Learners explore the volume and surface area of three dimensional figures. Through the use of video, students discover three dimensional shapes, their uses in real-life applications, and methods used to calculate their volume and surface...

Students apply fractions to counting rhythm in music. In this algebra lesson, students interrelate the concept of math into music as they fill out a chart identifying the names and symbols of music notes and their equivalent values in...

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

Students 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 instructional activity, 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...

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

Learners investigate measuring angles correctly through projectiles. In this geometry lesson, students launch a projectile to investigate the importance of how to measure an angle correctly and to explore trajectory. They collect...

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 plan, 7th graders find the perimeter and area of triangles given two sides.  Students find the missing side...

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...

Students 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. Toad???s...

Young scholars 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...

Students graph lines in a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, 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 lesson, 10th graders estimate the measure of given angles and use their graphing calculator tools. Students use this knowledge to find...

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

Young scholars 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, young scholars use their computers to determine the...
