Bring your young mathematicians into the fold. Scholars conduct an activity folding paper to see the relationship between the number of folds and the number of resulting layers in the 23rd installment of a 36-part module. The results of...

Display data over a larger interval. The fourth segment in a 22-part unit introduces histograms and plotting data within intervals to the class. Pupils create frequency tables with predefined intervals to build histograms. They describe...

Even or not, here I come. Groups investigate the parity of products and sums of whole numbers in the 17th lesson in a series of 21. Using dots to represent numbers, they develop a pattern for the products of two even numbers; two odd...

Add more points on the graph ... and it still remains a line! The 13th installment in a series of 33 leads the class to the understanding that the graph of linear equation is a line. Pupils find several solutions to a two-variable linear...

Equivalent ratios show up on tape. Young mathematicians use tape diagrams to create equivalent ratios in the initial lesson on the topic. They learn the definition of equivalent ratios and use it to build others in the third segment of a...

Based upon the statistics, this is what it means. The last lesson in a series of 22 has pupils present the findings from their statistical projects. The scholars discuss the four-step process used to complete the project of their...

Decide which concentration of mixtures is the strongest. Pupils use tables to compare ratios involved in mixtures. They use two methods to make the comparisons — by finding equivalent values within the tables or by comparing the...

In this probability worksheet, students solve complex probability problems containing logarithms, radicals, and square roots. This three-page worksheet contains nine problems.

Explore functions with non-constant rates of change. The first installment of a 12-part module teaches young mathematicians about the concept of a function. They investigate instances where functions do not have a constant rate of change.

Investigate the results of multiple translations on an image. Scholars use vectors to perform a sequence of translations in the seventh lesson plan of 18. They examine the results and determine the importance of using a sequence rather...

How fast is your class? Learners determine the amount of time it takes individuals to walk a given distance and calculate their speeds. Pupils solve distance, rate, and time problems using the formula and pay attention to the...

Ratios may not be created equal, but they are equivalent. Pupils learn the theorem relating equivalent ratios and equal values in the eighth segment in a series of 29. Classmates use the theorem to determine whether ratios within...

Continuing from the previous lesson in the series, scholars learn to use positive and negative integers to describe real-world situations. In groups, they come up with their own situations for given positive and negative integers. 

You know 4 + 4 + 4 = 3(4), but what about x + x + x? Pairs work together to develop equivalent expressions relating multiplication and addition in the third lesson of a 36-part series. They extend their knowledge of multiplication as...

Inequalities: when one solution just doesn't suffice. Individuals learn to write inequalities in real-world contexts and graph solution sets on the number line. All inequalities in the lesson are of the form x < c or x < c.

Scholars examine the jobs found in their community by way of surveying. After collecting data, pupils analyze their findings and share their observations with their peers. A video sparks interest. Two posters motivate participants to...

Fifth graders investigate the concepts of combinations and permutations using probability. They practice calculations using probability to measure the outcomes. Students demonstrate how to organize and categorize the data.

In this counting principle worksheet, learners find the possibility of an event while using the counting principle. They read about this tool to find the total number of combinations.

Use the coordinate plane to show two figures are similar. The instructional activity incorporates congruence transformations and dilations to move a figure on to another figure. Pupils determine that if a similarity...

Develop a solid understanding of multiplication and division properties of exponents. Individuals expand exponential terms to discover the patterns and create the properties in the second installment in a series of 15. The activity...

What in the world is the zeroth power? Examine the patterns of exponents as they apply to the zeroth power. Scholars apply the zero property to simple exponential expressions in this fourth lesson in a series of 15. The examples include...

Examine numbers in scientific notation as a comparison of size. The 14th lesson in the series asks learners to rewrite numbers as the same power of 10 in scientific notation to make comparisons. Pupils also learn how to use a calculator...

Create tables of solutions of linear equations. A lesson plan has pupils determine solutions for two-variable equations using tables. The class members graph the points on a coordinate graph. 

Discover a new application of the Pythagorean Theorem. Learners prove and apply the converse of the Pythagorean Theorem in the 17th lesson in a 25-part series. The examples ask learners to verify right triangles using the converse...
