Young scholars study West Virginia quilts. In this mathematics lesson, students use symmetry, geometric shapes, and patterns to create their own quilt square.

Learners investigate the placements of numbers on a number line. In this algebra lesson, students visualise addition and subtraction on a number line.

Young scholars solve problems using the metric system. In this algebra lesson, students convert between the metric system and the Imperial system. They use these two systems to solve real life problems.

Second graders explore estimation and measurement. In this estimation and measurement activity, 2nd graders use footsteps to measure distances around the classroom. Students sing songs to measure the number of beats from one area to the...

Students use math skills and create a spreadsheet. In this statistics and computer skills lesson plan, students gather ACC basketball statistics, convert fractions to decimals and then percents. Students use the gathered information to...

Fourth graders investigate patterns and sequences.  In this patterns and sequences lesson, 4th graders use a hundreds chart to build recurring patterns.  Students skip count by threes and fives on a hundreds chart by coloring...

Students change the scale of a work of art using ratios, percentages, and proportions. While this is technically an art lesson, there is quite a bit of mathematics involved in converting to the correct scale.

Students explore the American cattle industry history. In this United States history and reading comprehension cross curriculum lesson, students read an article about the history of longhorn cattle, then answer comprehension questions on...

Students explore how shapes can make patterns then make connections as to how elements in a pattern relate to one another. In this matter of pattern lesson, students create a multi-folded paper snowflake. Students engage in a...

In this perimeter and area lesson plan, students learn the formulas for perimeter and area and view model problems using tiles. Students work in groups to solve practice problems. Students define perimeter and area and explain...

Students explore the physical properties of eggs. In this scientific observation lesson, students define characteristics of eggs, measure eggs vertically and horizontally, and use the scientific method to perform simple experiments using...

Students examine proportionality in Wind in the Willows by comparing Mr. Toad, objects proportional to him and objects proportional to humans. They then measure a stuffed Mr. Toad and make common objects proportional to Mr. Toad???s...

Students design a geometric garden. Shapes to be included are squares, triangles, and hexagons. After reading a book together about shapes, students get to use construction paper to cut out and design their own shape garden.

Determine the quickest process for solving quadratics. Pupils compare the number of steps in the process of solving quadratics using three different methods. Scholars determine which situations lend themselves to the different solving...

How does a change in amplitude or period affect the equation of a sine function? Scholars move sliders to change the frequency and period of the sine function. The interactive displays the resulting equation, and pupils determine the...

How many different ways can three planes intersect? The interactive provides three movable planes. Pupils manipulate the planes to determine the number of solutions possible based upon their intersections.

Students are introduced to maps, scale representations, ratios and cartography. They plot the itinerary for their family's dream vacation or a trip across the United States. Using maps, they determine the short route and second longer...

Students examine new shape possibilities by combining two and four triangles using manipulatives.

Ninth graders examine rates, matrices, histograms, line graphs, data analysis and data presentation in order to develop an understanding of how these concepts apply to a the effects of a specific disease.

Students experiment and discuss circuits and how they work. In this science lesson, students construct a telegraph machine using cardboard, wires, battery, electric tape and masking tape. They investigate what happens as the circuits...

Eighth graders measure in feet and inches and convert to explore the relationship between the converted measurements. In this measurement lesson, 8th graders use the whisker and box plot to represent the measurement of a cat. ...

Take your class out to visit your automobile and use the tires to compute the weight of the vehicle. This is done by measuring the surface of the tire meeting the ground and the air pressure. This is a fun lesson in the relationship...

Students solve problems using estimation and exact calculations. In this algebra lesson plan, students use gum balls and thread to create hands on manipulatives to solve problems. They calculate the average of their total data.

Students calculate the area of different polygons. In this geometry instructional activity, students draw shapes using different scale factors. They calculate and make sure there is enough room for te soccer arena through their...
