Students review number sets and complete a Venn Diagram for number sets. In this number sets lesson, students review integers, whole numbers, and elements. Students use computers to create a Venn Diagram for number sets. Students...

Put down those calculators! Show scholars they can solve division problems mentally using rounding strategies. They divide four-digit dividends by one-digit divisors, competing 26 problems in all. The first eight have some scaffolding...

They could go all, the, way...to a deeper understanding of integers with this fun math game. Using the included printable materials, young mathematicians practice adding integers and calculating absolute values as they compete in a...

Students complete the theme activities in the unit for the month of September. In this planning lesson, students complete various themed activities for the month of September. Students complete movement activities, autonomy and social...

Middle schoolers play a game based on "The Amazing Race" to practice using rates and fractions. In this fractions and rates lesson, students work in small groups competing to complete the tasks in the quickest time. At each stage of the...

Students move around a makeshift "track" set up by the teacher, moving around it as many times as they can before the stop signal. Students begin by power walking and slow-jogging, then build up speed as they proceed. Students call out...

Here is an impressive collection of lessons on sharks. In them, pupils undertake a serious study of sharks, their habitats, their social structure, and how humans adversely impact their existence. These lessons effectively integrate...

Working independently or in teams, your class practices connecting graphs, formulas and words. This lesson includes a guided discussion about distance vs. time graphs and looking at how velocity changes over time.  

Fifth graders practice the skills of finding the perimeter and area of different objects. They integrate technology tools by using a computer software program during the class as the second half of an assessment of measuring student...

Use this series of activities to introduce learners to graphing functions. They graph both linear and quadratic equations by hand and with a Graph Sketcher Tool. Several imbedded links and handouts are included in the lesson.

Help your class look for patterns as they create their own arithmetic and geometric sequences. Engage learners with an introductory discussion on sequences and use the applet to let them explore how sequences are formed. Teachers might...

First graders explore geometry by completing a worksheet in class. In this non-standard measurement unit lesson, 1st graders discuss different techniques for measuring items without the use of a ruler. Students read several short stories...

Young scholars examine the patterns in Pascal's Triangle. In this recognizing lesson, students view a model of Pascal's Triangle and describe the patterns of the multiples. Young scholars identify the shapes that are made within Pascal's...

Geometers explore the concept of tessellations. They use a tessellation applet to manipulate shapes and design their own tessellation using the applet.

Young geometers investigate and apply properties of quadrilaterals.  After a review and discussion of key terms, students use a computer applet to explore four-sided figures and classify them according to their attributes. The...

Watch the damage from a forest fire in this interactive simulation activity that challenges learners to estimate the burn area using different approaches. Learners are given a worksheet to track the different burn patterns and practice...

Fourth graders are introduced to arithmetic and geometric sequences. For this mathematics lesson, 4th graders produce a variety of sequences by varying the starting number, multiplier, and the add-on number.

Ninth graders investigate systems of linear equations.  In this Algebra I lesson, 9th graders determine which method is the best for solving a systems:  graphing, substitution, or elimination.  Students choose...

Practice factoring numbers by using graph paper, manipulatives and computer applets.

Students explore the concepts of length, perimeter, and area. For this math lesson, students use Shape Explorer to practice finding length, perimeter, and area.

Students explore lines, rays, line segments, and planes. In this math lesson, students discuss the math concepts and direct their instructor in graphing functions. Students collaborate in graphing additional functions.

Learners explore the concept of tessellations. In this tessellations instructional activity, students use an applet to construct tessellations. Learners use regular polygons to construct tessellations. Students find patterns and symmetry...

Students explore slope as a rate of change. For this eighth grade mathematics lesson, students investigate real-world problems to determine rate of change and transform it into a linear representation, thus determining slope. Students...

Ready to introduce your class to the coordinate plane? This website includes a detailed lesson plan that includes two interactive games to help learners practice graphing ordered pairs. The scripted discussion is a little cheesy and a...
