Get your classes moving and practicing sequences at the same time! Learners move about the room solving problems and finding their solutions. Problems include both recursive and explicit formulas and both geometric and arithmetic sequences.

How many potatoes tall are you? Unearth this rich resource! A reading of John Coy’s Two Old Potatoes begins a cross-curricular exploration of potatoes. Class members read, write, weigh, measure, and experiment with potatoes. Additional...

Students use math to solve encrypted messages.

Students investigate electromagnetic energy. In this magnetism lesson, students will create an electromagnet and test changes with increased energy. They will compete by building the strongest electromagnet.

Young scholars use Venn diagrams to represent classifications of shapes and to use counting arguments to find the number of objects in a given set.

Students design and build water balloon catchers from random scrap materials, while taking into consideration a multitude of variables including: cost, maintenance, total capacity, etc.

Build a scale model of a home built out of shipping containers. A hands-on activity has scholars watch a video about a home built from shipping containers and then design their own home. They build scale models of their designed homes...

What do you want to do when you finish school? Most high schoolers have an idea of what they'd want to do, but little idea of how to achieve this goal. After researching a career of their choosing, learners identify qualifications,...

It's time to discover what your classes have learned! The final lesson in the 25-part module is an assessment that covers the Pythagorean Theorem. Application of the theorem includes distance between points, the volume of...

While the process of buying a home can certainly be overwhelming, give your young adults a leg up for their future by introducing them to the components of a mortgage, as well as exploring the basic concept of credit and how to become...

Inquiry-based learning and investigations form the basis of a deep understanding of quadratic functions in a very thorough unit plan.  Learners develop recursive and closed methods for representing real-life situations,...

Control the spread of a contagious disease. An applet allows pupils to run a simulation on the spread of a disease. Rules govern how the disease is spread and the length of time it takes to recover. Learners view the spread visually and...

Students design an environmentally friendly home.  In this middle school math/science lesson, students watch videos on creating green design.  Students work in collaborative groups to determine what makes a house green and to...

Middle schoolers create a dichotomous key. In this categorizing lesson, students create a dichotomous key for different types of cereal. Middle schoolers classify the cereal into groups such as flakes and cereal with holes. Students...

Students investigate the fundamental theorem of calculus. In this calculus instructional activity, students derive the fundamental theorem of calculus. They differentiate between the first and second theorem.

Solve problems using the fundamental theorem. In this calculus lesson, students solve problems using theorems and proving theorems. They derive the fundamental theorem as they study it.

Statisticians analyze different samples to find independent and dependent events. In this probability lesson, pupils predict the outcome and then calculate the real outcome. They create a tree diagram to help predict the probability of...

Students explore the relationship between nature and architecture. In this cross curriculum history, culture, and architecture lesson, students observe and discuss structures visible in nature. Students view websites in which Native...

Students analyze data using central tendencies. In this statistics lesson, students collect and analyze data using the mean, median and mode. They create a power point representing the different measures of central tendency.

Young scholars create their dream house using a spreadsheet for measurements. For this measurements and drawings lesson, students apply concepts of units and conversions as they build and create different shapes. They use Google...

The interactive lesson featured here calls for the use of a Smartboard for sorting and classifying shapes. Then, pupils discuss the rules they followed for sorting their shapes, particularly focusing on the properties of angles. While...
