Students calculate the area under a curve. In this calculus lesson, students integrate the function to find the area under the curve. They use the Ti to create a visual of the graph.

Third graders use fractions to describe part of a set. In this fractions lesson, 3rd graders are introduced to fractions through a book and use pattern blocks to describe a fraction as a part of a set. This lesson includes a scripted...

Students create an image using given coordinates and evaluate how the coordinates change when a slide or rotation takes place.

Young scholars examine transformations. In this math lesson, students view and describe flips, slides, and turns. Young scholars practice making transformations with shapes.

Sixth graders explore lines and angles. They create visual representations of lines, rays and angles by drawing them on paper and using a geoboard. On paper, 6th graders write a summary of the characteristics of their representations.

Students explore the concept of Mandelbrot sets and Julia sets. In this Mandelbrot and Julia set lesson, students use a function integrator applet to investigate two-variable function iterations. Students use Julia set and Mandelbrot set...

Students examine the art of Pysanky. Using the Internet, they identify the cultural similarities and differences between the United States and the Ukraine. Using Pysanky's art, they discover the symbolism he used in his artwork and...

Fourth graders design their own letter graph, and then produce the resulting graphs after a translation, reflection, and rotation. After a review of vocabulary, 4th graders create their graphs using crayons.

Learners explore the concept of fractals. In this fractals lesson, students play the "Chaos Game" via an applet. Learners place dots on the screen to recognize that they have created Sierpinski's Triangle.

Fifth graders create a reflection of a poygon using a Mira. They discover that a line connecting a vertiex of a polygon and the corresponding vertex of its reflection is perpendicular to the line of reflection. Students create a glide...

Tenth graders investigate the volume of a cylinder.  In this geometry lesson, 10th graders create three-dimensional cylinders and use a ruler to determine the dimensions.  The lesson progresses to the use of the formula to find...

Students investigate the Pythagorean Theorem.  In this seventh through twelfth grade geometery lesson plan, students explore the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse and use it to find the length of the missing side of a right...

Students calculate the area of parallelograms. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of parallelograms and use to to solve problems. They create polygons using Cabri software.

Students explore the concept of the Pythagorean Theorem. In this Pythagorean Theorem lesson, students derive the distance formula and slope of a line from the Pythagorean Theorem.

Fifth graders investigate mathematical concepts related to the construction of a three dimensional cube. They construct the cube from two dimensional patterns and compute the surface area. Students also define the faces, edges, and...

Students use triangles to find the length and slope of each side. After connecting the vertices, they add points based on their specific instructions. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to complete a worksheet to end the lesson.

In this graphical interpretation of vectors learning exercise, students execute operations of addition and multiplication by a scalar. They sketch results and determine the commutativity of vector addition. This three-page learning...

Students collect and analyze data using a graph. In this algebra lesson, students explain their findings orally and with a graph. They use their knowledge to solve real life scenarios.

Students differentiate between ellipse and hyperbola. In this algebra lesson, students graph and solve elliptical equations. They use the cabri program to create the different conics and move them around.

Fifth graders, after seeing Honeycomb examples, complete a Classifying Angles worksheet, Clock worksheet, and Defining Angles worksheet.

Students explore tessellations that are found in nature and everyday objects. They observe the works of M.C. Escher. Students create their own tessellations using pencil and paper.

Twelfth graders solve problems involving linear and angular speed. Using information about a compact disc, they solve the problem using multiple rates and conversion factors. Students also solve additional problems involving bicycle...
