Students analyze the patterns in polygons and relate it to the rate of change. In this algebra lesson, students discuss the relationship between the data and the graph of the data.

Students count coins. In this currency and mathematics lesson, students use skip counting to figure the value of a group of coins. Students use plastic replica coins and real coins.

Students see how to calculate the gains and losses of their stock portfolios. They use basic math skills in calculating their stock investment the old-fashioned way.

Learners define the different methods used for optimizing a particular element of a problem. In this optimization problem instructional activity, students optimize appropriate details of a problem using data collection, algebra,...

Learners add and subtract polynomials. In this algebra lesson, students use algebra tiles to perform operation of polynomials. They model their problems and understand how to combine like terms using tiles.

Learners identify patterns and compute formulas to solve the problems. In this algebra lesson, students come up with a rule given a pattern, and analyze the relationship between data and graphs.

Learners use math skills and create a spreadsheet. In this statistics and computer skills lesson, students gather ACC basketball statistics, convert fractions to decimals and then percents. Learners use the gathered information to create...

Students work with Ellipses in Algebra II. In this algebra lesson, students solve an equation with a radical expression. They graph ellipses and write an equation for them.

Students read the book "Alexander, Who Used To Be Rich Last Sunday," along with their teacher and take away coins as they follow along with the story. In this money and counting lesson, students get meaningful practice in the art of...

Students factor trinomials using algebra tiles and blocks. In this algebra activity, students complete a trinomials station activity. They work backwords to find their answers and discuss their steps in a group.

Students participate in a lesson that covers the concepts of solving equations and inequalities. To master the concept they must demonstrate visually and verbally how both sides of an equation must be balanced. They construct a balanced...

Learners identify the slope of linear functions. For this slope lesson, students collect data and graph it. They write equations with no more than two variables and use technology to explain their data.

Students investigate the relationship between angles and their sides. In this geometry lesson, students prove why SSA does not work as a true angle side relationship theorem.

Scholars apply prior knowledge of statistics to write a conclusion. They summarize using correct academic language and tell the story of the data.

How many people do you need in a room before two likely share the same birthday? Scholars consider this puzzle by analyzing a set of data. They ponder how to divide the data and determine the proper size of a group for this event to...

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

How random is random? Demonstrate the different random sampling methods using a hands-on activity. Pupils use various sampling techniques to choose a random sample of elements from the periodic table. They use the different samples to...

Herbivores and carnivores just don't get along. Using a box of animal crackers, classes collect data about the injury status of herbivores and carnivores in the box. They complete the process of chi-square testing on the data from...

Compare different random sampling types using an archaeological setting. Scholars collect data from an archaeological plot using simple random samples, stratified random samples, systematic random samples, and cluster random samples....

Future statisticians and potential psychics first conduct an experiment to collect data on whether a person can tell if someone is staring at them. Statistical methods, such as hypothesis testing, chi-square tests, binomial tests, and...

Construct an understanding of triangle congruence through a visual analysis. Young scholars find that given two sides and a non-included angle, sometimes two possible triangles are produced. Their analysis shows that if the non-included...

What do you get when you slice a prism? Pupils discover that the answer depends on how the prism is sliced. The second half of the 29-part module focuses on three-dimensional objects. Learners use their two-dimensional vocabulary and...
