Students explore circles.  In this geometry lesson, students explore the relationship between the circumference of a circle, the distance a ball travels, and the number of rotations the ball must make in order to travel a certain...

In this journal worksheet, young scholars reflect the meaning and process of how to expand a binomial to any power. There is 1 question.

Eleventh graders study how to combine like vector's that are matrices. For this matrix operations worksheet, 11th graders combine matrices linearly and define the matrix-matrix product and its properties. Students also study matrix...

Students participate in a lesson that covers the concept of finding the circumference of a circle. The teacher covers relevant vocabulary with the students. They work in groups to measure objects and calculate the formula to find the...

Students explore the concept of transformations.  For this transformation lesson, students use an applet that is an interactive absolute value graph applet.  Students manipulate the applet to examine the change in the function...

Students are introduced to the problem. They brainstorm ideas for approaching the problem and keeping track of what has been done. Students work on the problem in pairs to discover what strategies might help to find the answer.

Students construct models of various tricubes, tetracubes, and pentacubes that are possible, classify n-cubes into different groupings, and draw these figures on isometric dot paper giving true perspective to what they visualize.

Pupils use equations to represent practical situations. They solve linear equations and quadratic equations. The use of problem solving strategies is also developed.

Sixth graders solve two-step equations.

Students find number patterns in the generation of several different types of fractals.

Students explore the concept of fractal patterns. In this fractal pattern lesson plan, students use an applet about the Hilbert Curve to answer questions about rectangles and other polygons. Students derive the fractal pattern when...

Young scholars explore the concept of multi-step equations. In the multi-step equation lesson, students solve equations by the 'party method'. Young scholars make a flip book that shows the steps in solving multi-step equations.

Middle schoolers study and research irregular fractals and construct a few based on their research. Students practice pattern recognition skills and plane geometry skills calculating dimensions on the Fractured Pictures activity.

Fifth graders engage in the solving of a real life application problem using the concept of calculating perimeter. They apply the operations of calculating with the polynomials for finding the perimeter of triangles,quadrilaterals, and...

Students complete activity pages. In this factors lesson, students practice finding the factors of numbers. They discuss prime factors and prime factorization and learn how to complete a factor tree.

Students correctly express and interpret mathematical facts, concepts, and procedures in symbolic, verbal and graphical form. They use a table to organize information.

First graders explore estimating and measuring distances. They analyze and discuss a map of New York State, make estimations, measure distances using yarn, and calculate total distances between cities on the map.

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. The lesson and discussions may be used to develop students' understanding of polygons and symmetry as well as their ability to analyze patterns.

Third graders model the tag and recapture of bears and use proportions to estimate the population of the bears in their forest. This is a statistical sampling method used by scientists and naturalists to determine population numbers.

Students practice measuring the height of redwood trees. On a group walk, they observe the height of various trees and identify the species. In groups, they use their geometry skills and other techniques to measure the tree and determine...

Young scholars make an inquiry with the aid of technology into the concept of functions. The emphasis of the lesson is on the interplay between the geometric and analytic information.

In this Pre-Calculus learning exercise, students solve problems involving periodic functions.  The three page learning exercise contains twenty-three problems.  Answers are not provided. 

Young scholars study cloud data and weather maps to explore cloud activity.  For this cloud data lesson students locate latitude and longitude coordinates and determine cloud cover percentages.
