Students identify and explain the variables effecting supply and demand in the marketing industry. Then they define the terms supply and demand and graph supply and demand curves on a standard grid. Students also formulate what happens...

Learners identify various types of breads fromother countries and locate them on maps. In small groups, they make story maps of books that mention bread and make books resembling sandwiches. Students have a bread tasting party and...

Second graders learn about plant systems and how plants grow and function. In this plant lesson plan, 2nd graders collect data based on roots, leaves, terrariums, plant uses, and locations of certain kinds of plants. They fill out...

Students explore pentominoes in this activity. They build shapes as directed and color the tiles on their grid sheet.

Students create a fire safety rules poster. In this fire safety lesson plan, students inspect their classroom and discuss the best way to exit in case of a fire. Students then make a poster stating the rules and exit plan.

Sixth graders use newspapers to investigate fractions. They work in small groups to categorize articles, measure them with the grid transparency, and calculate the values represented. Afterward, they write a reflective essay on the role...

Students are introduced to connecting graphing in a coordinate plane to making scatterplots on a graphing calculator. Working in pairs, they connect points plotted to make a sailboat and complete questions on a worksheet as well as plot...

In this math worksheet, students practice their skills in constructing reflections of shapes that are on a grid. This worksheet has 13 problems for the students to solve, and includes an answer sheet.

To plot a point in the coordinate plane, you first need a coordinate plane. Pupils learn to draw an appropriate set of axes with labels on a coordinate plane. They must also determine a reasonable scale to plot given coordinate pairs on...

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Combine linear equations and a little creativity to produce a work of art. Math scholars create a design as they graph a list of linear equations. Their project results in a stained glass window pattern that they color.

Investigate exponential growth and decay. A set of six activities has pupils collecting and researching data in a variety of situations involving exponential relationships. They model these situations with exponential functions and solve...

Enough stuffed crust to go around. Pupils calculate the area and perimeter of a variety of pizza shapes, including rectangular and circular. Individuals design rectangular pizzas with a given area to maximize the amount of crust and do...

Connect graphs, equations, and tables for real-world problems. Young mathematicians analyze relationships to identify independent and dependent variables. These identifications help create tables and graphs for each situation.

Transform your lesson on transformations. Scholars investigate transformations, with particular emphasis on translations and dilations of the graphs of logarithmic and exponential functions. As part of this investigation, they examine...

Fifth graders manipulate and draw shapes to demonstrate the concept of flips, slides, and turns using letters and arrows on graph paper.

Fifth graders complete an integer graphing activity. In this integer graphing lesson plan, 5th graders use coordinate grids to help them complete linear functions and integer graphing.

Students investigate ratios of various objects.  For this ratios of various objects lesson, students draw pictures on graph paper and then dilate or shrink the image.  Students determine the ratio of their pictures. ...

Students explore parts of a whole. For this fraction lesson, students determine what makes a fair share. Working with manipulatives, students solve mathematical problems containing fractions.

Young scholars explain the differences between linear (arithmetic) and exponential (geometric) growth. They use worksheets imbedded in this lesson to help them make predicitions and graph data points.

Students draw on graph paper. In this geometry lesson, students review types of triangles and quadrilaterals. Students investigate geometric transformations, including translation, rotation and reflection. Students practice each...

Students search for and generalize an algebraic pattern. They make and analyze a coordinate graph.

Students are introduced to the solar system and its place in the universe. They begin to grasp the idea of very large numbers by estimating and computing how long it take the class to make a million x's.

Fourth graders investigate the concept of graphing and comparing different types of data using pictographs, line graphs, scatter plots, etc... They gather data and make interpretations while examining the medium of how it is displayed.
