Students model three-dimensional objects using cubes. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the volume and derived the amount mathematically. They use different objects to create two and three-dimensional objects.

Students graph many sets of data from the Albatross Project including, flight distances, flight destinations, time between feedings, weight gain of the baby albatross, hatching and fledging dates

Students create projects on Astronomy using math concepts and use of Internet resources.

A lesson in personal finance can be the most valuable part of a high school education. Connect the basics of banking with informational reading skills in a lesson that prompts teenagers to answer a series of questions based on...

High schoolers determine the linear equations of the density of water and oil by collecting data on the mass of various volumes of each liquid. They construct scatter plots from the data and use these to write the linear equations for...

Three angles in a triangle, three-dimensional space, it all seems connected somehow. Given several different triangles, pupils use the three angles of the triangle as coordinates to plot points in three-dimensional space. They explore...

Learn the importance of geometry to tailors. Given a shirt sewing pattern, scholars determine the actual size of the shirt. After which they answer questions that require problem solving and extending their understanding of scale.

Young mathematicians learn how to solve problems involving stratified sampling. They review concepts of sampling and proportionality by watching a video and then they complete a worksheet of questions on this topic.

Learners investigate properties of circles. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between similarity and congruence as they observe polygons. They investigate properties of two and three dimensional shape.

Pupils identify symmetry in road signs. In this geometry lesson, students explore objects in the real world for symmetry. They perform translation, rotation and reflection.

Third graders recognize that the larger the denominator of a fraction, the smaller the piece you have.  In this fraction lesson, 3rd graders compare fractions and order them from largest to smallest. Students complete an exercise...

Young scholars utilize their knowledge of the physical properties of matter such as mass, volume, and density to solve a problem. They utilize the scientific method to solve a problem. Pupils analyze their data to determine whether...

Sixth graders participate in an simulated investment activity. They examine the purpose of different types of investments before they predict which will be the most successful. Finally, they simulate investing $1,000 in stocks, $1,000 in...

Students create a dichotomous key. In this categorizing lesson, students create a dichotomous key for different types of cereal. Students classify the cereal into groups such as flakes and cereal with holes. Students discuss their...

Students identify patterns found in nature. In this algebra lesson, students model situation in nature using fractals. They investigate biological geometric structures and draw conclusion based on geometric concepts.

Students investigate two and three dimensional shapes. In this geometry lesson, students write equations of circles and graph them correctly. They create pictures using circles.

Students solve real life situation using the Pythagorean Theorem. For this geometry lesson, students calculate the length, midpoint and slope of segments. They solve word problems using properties of square roots.

Learners solve and verify the solution for unknown measures. In this geometry lesson, students identify the properties of circles. They use the arc, angle and segment relationship to find the missing measures.

Students differentiate between parallel and perpendicular lines. In this geometry instructional activity, students make conjectures and apply it to solve real life situations. They collect data and make predictions based on the data.
