Learners develop a formula that describes the functional relationship of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Working with a partner, they measure the diameter and circumference of circular objects in order to discover the...

Students create a notebook with divisibility rules in it. For this algebra lesson, students write down the rules that determine the factors of a number. They continue to add to the book and use it to help them on their problems.

Young scholars view a right triangle displayed by the teacher. Students measure legs and the interior angles of the triangle. They look for a pattern or relationship between the legs and angles. Young scholars use pegboards and string to...

Students solve problems involving transformations of geometric figures. They review graphing points in the coordinate plain, plot points and connect to create a triangle. Then, they reflect triangles over the x and y axis and use...

In this triangular numbers worksheet, students create a table of triangular numbers, write a formula for the nth number, and determine the sum of any two consecutive triangular numbers. This two-page worksheet contains five problems.

Students analyze graphs, charts and tables. In this data analysis lesson, students practice creating and analyzing charts, graphs and tables corresponding to sales and surveys. This lesson uses data relevant to students and includes...

Students solve problems dealing with percents. In this algebra lesson, students convert between decimals and percents using factoring. They solve one step problems involving percents.

Middle schoolers solve problems dealing with exponents. In this algebra lesson, students solve problems using interactive online problems. They create visuals and gain a better understanding of the concepts.

Students identify the measure of missing exterior angles. In this geometry lesson,students define and apply the exterior angle theorem to solve problems. They use Cabri software to create different angles and make investigations.

Students calculate the sum of the angles of a polygon. In this geometry lesson, students use the interior angle formula of polygon based on the number of sides of the polygon. They identify the missing angle using algebra.

Examine some properties that don't require a general contractor. Scholars first complete a mental math activity that uses the properties of real numbers. A separate activity formalizes these properties.

New skills are developed as students use graphing calculators and ranger technology to capture and graph the sequence of bounces a ball makes when dropped. After recording the height of four or more bounces, they use the collected data...

In this algebra worksheet, students create arguments using conjectures. They identify the sequence and the pattern and formula. They solve products and prove sum of integers. There are 8 questions.

Ninth graders investigate patterns.  In this first through second grade mathematics instructional activity, 9th graders read Bat Jamboree and create a pictorial representation of a bat pyramid.  Students use the manipulative...

Students graph ordered pairs to model the relationship between numbers. After observing the patterns in ordered pairs, they describe the relationship, and create graphs from a data table. Students describe intervals in the graph, and...

Students attempt a problem that Students has the potential to have more than one solution. Hence the problem is accessible to a wide range of students. The problem is essentially about finding patterns and this is typical of a number of...

Second graders work on the problem with a partner. They examine what they are supposed to be doing. They share the students's solutions making sure than they are looking for patterns along the diagonals.

Students discuss what they know about taxis and how they charge. They read the problem and work in pairs focusing their thinking on the repeating pattern of twos. They then share their solutions and conclude with some class practice...

Students use diagrams or lists to show relationships. They also identify the pattern of triangular numbers. The mathematics behind situations provide a way of problem solving to examine the answers.

Fourth graders use algebra to begin solving a problem. The problem has a real world application to engage learners. The main skill is converting fractions and decimals. Also finding the right number sentence for the word problem is...

Fourth graders practice linear measurement skills by applying various measuring instruments to determine the heights of classmates. By measuring the heights of second graders and fourth graders, they construct tables of height and age...

Eighth graders investigate the Pythagorean Theorem and practice applying the theorem to various triangles. Finally, in the next lesson in the sequence, 8th graders create a song or a story to help them remember the Pythagorean Theorem.

Students explore the concept of big and small. They collect objects from the classroom, sort them by size, and create a graph using Duplo stacking blocks.

Second graders are introduced to the concepts of greater than and less than. This leads to the use of inequalities. The teacher tells the story about an alligator in order to create a fun environment for practicing the objectives of the...
