Students create three dimensional shapes using concept maps. In this geometry lesson, students investigate the impact of mental schemas on humans. They collect data on this topic and plot their data on a coordinate plane.

Students are introduced to histograms, bar graphs, and the concept of class interval. They use an activity and three discussions with supplemental exercises to help students explore how data can be graphically represented (and...

Students explore the physical aspect of a slope. In this algebra lesson, students graph a slope and write an equation for a slope. They identify slopes of zero, negative lines and positive lines.

Students model three-dimensional objects using cubes. In this geometry lesson plan, students calculate the volume and derived the amount mathematically. They use different objects to create two and three-dimensional objects.

Students are introduced to the notion of a complex number and function iteration in order to motivate the discussion of Julia sets and the Mandelbrot set.

Students collect and organize data, make a scatterplot, fit a curve to the appropriate parent function, and interpret the results. Students translate among the various representations of the quadratic function, formulate equations, use a...

Learners explore linear relationships. In this sixth through eighth grade mathematics lesson plan, students explore the symbolic representation of verbal descriptions of mathematical rules defining the relationship between two variables.

Fifth graders explore polygons. In this math lesson, 5th graders find examples of regular polygons in the classroom and measure the sides of figures to determine if they are regular polygons.

Fifth graders practice using math graphs. In this graphing lesson, 5th graders work in groups to develop a topic of their own to represent as a graph. Students collect data and construct a graph for the lesson.

Learners describe graphically, algebraically and verbally real-world phenomena as functions; identify the independent and the dependent variable. They translate among graphic, algebraic, and verbal representations of relations and graph...

Young scholars observe liquids in different containers and then explore the concept that liquids have level surfaces. They identify those who are not at the center to reinforce the concept of liquid levels with a representational puzzle...

Students practice their area and perimeter measurement. In this measurement lesson, students watch a video about perimeter and area. Students measure a gym for perimeter and area. Students write number sentences for the area and...

In this nets and 3 dimensional figures worksheet, 5th graders look at the 3D figure and the net and mark yes or no if it is an accurate representation.

In this 3D figure learning exercise, students observe the net of a 3D figure where you open up the figure and tell if it is an accurate representation of that figure. Students complete this for 3 figures.

Fifth graders find the area and volume of buildings. In this architecture lesson, 5th graders look at the drawings of three historic Tennessee buildings. They use these to help find the area and volume of the building. 

Students compare and contrast exponential and power functions. In this precalculus lesson plan, students identify the value of x, using the graph as a visual. They compare functions with base of greater than one, to base of less than one.

In this algebraic reasoning worksheet, students solve 4 multiple choice and true/false problems. Students determine which statements about equality are true. Students find the appropriate representation of a given symbol in terms of...

Students conduct a survey. In this math lesson, students design and conduct a survey about Thanksgiving foods. Students display the collected data in a graph and use the graph to determine what food to serve for a Thanksgiving meal.

Pupils sketch the nets for given polygons and cylinders. In this geometry lesson, students find the measurements that correspond with prisms, cones and cylinders. they identify parts of three-dimensional shapes.

Fourth graders study the decimal dilemma and discover major math mistakes in the real world with cheeseburgers advertised for .99 cents each or colas for .89 cents each.

Fourth graders practice mastering the ability to multiply multi-digit numbers utilizing rectangular arrays and a variety of mental math strategies. They model and illustrate meanings of multiplication and division of whole numbers and...

Students sort objects and create patterns. In this sorting and graphing lesson, students work at centers to find a way to sort a group of objects, then make a graphical representation of the number of each item. Finally, students create...

Pupils explore the cost of a party. In this math lesson, students plan a party and determine the cost of hosting a party. Pupils use information from grocery stores to determine the unit cost of items for the party.

Students use a variety of resources to decide on a vacation destination. They locate three points of interest, a hotel, and two restaurants at their destination.Students obtain driving directions for their trip, create a trip budget, and...
