Sixth graders solve real life mathematics problems. After reading a given problem, 6th graders gather and organize data into a table. They explore a pattern, and from this, derive a formula. Students solve the problems multiple ways...

Seventh graders gather data to determine the relationships between the base and height of rectangles with fixed perimeters and express the relationships using words and symbols. Students build rectangles with pipe cleaners. They create...

Young mathematicians extend their knowledge of rational numbers on a number line to graph inequalities by first using number cards to compare rational numbers. They finish by using similar reasoning to graph inequalities on a number line.

In this math worksheet, students consider a series and test to see if the law of convergence applies or not. Then they calculate the Taylor series about x = 0 for the trigonometric functions f(x)=sinx and g(x)=cos.

Students investigate families of functions.  In this families of functions lesson plan, students discuss how changing a functions parameters affect its' graph.  Students vary slope and y-intercepts of linear functions. ...

In this geometric series instructional activity, students examine the terms of a series and prove the sum of given terms. They give examples of geometric series. This one-page instructional activity contains ten problems.

Learners use math to plan a trip by houseboat down the Mississippi River. They research and obtain information on the Mississippi River and its surroundings and use multiple graphs to represent their data.

Bring balance to your lesson plans with an activity that asks individuals to solve one-step linear equations with inverse operations. Balance scales help learners understand the concept of isolating the variable.

Third graders complete an experiment to introduce them to the concept of water pressure. For this water pressure lesson plan, 3rd graders create pressure in a water bottle and observe the force of water that is created.

Young scholars generate patterns from a structured situation, find a rule for the general term, and express it in words and symbols. They also devise and use problem solving strategies in a systematic way.

Students generate patterns from a structured problem, finding a rule for the general term, and expresses it in words and symbols. They then devise and use problem solving strategies to explore situations mathematically.

Middle schoolers examine numbers and try to find a pattern in their relationship. They write an algebraic expression for the nth term.

Learners complete a chain of numbers given the outcome. In this geometry lesson, student use deductive and inductive reasoning to solve problems. They create a formula and ways to predict numbers in the chain without starting over.

Students collect and analyze data using a graph. In this algebra instructional activity, students explain their findings orally and with a graph. They use their knowledge to solve real life scenarios.

Studens collect and graph data. In this algebra lesson plan, students use a CBL and CBR with a TI Calcualtor to observe linear graphs. They use the correct vocabualry as they discuss the collected data.

Students analyze graphs for specific properties. In this algebra lesson plan, students solve equations and graph using the TI calculator. They find the different changes that occur in each graph,including maximum and minimum.

Students identify patterns found in nature. For this algebra lesson, students model situation in nature using fractals. They investigate biological geometric structures and draw conclusion based on geometric concepts.

Students identify the different systems of equations. In this algebra lesson plan, students solve systems of equations using graphing, elimination and substitution. They use the Ti to graph their systems.

Students solve problems of inequalities and equations. In this algebra lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide to solve inequalities. They graph their solutions on a number line.

Students use Geometer's Sketchpad to examine the scale factor when in is applied to the length of a figure's sides. They look at how the scale factor affects the side lengths, perimeter, and area of the figure that result. They work with...

Middle schoolers study Pascal's triangle. They construct their own version of Pascal's triangle, and relate some of the uses for it. While working through this process, students practice their integer multiplication and division skills.

Students create a butterfly displaying a mirror image of itself to show that it is symmetrical. In this symmetry lesson plan, students go over symmetry in different shapes and identify patterns in butterflies.
