Students explore the concept of scale and ratio.  In this scale and ratio lesson, students work in groups to measure a given space such as a hallway, office, or gym.  Students measure their area using a meter stick. ...

Students identify word problems that show stereotyping and calculate the percentages.

Students calculate the speed, motion and distance of a projectile. In this geometry lesson, students obtain measurements while calculating velocity. They graph their results and make predictions.

Learners identify DeMoivre's Theorem. In this precalculus lesson, students derive the law of sine and cosine as it relates to DeMoivre's Theorem. They identify the best time to use these formulas.

Students solve problems using the law of sine and cosine. In this precaclulus lesson, students learn the law of DeMoivre's Theorem and Heron's theorem. They use both theorems to solve problems.

Second graders use cards to create 3-digit addition problems and add them together. In this addition lesson plan, 2nd graders add numbers with and without regrouping. Students use a deck of cards to play an addition game in pairs. A very...

Students identify shapes and manipulate 2 and 3 dimensional objects. They view objects from different perspectives and review relative positions (near, far, between). They sing a shape song.

Students illustrate the order of operations and evaluate expressions using the order of operations. They create and correctly at least 3 out of 4 expressions using the order of operations.

Students utilize a digital camera to record interesting objects in their environment.  For this ecology lesson, students participate in a mini-field trip around their campus as they take 2-3 pictures of the school environment....

Learners collect, graph and analyze data. In this statistics instructional activity, students measure the heart beat of a person as they listen to music. They use the CBL and TI to create a graph, analyzing the outcome.

Students create a list of products with estimated prices. In this algebra lesson, students learn to write equations using variables. They match their created list with that of actual products and compare their prices,

Young scholars research the four geologic eras of Earth's history. In this extension on a fossils lesson, students research the different eras of Earth's history. Young scholars use AppleWorks to create a bar graph containing information...

Students use Skittles as manipulatives to practice computing decimals from fractions, computing decimals into percentages, and creating bar graphs from gathered data.

Students collect real data on sound. In this algebra activity, students use a CBL and graphing calculator to observe the graph created by sound waves. They draw conclusion about the frequency of sound from the graph.

Students use the CBL and voltage probe to observe electricity. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI calculator with the CBL to explore Ohm's Law. They discuss exponential equations and how it relates to Ohm's Law.

Students find equations of parabolas in real world scenarios.  In this finding equations of parabolas in real world scenarios instructional activity, students find the equations of parabolas of US landmarks.  Students put a...

Learners create geometric shapes with a jump rope. In this interdisciplinary lesson, students review the different shapes while getting some physical activity.

Students collect data using the CBL. In this statistics lesson, students predict the type of graph that will be created based on the type of activity the person does. The graph represents heart rate depending the level of activity.

First graders use bean bags, dominos, number trains, counters, paper clips, flashcards, beads and more in a variety of centers to practice basic addition and subtraction facts.

Students create a class "quilt" made of paper. In this hands-on symmetry lesson, students fold paper to create symmetrical figures then work in groups to color quilt patches that will form together to make a symmetrical class quilt.

Young scholars construct and test balloon rockets and a model rocket. In this rocket science instructional activity, students use an inquiry-based method to master balloon rockets and have a shoot-off with the goal of attaining the...

Students perform an experiment. In this combinations lesson, students complete an experiment where they find out how many ice cream cone combinations they can make with 5 different flavors of ice cream and 4 types of cones. They design a...
