Learners solve problems using ratios and proportions. In this algebra lesson plan, students verify proportions, solve for the unknown and use real life scenario to model proportion.

Students calculate the tangent ratio given a right triangle. In this trigonometry lesson, students use a right triangle and the Pythagorean Theorem to solve problems.

Students play an interactive game online to learn ratios. In this statistics lesson, students solve problems in an online game about ratio and relating statistics to the real world. This lesson provides hands on as well as teaching time.

Learners examine images and preimages of a mapping and identify isometry. They view images by M.C. Escher, observe teacher demonstrations, and create a translation image, a rotation image, and a dilation.

High schoolers analyze data on debt and write an equation. In this statistics lesson, students are given data from different time periods, and are asked to graph and analyze the data. They work in groups, and are assigned different parts...

Using either data provided or data that has been collected, young mathematicians graph linear functions to best fit their scatterplot. They also analyze their data and make predicitons based on the data. This lesson is intended as a...

More than 100 cities around the world have shifted from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. Scholars investigate a city wanting to make this switch, but needs help determining how to make the shift. Groups consider all options,...

Students create and develop a travel mug. They create visuals and a three dimensional infomercial. They apply an engineering design and demonstrate knowledge of thermodynamics involved in heat transfer. They illustrate Newton's Law of...

Young scholars determine their cost of living.  In this determining their cost of living lesson plan, students think of ten necessary things they would need if they moved out of their parents house.  Young scholars research the...

Students describe migrations and life cycle pattersn of a key alfalfa pest, the Porato Leafhopper. They define the Economic Inquiry Level and Economic Threshold. Students evaluate data in relation to profit as it applies to IPM. They...

High schoolers examine the different types of vessels used in commercial shipping.  In this commercial shipping lesson students apply force and motion to problems of marine safety. 

Students solve word problems using the correct math symbols. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI calculator to graph their equation and analyze it. They find the line of regression and use to draw conclusion.

Learners use a variety of resources to discover their personal goals, interests, aptitudes and priorities. They apply these interests to course selection and career choices.

Students apply problem solving techniques to answer a question. After reading a passage, they compare and contrast three species of whale in a quantitative fashion.

Students investigate the concepts related to the practice of designing and building large scale buildings. They conduct research using the internet and other resources in order to apply mathematics and architectural design principals in...

Students explore the parts of the cell. In this cell lesson plan, students use foods to create cell models that represent the nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria, ribosomes, vacuoles, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi bodies...

Pupils often wonder how we know the distance to various stars. Starting with a thought experiment and progressing to a physical experiment, they determine the brightness and distance to various stars. The evaluation requires...

Students identify the different parts of a right triangle. In this geometry lesson, students use the Pythagorean Theorem to identify missing sides and angles of a right triangle. They work with irrational and rational roots.

Students use the Internet to answer lab questions about fractals, and then construct fractals using the initial stage and iteration rule. They complete tables and generate rules for the "nth" term and create their own fractals.

Students use the Pythagorean Theorem to explore sailboat design. In this Pythagorean Theorem lesson, two sides of a triangular sail are measured, and the theorem is used to calculate the third side. A worksheet, bulletin board design,...

Students create reflections over two lines. In this reflections worksheet, students compare and contrast reflections over parallel and intersecting lines. They dilate figures and investigate the effect of the dilation using measurement...

Young scholars calculate the perimeter of shapes. In this geometry lesson, students relate properties of polygons to the real world. They find length, midpoint and slope.
