What did gender have to do with the survival rates of the Donner Party? Using comparative box plots, classes compare the ages of the survivors and nonsurvivors. Using the same method, individuals make conclusions about the...

Count the connections between dots. Young mathematicians come up with a method to determine the number of connections between pairs of dots. The assessment leads the class to determine the connections they can make when groups are...

Patch up any misconceptions about writing functions. Scholars undertake a performance task that has them first examine a pattern in patchwork cushions. They represent the patterns in triangular and rectangular blocks using a table and as...

Develop a complete understanding of the course. Pupils and teachers use the six free-response questions to gather information about aspects of the AP® Statistics course. The resource and test section show how items cover the content. A...

Update the statistics in your course using older AP® questions. The 2003 AP® Statistics free-response questions cover several of the concepts in the current statistics standards for all pupils. Items contain questions about...

So that is how they do it! Pupils and teachers see how College Board assesses topics using the free-response questions from Form B of the 2007 AP® Statistics test. The six questions are divided in two sections, the first five being...

Statistically speaking, the content covers several grades. Featuring all of the statistics typically covered in a college-level Statistics course, the expansive content spans from sixth grade on up to high school. Material...

In this pattern block symmetry instructional activity, students analyze one half of a snowflake design. Students cover the design with pattern blocks and complete the design so that the dotted line is a line of symmetry.

Students identify symmetry and create their own frog design. Students apply hand-eye coordination in placing their designs of cross-stitch netting. Students identify with new textures. Students present and analyze their design once...

In this pattern blocks worksheet, students cover the given shape with pattern blocks and trace each block in the design. Students make sure the design has the dotted line as a line of symmetry.

First graders practice identifying number patterns. In this basic patterns lesson, 1st graders use a large number line and jump to certain numbers to create, identify or extend a pattern. This lesson includes a script to guide the teacher.

Students explore line(s) of symmetry in polygons during a hands-on activity and a Student Web Lesson. They build a wall of symmetrical shapes designed and drawn by students.

Tenth graders construct a variety of geometric shapes and designs using a Mira, Clinometer and Geometry Flash Cards. They complete a worksheet.

Students explore lines of symmetry. In this symmetry lesson, students divide and combine shapes along basic lines of symmetry. Students explore symmetry in real life objects.

Fifth graders measure specified distances when given perpendicular lines. In this measurement lesson plan, 5th graders draw the lines themselves.

Students compare and order numbers. In this geometry instructional activity, students write equations for inequalities. They differentiate and apply concepts of triangular properties to solve problems.

Fourth graders explore the definition and properties of parallel lines. This high level lesson has students calculate the slope of the two parallel lines, and draw the lines on a Caretsian coordinate system.

Learners are introduced to zoning. Evaluating information and reading a land-use map is enclosed in this lesson. List new development projects that they could propose for a given area.

Young scholars engage in a lesson in order to create blueprints to design an original floorplan. They use graphing paper and drawing tools to demonstrate knowledge of the lesson objectives. Students label and use the right kind of...

In this tangrams learning exercise, 10th graders solve 7 different problems related to designing tangrams. First, they trace each of the figures shown on the sheet. Then, students cut out the pieces and rearrange them to form each figure...

Learners observe and demonstrate a variety of basic geometric constructions using the Triman Safety Compass. Using the compass, they draw circles, bisect a line segment, construct an angle, bisect an angle, copy an angle, and create...

Middle schoolers in grade 7 and 8 work on outcomes related to spatial sense and geometric concepts, properties, and relationships. The lesson plan integrates technology and helps students be exposed to multimedia.

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...

Students create a class "quilt" made of paper. In this hands-on symmetry activity, students fold paper to create symmetrical figures then work in groups to color quilt patches that will form together to make a symmetrical class quilt.
