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 instructional activity, 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.

Students solve and graph linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students collect data and plot it to create a linear function. They identify the domain and range of each line.

In this geometry lesson, learners trace the capital letter "T" in different directions to learn how a shape is congruent. Students trace this letter on a sheet of paper, then turn, flip it, and trace it in different directions, only to...

Students utilize the technology of virtual reality in order to perform a construction project. The construction has to do with the making of a reality scene using special Apple Virtual Reality software.

First graders create either an alphabet or number book using Kid Pix software. In this alphabet and/or number unit, 1st graders design a themed alphabet and/or number book using the Kid Pix software over the course of three weeks....

Students investigate methods of estimating through cooperative group activities, hands-on activities, the use of tables and graphs and an interactive video.

Students construct number sentences. In this computation lesson, students participate in a game using four numbers to make the number 24.

Students role play what it would be like to have a physical disability. In this lesson on acceptance, students listen to the book A Rainbow of Friends by P.K. Hallinan. As a class, the students discuss similarities and differences in...

Students research the history of Chinese tangrams and complete tangram activities. In this tangram instructional activity, students complete Internet research to learn the history of Chinese tangrams. Students construct a set of...

Students solve word problems using algebra. In this algebra instructional activity, students rewrite problems using algebraic symbols and representations. They work together to find the answers to real life scenarios using math.

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.

Tenth graders investigate the geometric concept of quadrilaterals. They are given a set of shapes and asked to sort the quadrilaterals from the others. Then working in pairs they discuss the characteristics and write down the description...

Students participate in a race to compare whole numbers. In this number operations lesson, students create the largest 10-digit number and discuss how they constructed the largest number.

Students practice solving problems with non-right triangles. In this precalculus lesson, students define and identify the properties of the Law of Cosine. They solve problems and investigate the history behind Cosine.

Third graders play the game, "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" while subtracting using estimation. I really like the format of this fun game, which utilizes the lifelines and strategies found in the real game on television.
