Help young learners write their numbers with a number formation chart. It illustrates the way their pencils should move when they make each number, along with a cute story about what each number is doing and thinking as it is being written.

Don't forget the tables! The previous lessons in this five-part series examined the linear equation and graph relationship. The current lesson adds tables to the mix. At completion, individuals should be able to create a table of values,...

Put all of the derivative rules into one basket. The lesson stars with warm-up exercises that provide a connection to previously learned concepts. The lesson plan uses the different derivative theorems to calculate a variety of...

Design and build a rover ... then eat it? This activity has groups of two design and build Mars rovers. The teams determine what instruments they want to include with their rover and plan a budget. They calculate the cost of the body of...

Individuals create a GIS data layer in Google Earth that displays information about where one might find seven different cryptids. The class members research to find data on cryptid sightings they can include in their data...

Word problems can make even expert mathematicians go blank. Practice solving word problems with an extended version of the GUESS method (givens, unknowns, equations, solve, substitute), which adds the steps of drawing a diagram, making...

How do you know you know? Prove it! The guide goes through several examples and includes a link to a video to teach learners how to work through coordinate proofs. The goal is to prove that different shapes are indeed that shape. 

Before diving head first into the year's curriculum, take time to establish clear routines and procedures for your classroom. Starting with how to set up a class schedule that meets the needs of fifth grade learners, this sample...

How much rain can that cloud make? Through a simulation, the class estimates the amount of candy rain contained in different cup clouds. After probing the clouds using different methods, class members adjust their estimates. Participants...

Investigate the maximum power output of a photovoltaic panel with a activity that introduces the class to the maximum power point. Individuals learn how to determine the maximum power point of a solar panel by using Ohm's law and the...

This tutorial reviews complex numbers, notation associated with complex numbers, and the basic operations involving complex numbers. Topics examined are conjugates and moduli, polar form, exponential form, arithmetic of complex numbers,...

The tutorial investigates applications of integrals. Topics discussed are average function value, area between two curves, volumes of solids of revolution, and work. Class notes, definitions, and examples with detailed solutions are...

The tutorial examines the area between two curves and the volume of a solid of revolution. The class notes are available in pdf format.

This site has links to tables of mathematical formulas. To view them, the student must download the formulas in pdf format.
