Students solve equations using the quadratic formula. In this quadratic equations lesson, students use digital cameras to film students jumping and import film clips into a computer. Students use the data in the quadratic formula...

Learners explore bar graphs. In this math lesson, students create and conduct a survey. Learners graph their data in a bar graph.

Students collect and explore gingerbread man data. In this math and technology lesson plan, students examine how to organize and interpret data in three formats: objects, pictures, and graphs.  

Students investigate the impact of human activity on the environment.  In this secondary math/science lesson, students analyze and interpret information from data and graphs as they investigate trends in climate change and the...

Pupils use the colors in their fraction circles to answer short answer questions about fractions. In this fractions lesson plan, students count the colors of their fraction circles and add them together to make fractions.

Fourth graders use inductive reasoning to find algebraic patterns in geometric figures. They use technology (i.e., calculators, computers) and manipulatives to discover number patterns involving geometric concepts. They solve concrete...

Students practice measuring with formulas. In this measurement lesson, students complete an activity that requires them to calculate perimeter, area, and volume.

Find the sequence of an equation with your math super stars. They differentiate between arithmetic and geometric sequences and then calculate the sum of finite and infinite sequences.

Students calculate the revolution and circumference of circles. In this calculus lesson, students derive the formulas for their given shape. They use the d=rt to calculate the distance and rate of travel.

Your youngest mathematicians skip count by 2's, 5's, and 10's as they sing along to a Hap Palmer song that helps them remember the patterns. Students practice in whole group and then individually with the worksheet provided, using the...

Because there is only one place-value problem here and a detailed explanation below, use this as an all-class warm up. Learners write 369 in expanded form with a little assistance by a place value table. They can fill in the hundreds,...

Students plot complex numbers in the polar plane. They convert complex numbers in polar form to rectangular form. Students plot coordinates in the polar plane. They plot complex numbers in the complex plane. Students are asked to...

Learners investigate the results of different propulsion methods. In this propulsion lesson, students measure the distance a test toy car goes using different types of propulsion. They record the distances in data tables before...

In this vocabulary worksheet, students match a given vocabulary word to the correct definition.  Words include such terms as altitude, centroid, circumcenter, circumscribed circle, inscribed circle, median and...

Students discover that earnings drive stock prices. They look for earnings growth from the continuing operations of a business. They also use price-to-earnings ratio as one of the tools in choosing stocks for the Global Stock Game.

Rates and ratios can easily be applied to real-world situations. Learners explore a series of websites in order to procure comparable data. They define ratios and rates, view videos, and use the internet to explore how ratios and rates...

Middle and high schoolers investigate how to solve inequalities. The activity has a good guide for taking pupils through a direct instruction of the concept. You can use counting tiles in order to help kinesthetic learners.

In this roots and the Pythagorean Theorem worksheet, learners solve 15 different types of problems related to square roots and applying the Pythagorean Theorem. They first determine the square root of each number and then, the cube root....

Students explore the concept of piecewise functions. In this piecewise functions lesson, students graph piecewise functions by hand and find the domain and range. Students make tables of values given a piecewise function. Students write...

Explore the concept of number bonds with your young elementary students. They will become familiar with the number bonds to 10, 20, and 100, and then play games to practice these skills. This is a differentiated lesson which includes an...

Students explore environmental issues by completing a food production class activity. In this carbon footprint lesson, students discuss the types of foods they eat, where they come from and what types of methods are used to transport...

Put time into context by relating it to familiar meal times. Scholars examine two analog clocks and one digital clock to determine the times displayed. Each is labeled with a meal time for the hypothetical "Robert." They use their...

Two visual problems give mathematicians a chance to compare fractions with like denominators. They examine two pairs of shapes with portions filled in, adding the greater than, less than, or equal to symbol between each. The shape pairs...

First graders use bean bags, dominos, number trains, counters, paper clips, flashcards, beads and more in a variety of centers to practice basic addition and subtraction facts.
