Study various types of mathematical models in this math lesson plan. Learners calculate the slope to determine the risk in a situation described. They respond to a number of questions and analyze their statistical data. Then, they...

Students examine stoichiometry. In this chemical reaction and mole lesson, students complete an experiment based on readiness levels to explore that changes are quantified in chemical reactions.

As the Summer Olympics are approaching, incorporate Olympic-type games into the classroom. From straw javelin to cotton ball shot put, these games are sure to keep leaners engaged. The best part is that there is math involved! Pupils...

Is it bigger, or is it smaller—or maybe it's the same size? Individuals learn to describe enlargements and reductions and quantify the result. Lesson five in the series connects the creation of a dilated image to the result. Pupils...

We know that sample data varies — it's time to quantify that variability! After calculating a sample mean, pupils calculate the margin of error. They repeat the process with a greater number of sample means and compare the results.

The world is full of patterns. Help learners quantify those patterns with mathematical representations. The first Algebra activity in a compilation of four uses a series of activities to build the concept of patterns using multiple...

You may be able to see patterns visually, but mathematics quantifies them. Here learners find correlation in scatterplots and write equations to represent that relationship. They fit a line to the data, find two points on the line, and...

Tuition costs are always on the rise. Help your classes quantify this change using real tuition data. Future college scholars analyze data from 2012 and compare it to current tuition rates with a graphical analysis.

Third graders use whole numbers and fractions to make connections between abstractions of the mathematical world and the real world. In this fractions and measurement lesson, 3rd graders identify, quantify groups , and measure distances....

Use paper strips or models to relate division problems to division of fraction problems. Since the materials can be broken up, it helps them to show how they can complete repeated subtraction with fractions and not just whole numbers.

Learners solidify their knowledge of countable and uncountable nouns and their quantifiers. The lesson includes a number of overlooked or idiomatic expressions to help higher level students expand their knowledge.

Third graders explore number values by participating in class math activities. In this fractions instructional activity, 3rd graders collaborate with classmates to discuss the technique of adding mix numbers while utilizing paper plates...

Students investigate the different hormone contaminants in the water supply. In this math instructional activity, students analyze data tables and graphs. They demonstrate exponential growth and decay using frog populations.

Using a 2002 California Gray David recall vote as an example, young statisticians  identify sources of bias in samples and find ways of reducing and eliminating sampling bias. They consider ways to select random samples from a...

Fifth graders examine patterns and relate to equations to solve math problems.  In this patterns lesson plan, 5th graders diagram, graph, use models and use tables to solve equations for real world problems.

Students discuss and use a formula to calculate "Percent of Change." They duscuss the stock market and ways reports are quantified. Students watch as the teacher demonstrates how to create a spread sheet to calculate changes of a...

Students study fractions. In this equivalent fractions lesson, students utilize fraction strips to enhance their understanding of equivalent fractions. They watch a demonstration and then work independently with their own set of fraction...

Youngsters test magnetic strength by measuring the mass of paper clips that they "hook" with a magnet. Your first and second graders should love the hands-on activities associated with this plan. The reproducible materials are quite good...

Students study a way to quantify the process of photosynthesis during a given time using the Elodea plant. They design a hypothesis that they test in the hands on activity. They compare the amounts of photosynthesis that occur during low...

Middle schoolers explore the concept of geometric patterns. In this geometric pattern lesson, students use Microsoft Excel to explore geometric patterns. Middle schoolers analyze growth rates of pattern growth. Students create their...

Students enact the life cycle of a sessile animal and quantify the possibility of survival under the conditions given. They then present to the class a new adaptation which will increase the animals chance of survival.

Students solve problems. In this math lesson, students write solutions using LOGO commands in order to help get the turtle to the pond.

Students explore weight. In this math lesson, students predict which item weighs more and discuss how they arrived at their decision. Students weigh several items to determine which weighs more.

Mathematics set notation can be represented through a computer program loop. Making the connection to a computer program loop helps pupils see the process that set notation describes. The activity allows for different types domain and...
