Sixth graders find the perimeters of polygons and use perimeters to form polygons. For this perimeter lesson, 6th graders study vocabulary associated with finding perimeter such as polygon, line segment, variable, and formula. They make...

Students investigate variables which may seem to affect the movement of a pendulum, or "swing."They interpret their observations and apply the scientific principles to develop explanations and solve a new problem.

Pupils investigate financial applications of mathematics in this mathematics lesson. They will investigate equations that represent a company’s income, expense, and profit functions and use those equations to identify break even points...

Students collect weed seeds from three varieties of weeds (knapweed, thistle, or toadflax, for example they may choose others in addition to the spotted knapweed.) They sterilize soil for thirty containers, plant seeds in sterile soil,...
