Middle schoolers cut an index card to create three similar right triangles and explore the congruencies and proportions that exist. They investigate the properties of lines and concepts of congruency, similarity, tangency and symmetry of...

Students explore the concept of adding and subtracting integers. For this integer lesson, students use strips of paper (various sizes) to add and subtract integers. Students visualize the process of adding and subtracting integers.

Students solve weight equations. In this equations lesson, groups of students weigh and separate pennies to find information necessary to solve simultaneous equations. The teacher provides equations based on the weight of pennies before...

Students explore number patterns and relationships while being introduced to the calculator at the same time.

Fourth graders round to the thousands place using a rhyme.

Pupils actively find the line of best fit. They gather their own data and then use a calculator to find the line of best fit, as well as the equation. They see how to use the TI 81 calculator in order to find the line of best fit.

Students create "snowballs" from crumbled pieces of white paper. They then glue their snowball to the appropriate side of the graph to indicate who has and who has not thrown a snowball. The teacher and the calss then will count how many...

Fourth graders are introduced to the roman numerals C and L. Students are given a worksheet to complete using previously taught roman numerals and the newly introduced ones. Students complete the second half of the worksheet...

Third graders examine the main parts of a bar graph and how to round up to the nearest tenth. They make an example of a bar graph and answer questions based on the graph using a list of state capitals and their average temperatures....

Students create a scatter plot of their experimental data. In this algebra activity, students use M&M's to determine an algebraic model. They discuss results in class.

Seventh graders identify the different graphs used in science. In this graphing lesson, 7th graders analyze the three kinds of graphs. They construct a graph that best describes a given data.

Learners apply data from a weather-related website to predict patterns in the sunrise and sunset.

Third graders read a Fahrenheit thermometer from an actual thermometer. In groups, they are provided with ink pads and a thermometer stamp. They use the stamps on plain white paper and use red pencil to take the temperature readings.

Students use the Kid Pix program to design addition problems, using the "stamp", "line" and "A" tools and partners type the answers to the problems. Partners switch back to their original computer and check the problems.

Students design a United States flag using reasoning. They describe their design to make it easy for it to be duplicated. They share their designs with the class.

Students set up their own monitoring system. They collect samples from an appropriate sampling site. They analyze data and determine the water quality. They present their information to the class and draw a conclusion.

Second graders develop an awareness of the power of their minds to work with visual images. All the activities in this unit help strengthen visualization that is an important tool or process in Geometry.

Students are given a budget and an alternative-fuel vehicle. Using a map of Texas, they are given a starting point and determine how to arrive at their destination within 72 hours. They use the internet to research the alternative fuel...

High schoolers investigate the given statistics about temperatures in cities around the nation in order to look for a pattern. They measure the mean, median, and mode for the data set of temperatures.

Students create a book about their school experience entitled, "(Student's name) Goes to School." They identify who their friends are and discuss and list them as one page in their booklets. Students also listen to a story read by the...

Learners observe and demonstrate a variety of basic geometric constructions using the Triman Safety Compass. Using the compass, they draw circles, bisect a line segment, construct an angle, bisect an angle, copy an angle, and create...

Middle schoolers record two consecutive days of food intake. They identify which nutrients are below 70%. They compare diet composition between protein, fats, and carbohydrates. They evaluate fat in the diet to fall below the American...

Second graders listen to the story Miss Nelson is Missing by Harry Allard and James Marshall. In this literature activity, 2nd graders predict the story's ending with drawings and discussions within groups.

Young scholars investigate the classification process and nomenclatures used for classifying organisms. They study dichotomous keys to identify organisms with 90% accuracy. Students organize information regarding the relatedness of species.
