Students investigate and solve Pythagorean triples. In this geometry lesson, students find the missing sides and angles of a right triangle. They graph right triangles and move the sides around to create different angles.

Students investigate the Pythagorean triples. For this geometry lesson, students solve for different parts of a right triangle. They identify the missing side or angle using the pythagorean theorem.

Students design and build a model downhill ski course that proves to be the fastest course at the Finish Line. They apply what they explore angles, slope, speed, and surface conditions to find the fastest course in the US.

Students explore mathematical concepts, problem solving, and the ability to program in LOGO to test ideas about speed, acceleration, gravity, and slope when dealing with downhill skiing.

Students investigate the sport of skiing through Internet research in this multi-task lesson plan. They compare and generalize the results of five individuals by using mean, median, and mode.

Eighth graders research, collect and interpret data about weather statistics. They record that data on spreadsheets. they create Powerpoint presentations on their individual or group research.

Students explore the concept of being a recording artist. In this recording artist lesson, students determine the costs of producing various music products such as a demo tape, 8-track tape, and a record deal. Students discuss supply,...

Fifth graders visit Web sites on the World Wide Web for interactive practice in recognizing place value for numbers. They work in teams of two to practice identifying place values of whole number and decimals by creating place value cards.

High schoolers discover that four special segments have a common intersection point. They identify the position of the intersection point in triangles. They produce conjectures about areas of the divided triangles.

Seventh graders review the process of finding the area of a rectangle and complete a couple of examples as a class. They discuss what a parallelogram is and what the formula would be for finding its area. They listen to an explanation...

Pupils investigate geometric shapes in their environment, make a geometric design, and write paragraphs describing the design.

Students are introduced to stem-and-leaf plots and calculating the mean, median, and mode from the plots.

Students make wings that produce enough lift to fly a hand held styrofoam glider.

Students create an illustration of how to solve math problems. They use appropriate resources for solving the problems. Students have to demonstrate how drawing diagrams and using pictures can help them by using KidPix. On Slide One,...

Young scholars create a spreadsheet to record information about circular objects. They measure and record information from a variety of objects. Students calculate the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of each object. They find...

Learners practice gathering, averaging, and graphing data. They practice converting measurements to the metric system. Students graph their results and present them to the class.

Students examine the Flying Geese quilt pattern, and discuss and identify the pattern. They write a paragraph titled, My Quilt Report, summarizing the information discussed about the quilt patterns.

Young scholars examine the differences in exponential growth and linear growth of a system. They interpret data on graphs and develop their own charts. They answer discussion questions as well.

Students use the internet to find pen pals to share in their weather experiment. Individually, they research the high and low temperatures for cities within the United States and email the results to their pen pal. They also develop a...

Students watch and discuss an M. C. Escher video, use what they have learned to explain and apply their knowledge of tessellations in order to create a slide translation, present their findings in a 12" x 18" poster, and explore...

Students review definitions of word wall words using songs, movement and sharing.

Second graders explore tea dyeing cloth.

Second graders hand stitch three different appliqué stitches using triangles as a motif.

Second graders, in groups, write quilt reports.
