Students use a given spreadsheet to investigate an iterative process by changing the variables. They design their own spreadsheet to investigate the iterative process.

Students explore arithmetic and numerical patterns. After observing a teacher created function box, students describe a pattern and predict what will "come out" of the function box. They explore patterns such as geometric shapes,...

Students solve negative exponential functions. In this algebra lesson plan, students define the properties for rewriting functions with negative and zero exponents. They use a robot to create a visual of what is happening to the negative...

Students use problem solving skills to create various models of tricubes, tetracubes, and pentacubes. They classify the cubes into various groupings and identify them as mirror images, regular arrangements, and irregular arrangements....

Give your class a list of multiplication and division sentences that contain both positive and negative integers. Have them analyze them to see if they can discover the pattern with the signs. From these patterns, help them develop the...

Students investigate patterns of inverse functions. In this algebra instructional activity, students represent functions with the calculator and on paper. They analyze their data and draw conclusions.

Students solve single variable equations. In this missing addend lesson, students solve problems with missing addends. Students create a function box to help study numerical reasoning.

Third graders use tables to organize and display related pairs of numbers, such as the relationship of the number of insects to the total number of legs. They generate a table of related number pairs based on a real-life situation,...

Middle schoolers solve integers using addition. In this algebra activity, students add integers using counters. They define and label patterns created by integer operations.

Students explore codes, decode secret messages, and create codes of their own to use with their friends. They examine the use of gestures, letters, symbols and numbers in codes.

Middle schoolers create line graphs for given data in Microsoft Excel. Students follow step by step instructions on how to create their graph, including how to create a trend line. Middle schoolers print graphs without trend lines and...

Students identify the different outcomes given a situation. For this algebra lesson, students calculate the possible outcome using the counting principle. They compare and analyze patterns to make their predictions.

Second graders explore and solve an algebraic word problem. They listen to a poem about pirates, describe the word problem in their own words, and independently solve the problem using colored rods to represent the pirates and treasure...

Students factor and solve quadratic equations.In this algebra lesson, students identify the roots of an equation using the quadratic formula. They graph and identify the properties of a parabola.

Students take part in various activities ranging from creating a human clock, to small group problem solving to reinforce the concept of telling time accurately to five minutes on an analog clock.

Young scholars make predictions and analyze soil. In this soil properties lesson, students make predictions about soil properties for various soil samples. Young scholars examine the types of soils and record their observations. Students...

Young scholars identify the equation to represent a circle. In this algebra lesson, students review properties of conics and how they are related. they use a robot to create a visual of circles and their application to the real world.

Learners collect data from measurements and weights for this experiment. In this algebra lesson, students analyze graphs they create form their data to find the expression representing the data. They label which graph provided the best...

Students investigate the economy and the market value of goods. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between domestic goods value and international good value. The define and identify the importance of GDP or Gross Domestic...

Students investigate geometric shapes by creating figures on a plane. In this polygon lesson, students complete a worksheet based on the angles in a power polygon. Students identify the different types of polygons and define their...

Pupils identify patterns found in nature. In this algebra lesson, students model situation in nature using fractals. They investigate biological geometric structures and draw conclusion based on geometric concepts.

Young scholars become "shape detectives" as they identify, name, create and describe common shapes within pictures and objects found within the learning environment. Suggestions include incorporating shapes into all learning areas and...

Sixth graders examine two-way classification systems using four mutually exclusive groups and two dimensions simultaneously. They then are given a set of plastic animals, asked to create a two-way classification system, then asked to...

Pupils use interactive geometry exploration software (GES) to create a two-point perspective drawing. They explore basic geometry concepts in and geometric transformations of the model of a rectangular prism viewed from different...
