Students complete problems on normal distribution equations. For this algebra lesson plan, students complete 11 problems out of their text book.

Young scholars calculate the slope of a line. In this algebra instructional activity, students graph a line using the slope and y-intercepts. They define the steepness of the line using the slope.

Fourth graders identify the counties of Arizona. In this social studies lesson, 4th graders color a county map of Arizona using the fewest number of colors possible. Students write a persuasive paragraph.

Students investigate the pros and cons of the lottery. In this algebra instructional activity, students use the formulas for permutation and combination to test their arguments about the lottery. They collect data about their argument...

Learners discuss skyscrapers and listen as the teacher introduces the project. They use the Internet to perform research on one skyscraper. Students use information they gather to create a brochure of their building . They create an...

High schoolers examine the concept of scatter plots. They compare baseball statistics to locate the ones that correlate with winning, and identify the positive, negative, and no correlation in sets of data using MS Excel.

Discrete mathematics deals with areas of mathematics that are discrete, as opposed to continuous, in nature. Sequences and series, counting problems, graph theory and set theory are some of the many branches of mathematics in this...

This supplement presents a wide variety of interesting and important applications in discrete mathematics, grouped in individual chapters for thorough treatment of each application. Each chapter contains its own set of Examples and...

A thorough list of topics in the study of Discrete Mathematics. Combinatorics, Graph Theory, and Point Lattices are three of the many areas given in-depth explanations here. Many of the links contain discussions of the topics that both...

The Contemporary Mathematics in Context series provides a common core of broadly useful mathematics for all students. The discrete mathematics strand develops student ability to model and solve problems involving enumeration, sequential...

These problems are collections of home works, quizzes, and exams over the past few years. Most of the problems are from Discrete Mathematics with ap-plicationsby H. F. Mattson, Jr. (Wiley). Our main emphasis is to provide the student a...

This resource provides short descriptions, with links to longer explanations, of examples of discrete mathematics as applied to our everyday lives and as used in important and interesting research and corporate applications.

MathWorld provides a huge mathematics encyclopedia detailing the concepts of geometry, algebra, calculus, discrete math, number theory, and other math topics--complete with formulas, diagrams, examples, and references for thorough...

This article is an in-depth look at graphs. Topics covered are graph models, terminology, representations of graphs, graph isomorphism, connectivity, Euler and Hamiltonian Paths, and more. Examples and explanations are included.

This lesson will define graphs in discrete mathematics, and look at some different types. You'll also see how these types of graphs can be used in some real-world applications.

Explanation and questions about Euler paths and circuits with solutions to the questions.

Over a dozen topics in the field of Applied Mathematics are explored here. Each link contained detailed explanations of the area in question, along with examples and sketches that both teachers and students will find helpful.

A pdf version of lecture notes covering a variety of relations.

Practice using your graphing calculator for factorial, combination, and permutation expressions. If you get stumped or if you would like to check your work, then select the View Solution button, which is located directly under each problem.

This series of activities incorporates the concept of graph theory into the discrete mathematics classroom. Students work in a group to solve problems using graph theory.

A lesson plan on the use of Venn diagrams for problem-solving.

Definitions, explanations and examples of relationships of the elements of sets.

This is an activity that may be instructive when trying to learn the concept of "odds" and how they are found.
