Eighth graders use ratios and proportions to solve real-life problems.  In this using ratios and proportions to solve real-life problems lesson, 8th graders estimate the cost of a road trip.  Students estimate the distance...

Sixth graders investigate the concept of ratios and how they can be used to represent the comparison of quantities. The lesson is taught using a table or graph to compare two categories of data.

Sixth graders use ratios to solve unit problems. Pupils write ratios in three different ways. In groups, they perform a bean activity, find ratios, and write them in simplest form.

In this Algebra I instructional activity, 9th graders work with a family member to graph inequalities on a number line. The two page instructional activity contains five questions. Answers are included.

Fourth graders find the volume of solids. In groups, 4th graders use spinners to determine the dimensions of solids. They construct the shapes, creating a model of the figure Students count the cubes in the model to determine the...

Fifth graders locate points on a coordinate plane. Through lecture and observation, they discover the parts of the coordinate plane and how to plot an ordered pair. Students locate x and y values in an ordered pair.

Fifth graders investigate the concept of a function in relationship to how it is used. The concept is essential for the future study of Algebra. They apply the use of patterns with its relationship to functions.

Tenth graders identify angles formed by parallel lines and a transversal. Using meter sticks and bolts, they perform hands-on activities to demonstrate the properties of parallel lines and congruent angles. They color code diagrams to...

Students participate in a lesson that is concerned with the concepts of arrays and factors. They use a Hershey bar and divide it into segments in order to simulate the arrays. Then students construct other arrays from the leftover pieces.

For this daily schedule and time worksheet, learners fill in the 7 blanks in 7 sentences to reveal the time of day that they partake in 7 activities.

Learners explore basic probability.  In this Algebra II/Geometry lesson, students use modeling to solve basic probability problems involving real-life applications. 

Young scholars calculate the slope of parallel and perpendicular lines.In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between parallel and perpendicular lines. They graph their lines using the slope of the equation.

Students find the slopes for perpendicular and parallel lines. In this geometry lesson plan, students differentiate between parallel and perpendicular lines. They use Cabri software to create lines to compare.

Students graph the slopes of a line using the intercepts. In this precalculus lesson, students identify the properties of a curve slope. They find the limit and use a graping calculator to graph their lines.

Pupils investigate the separation of mixtures using plant pigments. Using everyday items, they demonstrate the separation of pigments in plants through the process of chromatography.

High schoolers investigate plant structure and the process of photosynthesis. Using everyday items, they demonstrate that the leaves and stems of plants can act like a straw. In addition, they identify plant structure.

Students explain how the earth's magnetic field works and looks. They create their own free-floating compass using the everyday materials. After constructing their compass, they test it and determine north.

In this vocabulary and word study instructional activity, learners categorize 8 everyday words as they use the 8 clues to correctly complete the crossword puzzle.

Students gain practice in the analysis of various types of graphs common in daily life. These examples often use graphic images like charts, graphs, tables, and pictures to supplement learning.

Students experiment with common objects such as spools, string and soap to determine how pulleys make it easier to move large objects. They look at the difference between fixed and movable pulleys. They examine the many uses engineers...

Sixth graders investigate scale models of toys.  In this scale models of toys lesson, 6th graders bring in toys from home to measure.  Students discuss scale and what scale is used with their toys.  Students determine the...

Students explore and examine how patterns, measurement, ratios and proportions are utilized in the research development and production of airplanes. They meet a pilot from the Federal Aviation Association who describes the growth of air...

A mathematical role play using Lake and Island Boards where students plan to move from Jabberwocky to their new planet

Third graders observe angles in their classroom and create an angle finder to represent them.In this angles lesson, 3rd graders classify angles as acute, obtuse, right or straight. Students find the differences and similarities in angles.
