Most middle schoolers probably feel that quilting is at best an activity left to their grandmothers. This lesson uses the Zome modeling system to get them to realize how shapes in quilting are really tessellations and repeating patterns....

Students solve problems using the Pythagorean Theorem. In this geometry lesson,students identify the right angle, hypotenuse and legs of a right triangle. They find the missing sides using the ratios of the Pythagorean theorem.

Pupils investigate the properties of the Pythagorean Theorem. In this geometry lesson, students identify the missing angles and sides of a right triangle. They label the hypotenuse and legs of a right triangle correctly.

Young scholars move from one parachute to another, based on a color called out by the teacher. Students attempt to move before the teacher counts to five. Young scholars discuss direction and moving in clockwise and counter clockwise...

Learners calculate the height and altitude of a pyramid. In this geometry lesson, students define the parts that make up a pyramid. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing parts of a pyramid.

Students investigate the different properties of trigonometry. In this precalculus lesson, students find the six different identities of trigonometric ratios. They relate the ratios to that of a right triangle and apply it to real life...

Students read a book and engage in three different activities. In this lesson about repetitive story patterns, students read a story, The Flea's Sneeze, and examine how the story has a rhythmic pattern of rhyming verse that sounds like a...

Students explore echolocation of animals. They examine how dolphins and other echolocating animals use their senses to locate and identify objects without using their sense of sight. Through experimentation, they discover how sound waves...

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

Students solve problems using the pythagorean Theorem. In this geometry lesson, students complete proofs using the Pythagorean Theorem. They share their proofs and solutions with their classmates and family members.

Students identify various patterns. In this patterns lesson, students assemble paper flowers by using patterns. Students discuss how they constructed their flower.

Students collect natural objects and draw these objects with and without shading.

Young scholars see circles in real life and have fun with them

Students explain how the food chain works. They contrast predators with prey and describe their function in nature. Students discuss how the food chain aids in keeping nature balanced. In small groups, they play a game that simulates the...

This project resulted from of the collaboration of a computer aided drafting teacher, Chris Bond, and a math teacher, Lee Cable, (Hewitt-Trussville High School) to provide higher math expectations in CT and real life application in...
