First graders complete center activities as they practice their addition and subtraction skills. They listen to Rick Walton's, "How Many, How Many, How Many" before playing games, and completing addition and subtraction worksheets at...

Students explore the concept of the corner problem. In this corner problem lesson, students use the TI-NSpire to determine the maximum length a rod can be and still pass horizontally around a corner. Students use similar triangles to...

Fifth graders discuss the relationship between equivalent fractions, ratios, and proportions. In this fraction lesson, 5th graders answer questions about a punch mixture in order to find the ratio of ingredients.

Fifth graders practice using the scientific method by observing and creating mold.  In this bacteria instructional activity, 5th graders experiment creating their own mold and fungus using petri dishes and oatmeal.  Students...

Students explore the concept of ellipses including finding the center, vertices's, foci and eccentricity. They assess how to graph elliptical functions and solve application problems involving ellipses. This assignment is to be completed...

Pupils find the center, vertices, foci, and eccentricity of ellipses using the subscriptions website www.explorelearning.com. They graph elliptical functions and solve application problems involving ellipses.

Hopefully nothing gets lost in translation. Pupils translate between verbal phrases and algebraic expressions. They then use candy to determine what values to substitute into the expressions.

Examine some properties that don't require a general contractor. Scholars first complete a mental math activity that uses the properties of real numbers. A separate activity formalizes these properties.

Mathematics is all about patterns. Young mathematicians analyze geometric patterns to write algebraic expressions. They use the expressions to predict future stages of the patterns.

Eighth graders use a meter stick that is placed on a horizontal surface and an object is moved along it so that the shadow length can be measured at different distances from the light source. They solve real-world problems involving...

Students explore the use of matrices and graphing calculators to solve a complex linear programming problem. They test their solutions to determine the best division of land use for the city.

Students solve problems by identifying exponential growth and decay and differentiating between patterns, relation and functions. In this algebra lesson, students apply concepts of exponential growth to solve problems.

Students are able to solve kinetic energy problems. They are introduced to kinetic energy. Students are shown examples of how to solve kinetic energy problems using the formula: Velocity= Distance/Time.

Seventh graders investigate how changes in the mass or height of a ramp can affect the change in potential energy. They discuss the concepts of work and energy, then using the four question strategy, they design an experiment that...

Young scholars examine the differences between a virus and a bacteriophage. They explore various websites, identify the parts of a virus and a bacteriophage, and construct a model of a virus or bacteriophage.

Students find the constant of proportionality and apply it to a situation. They use the electrical resistance in a wire as a context for finding the constant of proportionality. In addition, they write an explanation and justification of...
