Prealgebrarians use colored chips, stickers, and pencils to explore the world of integers. They discover absolute value, compare positive and negative integers, and apply operations to them. A detailed procedure for the three-part...

Students work on jumping and landing skills and cooperation. This lesson enables students to better use in space, while learning different colors. In this game, everyone is a winner.

Students discover how the land and people we develop relationships with in Nebraska affect our survival--past, present, and future. They write about and interview their grandparents, parents and peers and compare them with people on the...

Students explore the movement to design low-cost solutions for the world's population and create a graph to represent the information. In this design and graphing lesson, students review the concepts of graphing and visit the...

Students copy, create, describe, and extend patterns with objects. They explore a variety of patterns through the use of manipulatives, sound, rhythms, songs and movement. Cooperative processes are used to encourage partner discussion.

Students compare and contrast similar two and three dimensional shapes within cooperative groups.

Students work cooperatively as a team and accurately throw a Frisbee. In addition, students explore fitness components and different systems of the human body.

Young scholars solve problems using sine and cosine. In this precalculus lesson, students solve word problems using sine and cosine. They identify where it is appropriate to laws of sine and cosine and where to use the Pythagorean Theorem.

Students identify the parts of an engine using a graph. In this statistics lesson, students make a graph from their collected data. They calculate the volume of a cylinder using a line of regression and a scatter plot.

Students participate in designing a city layout using grids and coordinates. They work on a city space and create a grid on a life size layout on the gym floor.

Students explore the relationships of space through movement. Two perform movement improvisation based on over/under. The activity improves hand-eye coordination, cooperation, and communication skills. The timing of the dance also...

Pupils explore the idea that primitive virtual 3D objects can be reshaped to infinitely original combinations using additive and subtractive methods. They create 3-D objects with a computer which necessitates a cooperation of right-brain...

Students explore various aspects of design innovation. In this design instructional activity, links are provided to three innovations from the Design for the Other 90% Web site in order for students to study and evaluate them. Students...

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.

Third graders use the appropriate units of measure when given a list of items to estimate and measure. They work in cooperative groups to locate, estimate, and measure given items using the correct unit of measurement.

Young scholars work in cooperative groups to find the actual measurements of an historical building/landmark. Then they use ratio and proportion to figure the measurements that might be used to create a scale model of the structure.

Tenth graders explore the exterior and interior angles of triangles. They use a theorem in order to prove a theorem about all polygons. Students use the theorem and its applications to find the angles of different types of triangles.

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 DeMoivre's Theorem. In this precalculus lesson plan, 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 sine and cosine. In this precalculus lesson, students apply the properties of sine and cosine to solve non-right triangle problems. They use Heron's Law to find the area of a shape.

Students research destinations and the factors involved in taking a trip and explore how averages play a part in making decisions. They explore how to find the average speed and the distance to a particular destination, they estimate...

Students participate in a nature walk to learn about their natural environments. In this nature study lesson plan, students brainstorm a list of things to look for on their nature walk. Students go on the nature walk and locate objects...

Students solve word problems using the law of sines. In this precalculus lesson, students work in groups as they define vocabulary terms. They apply the formula of sine to answer and solve problems.

Students solve problems using sine and cosine. In this precalculus lesson, students ask questions about the Law of sines and its application to the real world. They derive the correct formula of sine for each problem.
