Find the point that splits the data. The lesson presents to scholars the definition of the median through a teacher-led discussion. The pupils use data lists and dot plots to determine the median in sets with even and odd number of data...

Building upon previous knowledge of sequences, collaborative pairs analyze sequences to determine the type and to make predictions of future terms. The exercises build through arithmetic and geometric sequences before introducing...

Explore using units with scientific notation to communicate numbers effectively. Individuals choose appropriate units to express numbers in a real-life situation. In this 13th lesson of 15, participants convert numbers in scientific...

Students examine several examples of budgets to develop a facility with the components of its formation. Income, expenses, and expenditures are considered and itemized for this lesson.

n a class discussion Students identify events or situations as being likely to occur or unlikely to occur. Then, they work in pairs to generate likely and unlikely statements to share with the class.

Students examine examples of budgets and explore the difficulties of living on a budget. The hands-on activity offers an opportunity to experience a real life application.

How can we estimate the answers when working with decimals? That's what the question is as the class reviews two-digit decimal addition. Have them estimate by rounding to a whole number either before or after they have completed their...

In this home school support worksheet, 2nd graders, with a home support person, review the use of frequency tables to organize and display data. They make their own frequency table and read it with the support person.

Base ten blocks serve as visual representations of numbers that include decimals to the hundredths place. Children compare and order decimals in their math journal as they build the corresponding numbers with base ten blocks.

Groups of Kindergarten students count craft sticks in different groups and name how many they have. They complete simple addition to ten with the use of manipulatives.

Students explore a variety of geometric shapes, name them, and list their characteristics. The shapes are transposed into structures and checked for accuracy.

Twelfth graders identify the parts of an algebraic equation. They consider the many uses of algebra in daily life. They play a game, Algebra Match, where student pairs work to solve equations listed on index cards.

Students coordinate grid points on X and Y axises to plot a physical location. The game of "Battleship is used to present first hand knowledge of this skill.

Young scholars explore the usefulness of algebraic skill development as they make decisions based on their ability to accurately estimate the speed of moving vehicles. The life and death possibilities place an interesting"spin" on this...

Students experience real life by utilizing math skills to plan a household budget and enhance their financial planning skills.

In this home school support worksheet, 2nd graders review the process of measuring with a six inch ruler with a home support person. They practice by measuring small items around the house to the nearest inch.

Students explore multiplying decimals. In this lesson about decimals and multiplication, students follow steps to better understand the concept. Students learn two different ways of multiplying decimals. Students maintain a fuller...

Fourth and fifth graders investigate angles and name them according to the criteria for obtuse, acute, and right angles. They examine a human-made yarn pattern on the floor of their classroom and identify angles, vertices, and types of...

Define and identify the three basic forms of symmetry translation, rotation, and glides with your class. They cut out and arrange paper pattern blocks to illustrate symmetry, create a Cartesian graph, and design a rug with a symmetrical...

Learners explore the Pythagorean Theorem. For this math lesson, pupils solve problems using the Pythagorean Theorem. They select the appropriate numbers to substitute in the formula to solve problems.

Young geometers use the interactive website Cyberchase to practice calculating both area and perimeter. Real world problems encourage learners to discover that we use math each and every day.
