bay. Rescuers must determine the distance needed to travel as well as the heading to get to the pilot's last known position. Taking...

A slideshow covering the Smarter Balanced Target I on solving problems involving volume of cylinders, cones, and spheres contains five sample items. Items range from finding the volume of a figure to finding the altitude of a cone given...

Connect the size of a rolling cup to the size of circle it makes. Pupils view videos of cups of different sizes rolling in a circle. Using the videos and additional data, they attempt to determine a relationship between cup...

Skeeters are used to model linear and exponential population growth in a wonderfully organized lesson plan including teachers' and students' notes, an assignment, graphs, tables, and equations. Filled with constant deep-reaching...

Here is a challenging presentation which should be tough for even your top math learners. In it, pupils view 86 slides which take them through many mathematical concepts such as doubling, halving, decimals, word problems, and converting...

How much solar energy is available at my location? An engaging resource provides a presentation along with script to give the class background information on determining solar radiation. Pupils then work through a worksheet to...

Titration, and the lab skills that are needed to support it, is detailed here, with the reasoning behind standard solutions, concentration and volumetric analysis covered. Your young lab assistants will learn the skills of determining...

Here is an interesting presentation on fractions, quantities, and factoring. A game called four in a row is presented as a way of providing a fun way for learners to practice mathematical skills in these areas. Along with the game, there...
