Third graders practice multiplication using a fun game called "Multo." They write numbers in boxes using a grid similar to one found on a Bingo card. They score when their numbers are called. The smallest number possible is zero and the...

Sixth graders identify the mean, median, mode and range in a given set of data. Using a specified website, they use their skills to play the game, "Train Race" where students find the mean, median, and rage of information to help the...

Students explore the concept of Mandelbrot sets and Julia sets. In this Mandelbrot and Julia set lesson, students use a function integrator applet to investigate two-variable function iterations. Students use Julia set and Mandelbrot set...

High schoolers explore the concept of the bell curve. In this bell curve lesson, students discuss the controversy associated with the bell curve. High schoolers use an applet to explore a normal distribution. Students discuss mean,...

Fourth graders use number facts to estimate quotients. In this division lesson plan, 4th graders examine long division problems to determine which multiple of ten will help them determine a number that is close to a quotient. They adjust...

Third graders display information in a graph, table, and chart. In this data lesson plan, 3rd graders look at graphs, tables, and charts, discuss their importance, and make their own.

Students solve problems with percents, decimals and fractions. In this algebra lesson, students convert between fractions, percents and decimals. They estimate their answers and calculate their answer.

Students explain normal distribution of a measurable characteristic within a group of objects. They create two graphs (one for each type of Hershey's Kiss) with increments of measurement on the X-axes and number of measurements on the...

You're going to wish you had a watermelon for this lesson! Class members read about watermelons and make a salad in class to sample. They also perform estimates, measurements and calculations on a watermelon. They predict what percentage...

Students develop mathematical skills using measurement in the form of weight. They also perform calculations to find cost and strengthen estimation skills while comparing the actual price. The context for the lesson is in the industry of...

Students explore averages by completing a data analysis activity. In this bell curve lesson, students measure different food items and plot their measurements on a X and Y axis. Students create bell curves around the average weight or...

Make all the ratio representations fit together. The 15th segment in a series of 29 presents ratio problems to solve. Scholars use a variety of representations to respond to the questions. The problem set has pupils show how the...

Young scholars explore probability through cooperative group activities and interactive video technique.

Students experiment with several chaotic simulation, they build a working definition of chaos. Students reinforce their knowledge of basic probability and percents. They are reminded of previous knowledge that is pertinent to this...

Students define probability. They determine outcome from a given situation based on simple probability. Students create experimental data using a coin and a number cube. They write how theoretical and experimental probability are different.

Fourth graders investigate the mathematical concept of probability. They determine the given mean of a data set found when rolling dice. The results of the experiment are displayed using a bar graph. The teacher does an example before...

Students will work in teams of 2 to read and discuss a case study. In this probability lesson, students will learn the formula for finding the probability of two events occurring together. Students will learn the meaning of independent...

Students evaluate the number of people who travel out of their town to work. They figure out what the percentage of each town's commuting workers is to the number who commute in the region. They plot the percentages on a pie chart.

Middle schoolers demonstrate an understanding of the Five-Number Summary and Box-Plots after analyzing data from nutrition labels, forming a hypothesis and supporting it. They decide if there is a significant difference between reduced...

Students explain what biodiversity is and how adaptive features are maintained in a population.  In this biodiversity lesson students complete a simple activity involving mouse populations.

Students use NASA satellite data to see cloud cover over Africa.  In this seasons lesson students access data and import it into Excel. 

Students explore the concept of probabiility and outcome through several decision making activities. Making accurate predictions in daily life including weather forecasting, stock market selections, or job changes are all dependent on...

Fourth graders discover how to cook rice. In this cooking lesson, 4th graders discover how to cook rice correctly. Students read and follow cooking directions and discuss how their rice turned out.

Students explore shapes through literature. In this language arts lesson, students read stories about shapes and discuss the shapes they see in the stories. Students find shapes around the room.
