What a great classroom resource! The intention of this lesson is to show that real-world math can and should be applied to the community in which your students reside. The class relates properties of equations to solving for species...

Expand your knowledge of exponents with an activity that promotes critical thinking and comparison skills. Middle and high schoolers compare numbers written in expanded and exponential form and explain their strategies for solving...

Something for young mathematicians to remember: the sum of any two sides must be greater than the third. Class members investigates the Triangle Inequality Theorem to find the relationship between the sides of a triangle. At the...

Build boxes using unit cubes to compare surface area and volume. The group performs multiple experiments to determine properties of volume, such as if it makes a difference which order the dimensions are multiplied in. Extensive...

The djinni in this resource offers gold coins. Learners use the properties of exponents to make their decision as one offer increases exponentially. This makes a great group project. As the commentary suggests, start by having groups...

Mathematicians practice communicating why the sum of two multiples of a number results in another multiple of that number. Encourage learners to construct a viable argument by applying the distributive property or by drawing a diagram....

Learners examine the properties of quadrilaterals from the point of view of rigid motion. Different types of quadrilaterals are characterized by their symmetries, so learners explore the symmetries of a described quadrilateral to...

Here learners get to flex some serious algebraic muscles through an investigation of logistic growth. The properties of the constant terms in the logistic growth formula are unraveled in a short but content-dense...

The key to understanding is making connections. Scholars explore angle dilations using properties of parallel lines. At completion, pupils prove that angles of a dilation preserve their original measure. 

Parallel parking might be difficult, but finding parallel lines is fairly simple. In this lesson, learners first complete an assessment task involving parallel and perpendicular lines in the coordinate plane. Individuals then take part...

Simplify your life by using a resource on simplifying square roots. Pupils review square roots and calculate values of given radical expressions using a calculator. The lesson plan concludes by having them consider the results to develop...

The concept of slope gets an approachable, yet theoretical, treatment in a comprehensive algebra lesson. The use of functional notation and problem-solving techniques keep the material rigorous, but detailed teaching notes and lots of...

Is the inverse a function? Scholars learn how to examine a function to answer this question. Using an online interactive, they examine the properties of inverse functions to compare to the original function.

Classify quadrilaterals quickly. After playing a game to identify quadrilaterals, your young scholars should come away with knowledge of the properties of quadrilaterals. They then apply this knowledge to create a decision tree to ease...

Ninth graders solve linear equations. In this algebra lesson, 9th graders discuss the steps for solving linear equations and work through examples with the teacher. They work in pairs to create their own linear equation and complete a...

Connect math with science! Pupils apply properties of Ohms Law as they solve problems and identify the inverse relationship of a function. They analyze the shape of the graph of an inverse function and use it to make predictions.

Students calculate the surface area of prisms. In this geometry instructional activity, students investigate the properties of prisms and analyze ways to calculate the are of a rectangular prism. They derive the formula for surface area.

Young scholars examine quadrilaterals including properties, definitions, and names.  In this quadrilateral lesson students apply the correct property to the different kinds of quadrilateral. 

Help algebra learners relate a real-life function that happens at the Oakland Coliseum every time the Raiders play. The resource states that the revenue of the Oakland Raiders home games is a function of the number of seats sold and the...

Use the handout as guided or independent practice in drawing a reflection of a rectangle over a line. Three rectangles are provided for practice in addition to a critical thinking question.

If I want to build up my heart, where should I start? Science scholars use statistics in a sports physiology setting during an insightful experiment. Groups measure resting and active heart rates and develop a scatter plot that shows the...

Second graders examine the commutative property of addition and the property of zero in addition and subtraction. They complete an asessment worksheet to gain practice reading and working number sentences horizontally and vertically.

In this math worksheet, pupils solve five problems, identifying each property as it is used. They identify the used property in 9 problems.

Students explore the concepts of commutative, associative, and distributive properties. In this beginning algebra lesson, students discuss the terms "commute", "associate", and "distribute" and how they correlate with the related...
