Students identify the properties of chords. In this geometry lesson, students multiply chord segments to find the solution to their problem. They construct two chords that cross on  a circles.

Students rewrite word problems using the correct symbols. In this algebra lesson, students simplify algebraic expressions and use the correct representation of the unknown. They solve equations using one and two steps operation.

Show your pupils that perimeter is linear and area is quadratic in nature with a short assessment task that requests learners to connect the graph and equation to a description about perimeter or area. Scholars then provide a...

Students thread a piece of spaghetti through the holes in the cup. One person suspend the cup by placing each index finger approximately one inch in from the ends of the spaghetti.

Learners complete three parts of an "Organizning and Reading Data" worksheet. First, they go over the rubric to determine the work will be scored. They organize data by taking tallies, make a pictograph and a bar graph using the data....

Students work on different mathematical skills that align with state standards. The skill of problem solving is done with reasoning and communication is made to students through solid brain connections to the math concepts.

In this function activity, students describe a function and write six different ways a function may be modeled. This two-page activity contains eight problems.

Students use Cartesian coordinates. In this graphing lesson students use simple formulae, interpret coordinates, and create graphical representations. They express their work algebraically.

Let's paint the town equal parts yellow and violet, or simply brown. Pupils calculate the amount of blue and red paint needed to make six quarts of brown paint. Individuals then explain how they determined the percentage of the brown...

Swimming is more fun with quantities. The short assessment task encompasses finding the volume of a trapezoidal prism using an understanding of quantities. Individuals make a connection to the rate of which the pool is filled with a...

First graders identify coins and their value. Using a mixed set of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters, they sort the coins and identify the name of each coin and the value of one coin in each set. As the teacher announces a given...

Students use m&m candies as their sample set. They begin by counting the total number of candies to determine their sample size. Students put the candies into a cup and shake them gently before pouring them onto a paper plate. Count...

Twelfth graders investigate the capabilities of the TI-89.  In this calculus lesson plan, 12th graders explore the parametric equation for a circle, for arc length of curves, and for trajectories.  Students investigate the...

The class braids irrational numbers, Pythagoras, and perimeter together. The mini-assessment requires scholars to use irrational numbers and the Pythagorean Theorem to find perimeters of rugs. The rugs are rectangular, triangular,...

Create ratios using the boys and girls in the class. The first lesson in a 29-part series introduces ratios. Pupils learn to create ratios, write them, and model them with tape diagrams. Class members realize that there are different...

In this AP Calculus BC practice exam, students solve twenty-eight multiple choice problems without the use of a calculator.  This worksheet should be completed in fifty-five minutes.

Using a 2002 California Gray David recall vote as an example, young statisticians  identify sources of bias in samples and find ways of reducing and eliminating sampling bias. They consider ways to select random samples from a...

The objectives in the resource allow students to explore the characteristics of simple solid shapes. Youngsters learn to recognize the face shapes, corners, and edges that make up 3-D figures by filling in a chart. Lastly,...

Estimate the proportion in a population using sampling. The 20th installment in a series of 25 introduces how to determine proportions of categorical data within a population. Groups take random samples from a bag of cubes to determine...

How do letters and numbers create a picture? Scholars learn to create input/output tables to graph functions. They graph both linear and nonlinear functions by creating tables and plotting points. 

Translate, evaluate, educate. Discover how to translate and evaluate expressions. Young mathematicians first review words and phrases that indicate operations and learn to write algebraic expressions from verbal descriptions....

Young mathematicians solve linear equations by drawing models of algebra tiles using colored pencils. To finish, they solve the same equations algebraically and check their answers using a graphing calculator.

In this probability instructional activity, students use math models and the problem solving strategy of understand, plan, solve, and look back to help them complete the two probability questions.

Learners participate in guessing their partners' hidden Lego pieces from their verbal clues. They work in partners to accomplish their goals. They are meeting a variety of math standards by completing this lesson.
