Students investigate the patterns of different data sets of numbers. They use critical thinking skills in order to find the missing numbers in any given set. This lesson helps to develop the skill of number sense.

Ninth graders participate in a lesson focused on the concept of basic statistics. They find the mean, median, and mode of different data sets. More advanced students could practice creating a bell curve from the data.

Ninth graders explore the concept of a simple equation. They use addition and subtraction in one step in order to find balance to both sides of the equation. Students are encouraged to succeed using positive praise at the beginning of...

Seventh graders investigate the concepts realted to using the Order of Operations. They write an expository paragraph to prepare for the direct instruction of the order or sequence to simplify numerical expressions.

Eighth graders investigate how to combine polynomials using different operations. The use of tiles is done in order to accommodate those who are kinesthetic learners. The sequencing of the lesson is easy to follow.

Eighth graders investigate the concept of combing integers using addition. They begin to comprehend the connection of addition and subtraction. Students also review the concept of positive and negative numbers.

Sixth graders participate in a lesson that focuses on the concept of finding the prime factorization of a number. They write the answer using exponential notation. Students play a game of Bingo to keep engaged during the lesson.

Ninth graders examine sequential number patterns and the Fibonacci sequence. Given number patterns, they determine the next number in a sequence. Students develop their own number patterns and exchange them with another to be solved.

Ninth graders study inequalities. After a teacher demonstration, classmates solve and graph inequality problems. In groups, they are assigned specific tasks that lead to the solving of inequality word problems.

Ninth graders explore solving linear inequalities. They discuss vocabulary words and symbols associated with linear inequalities. After a demonstration by the teacher, 9th graders solve and graph inequalities. Students complete a...

Seventh graders study equivalent fractions. They explore equivalent fractions in a story problem. After a discussion of strategies, 7th graders determine how to compare and simplify fractions. To reinforce the class discussion,...

Seventh graders explore surface area. They study the difference between two and three-dimensional objects. The teacher leads a discussion about finding the surface area of different size cubes. In pairs, 7th graders use graph paper to...

Eighth graders participate in activities to explore communicative and associative properties. Given double color counters, 8th graders create arrangements to demonstrate the properties. They discuss the strategies used to model each...

Eighth graders practice solving real life situations involving area and perimeter. In groups, they are given specific roles in determining the layout of a flowerbed. They find the perimeter and area of the flowerbeds and determine...

Students investigate the concept of symmetry. They use cut out shapes that are folded in order to practice identifying the lines of symmetry. The instructional activity is observed by the teacher working with students for the purpose of...

Ninth graders classify and solve polynomials. They use algebra tiles to add or subtract polynomials. Students solve the area of specific rectangles using algebra tiles. Students identify coefficients and classify polynomials.

Fourth graders examine parallel, perpendicular and intersecting lines. They create a drawing using examples of each type of line. They color code and explain the characteristics of specified lines.

Learners study linear and non-linear equations. After a teacher demonstration, they use calculators to solve and graph equations. They distinguish the difference between linear and non-linear equations.

Students investigate the concept of a linear function. They use geoboards to find the interior angle sums. The sum of the angles is found to equal 180 degrees. Students also investigate quadrilaterals.

Students investigate the concept of reflectons. They investigate how an image has a reflection that is symmetrical. They also choose household objects in order to have real life application for finding lines of symmetry.

Ninth graders investigate the concept of an inequality. They begin the lesson by covering relevant vocabulary. They write an inequality for each word problem given. Then they translate problems from words to algebraic inequalities.

Students study the history and importance of clay and pottery. They observe a video dealing the kiln. Students explore ideas for improving construction of pottery. They demonstrate a variety of construction methods and identify the...

Students are assigned to groups representing minority populations who produce a research project in a digital format from the list. A few of the choices are: speech, letter to the editor, editorial cartoon, etc.

Fifth graders divide themselves into groups of 3 or 4, research 4 different generations, and answer the questions on the handout provided. They then work in cooperative groups to create a poster illustrating their generation.
