Eighth graders are read the material that is printed in boldface type inside the boxes. Information in regular type inside the boxes and all information outside the boxes should not be read to them. They then find the mean, median,...

Students examine the differences between the portrayal of characters in books and in motion pictures. Using the novel, The Kite Runner, students discuss the ways in which the characters can be interpreted. Students create original...

Engage your class in a discussion about humane treatment of animals by recognizing the basic rights of all races, religions, classes, etc. Have volunteers stand on a milk crate without shoes until they become uncomfortable as an example...

Counting discrete objects and writing the corresponding number is the first steps little ones need to master before they can add or subtract. There are 4 sets of objects for them to count, sets are composed on 3,4, or 5 objects.

If you're looking for engaging, cross-curricular, inquiry-based activities and projects to support your class reading of Carl Hiaasen's Hoot, you've come to the right place!

In this quantitative data worksheet, students examine how vertical line diagrams can be used to display discrete quantitative data. They read about the use of tally charts to create vertical line graphs that display the data. They...

An informative module highlights eight polynomial concepts. Learners work with polynomial functions, expressions, and equations through graphing, simplifying, and solving. 

Your task today: count all the trees on a tree farm. To complete the assignment, learners first estimate the number of trees on a tree farm using random sampling. To improve their own response they then evaluate provided...

While creating models from data, pupils make decisions about precision. Exercises are provided that require linear, quadratic, or exponential models based upon the desired precision. 

Graphs are useful for many things, including seeing how much money you can make. Individuals create a graph of earnings from a job based on the number of hours. They determine the domain and range of the graph and answer challenge...

Eighth graders engage in a lesson that is concerned with the concepts surrounding the interpretation of information included in graphs for analysis of data for probability. They examine circle graphs and differentiate the values of...

Students measure a set of Russian dolls using the metric system. In this measurement lesson plan, students identify certain relationships between sets of measurements by measuring a set of Russian dolls and presenting their findings to...

Fifth graders construct data graphs based upon sets of data. In this graphing lesson, 5th graders read the text If the World Were a Village and discuss how types of graphs accurately represent a large population. Students construct their...

Students calculate the probability of a desired outcome based upon a statistically significant number of discrete events (i.e. endgame free-throw attempts). They participate in an online simulation of basketball free throws.

Fourth graders engage in discussion of various occupations and learn where math fits into the scheme of things. They are diagnostically assessed to determine proficiency in computer, writing, and problem-solving mathematical skills set...

Students examine and analyze the skeletons of various bodies that could represent a cemetary. In groups, they identify a set of common characteristics in which the skeletons are grouped. To end the lesson, they answer questions related...

Learners 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.

Ninth graders investigate the functional relationship of different environmental phenomena. In this math lesson, 9th graders create models of various natural disasters. They use logarithmic and exponential functions to interpret...
