It's the law—every action requires a reaction, no matter how small. Pupils experience two demonstrations of Newton's third law of motion as it relates to thrust in the 10th segment of a 22-part unit on flight. Using their mathematical...

What does a squared and b squared make? C squared of course! The pre-test assesses eighth graders' knowledge of the Pythagorean Theorem, application of the Pythagorean Theorem, and finding volumes of solids. 

In this algebraic expressions worksheet, 4th graders study, analyze and evaluate 6 different expressions involving n-32, n=77 and the expression 575 + n for 2 values of n.

Students explore the concept of binomial distribution. In this binomial distribution lesson, students perform binomial distributions on a number of problems in this lecture lesson. Students find the mean and variance of binomial...

Fourth and fifth graders make predictions using data. In this analyzing data lesson, pupils use experimental data, frequency tables, and line plots to look for patterns in the data in order to determine chance. You will need to make a...

In this statistical inquiry activity, students analyze and interpret a variety of diagrams such as a scatter plot, bar graph and pie charts. They create tables and other diagrams to support given data. This two-page activity contains 3...

Middle-schoolers solve various problems related to proportions. They write ratios in word form and then, replace the words with numbers. Pupils also write an equation in which they will cross-multiply to solve the proportion. This is an...

Learners calculate the circumference of a circle. In this geometry lesson plan, students measure the diameter of a circle using micrometers or calipers. They investigate the relationship of the diameter to that of the value of Pi.

Students explore the concept of the Pythagorean Theorem.  In this Pythagorean Theorem lesson, students discuss how the Pythagorean Theorem is used in their lives.  Students imagine building a lean-to that is 3 ft. high and 4...

Sixth graders complete worksheets and make journal entries to interpret mathematical expressions about the pyramids. In this equality by balancing equations lesson plan, 6th graders participate in groups or by themselves to complete...

Students work with attribute buttons in order to sort, create, and analyze patterns. Students practice identifying patterns and verbalizing the sorting rules and patterns they used. Sample assessments and rubric are provided.

Students dissamble and analyze the spring system of a click pen. They analyze a cross-section worksheet, dissamble the pens, fill in the missing parts of the cross-section diagram, and write a description of how the pen works.

In this patterns and sequencing learning exercise, 9th graders complete 30 math problems that involve patterns and rules. Students must read information as they work through the math problems.
