Learners use the Internet to determine broadcast times for the Winter Olympic Games snowboarding competitions. In determining these times, they need to consider time zones throughout the world.

Math whizzes use data from simulations to make theoretical generalizations and discuss possible relationships between several given events. They use a simple card game to generate data to be analyzed.

Sixth graders experiment with dice, playing cards, pennies and computer-generated simulations to calculate probability. They use compiled data to make predictions.

Students engage in an integrated lesson with a unit on inequalities.This math computer-based software lesson will utilize Reader Rabbit Math! The lesson is designed for students that are learning inequalities and basic computer skills.

Students compete to achieve excellence in math facts, writing terms, problem solving, and writing skills on the computer. In this Computer Olympics lesson plan, students practice the skill of drill and practice in order to succeed and...

Students explore the concept of fractals. In this fractals activity, students play the "Chaos Game" via an applet. Students place dots on the screen to recognize that they have created Sierpinski's Triangle.

Students play a PowerPoint activity to be used as a review of basic skills for order of operations, and the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division for whole numbers, some fractional numbers and integers....

Students participate in game show like games when reviewing material for any subject or grade level.

Students participate in the Hare and Tortoise Game and the "Castle Warwick" problem (from an Addison Wesley text). They use the computer to practice resampling statistics and explore different approaches to their tasks. They present th

Students compete in playground games in order to review velocity and wave behavior in real life situations. They demonstrate understanding by calculating velocity in their "Playground Games" packet.

Students examine the statistics of March Madness, the college basketball tournament. They watch videotaped basketball games to collect data for further analysis using Word and Excel. They analyze the data in a variety of activities...

Multiplying fractions by whole numbers is the focus of the math lesson presented here. There are three activities outlined in the lesson along with a nifty game learners play on the computer that reinforces their learning. These lessons...

The coordinate plane is a popular place! Identify rotations, reflections, and dilations on the coordinate plane. Pupils work in small groups to match transformations of a figure with the description of the transformation....

Children learning to add numbers up to 11 develop the strategy of using the larger number as the first addend and counting on from there to find a sum. They define addition and review the meaning of the plus (+) symbol. To practice, they...

Eighth graders read a book "Counting on Frank" with a partner. Using the text, they identify eight clues and use their mathematical reasoning in real-life situations. They participate in a game and turn in a notebook in which they write...
