Students sort objects based on one characteristic. They define the term "attribute" and give examples of attributes of objects. Students explain their reasoning for sorting objects into groups.

Students compare whole and fractional numbers using <, >, or =, with manipulatives and drawings.

Students think about several of the concepts from fractals, including recursion and self similarity. They use mathematical concepts of line segments, perimeter, area and infinity are used, and skill at pattern recognition is practiced.

Second graders examine the artwork of Robert Harris and discuss how trees are an important part of their lives. In groups, they discover how people's use of the environment has changed over time and describe the climate and vegetation...

Learners create a matrix of the vertices of a triangle and produce new matrices that dilate, translate, rotate, and reflect the original triangle. After multiplying each matrix by a new scale factor, they graph the new matrix and...

In this algebra learning exercise, learners factor quadratic equations and graph their resulting parabola. They relate quadratics to real life scenario. There are 20 questions with an answer key.

In this making a table learning exercise, 3rd graders make two tables to illustrate to scenarios and then read one completed table in order to answer 2 questions with multiple choice answers.

Sixth graders calculate the volume of a stair-step. In this volume lesson, 6th graders apply their knowledge of the formula for finding volume. They practice their use of math language since this lesson is presented in a Japanese...

Fifth graders, using graphic and word processing software, create geometric patterns by performing elementary transformations.

Students discover which regular polygons can be used to tile a plane.

Students analyze data to make hypotheses and conclusions regarding the predator/prey relationship between moon snail and surf clams.

Students are presented with the problem of constructing a parachute that has the maximum hang time. They construct their own parachute using available materials. Pupils drop their parachutes from a height of two meters and record the...

Learners participate in teacher-led demonstrations and use manipulatives to count the numbers one through ten out loud.

Students explore tangram vocabulary and tangram designs, creating an art design that contains various geometric parts. They complete a checklist titled, Important Thing About a Quilt Design.

Second graders use numerical data about Texas to write and solve real-life problems involving addition and subtraction (or multiplication and division). They work in pairs to choose three numerical facts about Texas to use to make up...

Students examine the Flying Geese quilt pattern, and discuss and identify the pattern. They write a paragraph titled, My Quilt Report, summarizing the information discussed about the quilt patterns.

Fourth graders measure the perimeters of several different rooms. They convert the measurements using ratios that allow them to draw the rooms to scale on paper. They draw the dimensions of a house to scale. They measure length to the...

Students investigate the mathematical concepts related to the study of The Pythagorean Theorem. They graph and review how to use a line segment to construct a triangle. Then using the theorem students calculate the length of the hypotenuse.

Students discover how to measure in one and two dimensional space and calculate how much space any object of a given dimension occupies. After a discussion about dimensions, students work with Zome System Creator Kits to build one and...

Young scholars observe falling objects. They discover the rate of falling is based on air resistance and not the weight of the objects. They discuss how engineers use this type of information to design aerodynamic shapes.

Students research effigy mounds of Native people in Wisconsin. They create large models of effigy mounds in a given area based on factual information from their studies and research.

Tenth graders identify and interpret vocabulary terms as they relate to vectors. Students practice translations by creating several tessellations. Students determine the direction and distance using vectors. Students use grid paper to...

Students view examples of man-made structures and create a building that matches the style. Using the internet, they research the style of Frank Lloyd Wright and create plans for creating their own community. They use a painting of...

Students explore properties of triangles using angle bisectors, incenters, circles, midpoints, and altitudes. They use Geometer's Sketchpad in order to create triangles and their properties.
