Young mathematicians classify squares according to attributes. They sort squares according to specific attributes. Learners explore squares in repeating patterns and order squares according to size. Engaging extension activities are...

Students meet NASA researchers who describe the relationship between force, energy and motion. They discuss how NASA's experimental X-plane is being tested to make space travel more reliable and show how proportionality and ratios are...

Students plot points on graph paper to make designs. They color their designs.

In this Cartesian diver lab, middle schoolers explain using text and diagrams how the Cartesian diver works. Students evaluate ways in making their lab design better. Middle schoolers make predictions of how changing the variable would...

Boogie fever! Explore the concept of integers on coordinate plane. In this integers on a coordinate plane instructional activity, students graph rational numbers on the coordinate plane and identify coordinates of a point. Students...

Students build a four-wing paper boomerang. In this aeronautics lesson, students construct a paper boomerang and identify the forces at work during flight.

Students review plotting points on a coordinate plane. Individually, they add and subtrace complex numbers and graph them in a complex plane. They follow along a worksheet while their teacher lectures on the new material and solve...

Students review polar coordinates, as well as translations and rotations in Cartesian Coordinates. They also watch a video on conics and write a summary of the video for a quiz grade. Students then find an equation after a...

Students review the lecture portion of this lesson. Individually, they graph various points on a complex plane and identify conjugates based on their location on the graphs. They complete a worksheet and review their answers to end the...

Fifth graders create paper gliders and check for flight distance and time. In this flight lesson, 5th graders create a paper glider from the attached worksheet and adjust the rudder, aileron, and elevator. They see how these adjustments...
