Upper elementary and middle schoolers work with the concept of probability. They are introduced to the concept of chaos. Learners graph and analyze using a line plot, work with mean, and are introduced to the concept of variance.

Students solve problems involving exponents. Through a teacher led discussion, students explore the rules of exponents and create cards with "x's" on them. Given a division problem, students lay out "x's" to represent the numerator and...

Students examine the math problem, think about it and discuss with their classmates. They work on the rest of the problems in pairs using problem solving strategies and fractions.

Students pretend they are about to buy their first new car. They must do all the calculations necessary to estimate the cost of purchasing the car. They see that the math they learn in school really does have real-life applications.

Students determine that limited resources require choices. They study the basic concept of a budget and use addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (with whole numbers, fractions, decimals and/or percents, mixed numbers) to...

First graders review peacemaking strategies by identifying their capacity of creating and promoting peace within their classroom, home, community, and world. Fractions are introduced through the making of a "peace pie."

Students review the days of the week and see if the students can recite he sequence using different starting days. Students retell the problem using their own words to check that everyone examines.

Students explore ratios and their relationships to fractions. They explain the process of identifying ratios and describe their comparison. Students write ratios as fractions and by using colons. They convert the ratios to percents.

Students examine and discuss the writing of ratios as fractions and where they can be found in the real world. They complete worksheets and a questionnaire, and calculate the mean, median, and mode scores for the class.

Students examine the use of signal flags on vessels. They use measurements and symmetry to create their very own signal flag. Students work together and as individuals to solve problems and express their ideas.
