Students investigate the values of a variety of Roman Numerals and compare and contrast the patterns with Arabic numbers. The application, "Numerus" is utilized to lead students through the lesson.

Sixth graders measure circumference and diameter to the nearest eighth of an inch, record measurements on a spreadsheet, and use the internet to complete a "scavenger hunt" of facts concerning pi.

Learners explore slope as a rate of change. In this eighth grade mathematics lesson, students investigate real-world problems to determine rate of change and transform it into a linear representation, thus determining slope. Learners...

Connect social studies and language arts using this resource. After studying root words, have learners locate five words from their social studies book that have a prefix, suffix, or root word. This puts a new twist on practicing basic...

Pupils multiply positive and negative integers. They represent word expressions with both positive and negative integers and then multiply them. They also create multiplication problems to solve as a class. They create a rhyme, a story,...

Students determine that a fraction is a part of a whole or part of a group. They write and read fractions and solve various fraction problems. They create their own fraction problem using colored candies for their classmate to solve.

Second graders listen to the book, Down Buttermilk Lane by Barbara Mitchell. They discover how to read a grid and then together as a class, plot 2 squares, one yellow and one green. Then they plot the remaining squares independently and...

Students calculate the slope of a line. In this slope lesson, students use a graph, an equation or two points to help them calculate the slope of a line. They differentiate between a slope of zero and an undefined slope.

Students participate in a Mini-Olympics with measurements. In this measurement lesson, students throw items and predict how far they will go. They measure the actual distance and find the difference between that and their estimate. 

Sixth graders examine how to locate coordinate points. In this coordinate graphing lesson, 6th graders locate the x and y axis. Students use their arms to show horizontal and vertical lines, participate in group and...

Students measure angles, perimeter, area and volume. In this geometry lesson, students define different ways to measure and solve for the perimeter, area and volume of geometric shapes. They analyze and process information to help them...
