Students collect and analyze data using  percent difference. In this algebra lesson, students relate the concepts of algebra to cardiac physiology.

Learners use ratio and proportions to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students apply ratio and proportions to real life scenarios.

Students rewrite word problems and solve using math. In this word problem lesson plan, students gather data and observe the data. They relate this process to the scientific method and math. They review their data to be able to answer...

Students measure the perimeter of a square and create squares with specific perimeters in this activity for the early-elementary classroom. The activity includes templates for AppleWorks, Inspiration, and Kidspiration educational software.

Young scholars investigate measuring angles correctly through projectiles. In this geometry instructional activity, students launch a projectile to investigate the importance of how to measure an angle correctly and to explore...

Students explore the concept of area under a curve. In this area under a curve lesson, students find the area under a curve using the Monte Carlo method using random points and probability. Students calculate the area under the same...

Students find the volume of rectangular prisms.  In this volume lesson, students use a formula to find the volume of rectangular prisms.  They discuss the definition of volume and draw rectangular prisms.  Students...

Seventh graders find the perimeter and area of triangles.  In this finding the perimeter and area of triangles lesson, 7th graders find the perimeter and area of triangles given two sides.  Students find the missing side by...

Students discover that side measurement is used in determining angle classification of a triangle. By squaring sides, they predict whether triangles be right, obtuse, or acute. They prove the Pythagorean Theorem and use it to solve...

Students gain an enhanced understanding of the relationship between proper nutrition and good health. Through use of video, hands-on activities and interaction, students measure energy in food, and recognize sources of vitamins and...

Students measure the size of an epithelial cell and to estimate the number of epithelial cells in a given area of the body. After watching a video on cells, student groups perform an experiment using a microscope to view some of their...

Young scholars examine proportionality in Wind in the Willows by comparing Mr. Toad, objects proportional to him and objects proportional to humans. They then measure a stuffed Mr. Toad and make common objects proportional to Mr....

Students experiment with the angle that yields the greatest distance of water at constant pressure.  In this experiment with the angle that yields the greatest distance of water at constant pressure lesson, students shoot water out...

Students graph lines in a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson plan, students graph lines on a coordinate plane, and identify the slope. They classify the lines as parallel or perpendicular and write an equation of a given line.

Second graders make an origami Johnny Appleseed. In this geometry lesson students follow folding instructions. They find different geometric shapes while they are folding. They create Johnny Appleseed's body and attach a face and hands...

Students change the scale of a work of art using ratios, percentages, and proportions. While this is technically an art lesson, there is quite a bit of mathematics involved in converting to the correct scale.

Tenth graders explore the angle relationships that exist when two lines intersect. In this geometry instructional activity, 10th graders estimate the measure of given angles and use their graphing calculator tools. Students use this...

Students learn creative cooking. For this early childhood lesson plan, students children work together to plan, buy, and prepare a soup for their lunchtime meal.

Students compute surface area and volume of prisms. In this surface area lesson, students find the surface area and volume of rectangular and triangular prisms. Independently, students use their computers to determine the volume,...

Students use a stem-and-leaf plot from a set of data to identify the range, median, and mode of their own math grades.

Fifth graders explore how to collect data and display it on a bar and circle graph.

Young scholars define pitch, measure varying amounts of water into containers, make predictions about the sounds made when striking the containers, put containers in order from highest to lowest pitch, and create their own sound patterns...

Students create a map. In this direction and distance lesson, students come up with familiar places in the community and calculate the distances from these places to the school. Students create a map that displays these places and their...

Students explore bridges.  In this bridge lesson, students design and build a suspension bridge after visiting related websites and reviewing famous bridges in non-fiction books.  Students follow the instructions from the...
