Students generate patterns from a structured situation, find a rule for the general term, and express it in words and symbols. They also devise and use problem solving strategies in a systematic way.

Third graders use number sense and appropriate problem solving techniques to solve the assigned problems. They write out the solutions to the assigned problems. They work in groups to solve the problem before reporting back to the whole...

Fourth graders use algebra to begin solving a problem. The problem has a real world application to engage learners. The main skill is converting fractions and decimals. Also finding the right number sentence for the word problem is...

Eighth graders discuss how data is collected and participate in data collection through a survey. They complete a scavenger hunt on the Internet to gain understanding of the data measures mean, median, mode, and range.

Students create a ticket table illustrating the cost of tickets by alternative transportation. In this number sense lesson, students write number sentences to compare and contrast difference information in their chart. Students figure...

Students experience how to illustrate some of the many connections between number and geometry. Through this 2-3 day focus on square numbers and triangular numbers, students make connections among mathematical topics.

Second graders examine different types of graphs and discover the meanings of the symbols used on them. After gathering data about themselves, their communities, and the world, they use that information to create graphs. Among the...

In this pH instructional activity, learners describe acids and alkalis. They also determine whether substances are strongly acidic or alkaline. To determine the pH of given substances, learners use the color of universal indicator paper....

Learners differentiate between a relation and a function. In this algebra lesson, students identify a pair of coordinates as being a relation or a function. They analyze graphs for function as they solve word problems.

Students investigate ways to find the density of irregular shaped objects. In this physics lesson, students calculate density using its mass and volume. They explain why some objects float or sink in water.
