Students discover patterns and sequences. They use a website to explore patterns and fractals. Students share their discovery of fractals and their patterns with the class. They develop a list of patterns used in everyday life.

Students establish a strategy for adding simple fractions. They convert improper fractions to mixed numbers and interpret drawings and storyboards.

Eighth graders identify that a ratio is a comparison of two numbers and that a proportion is an equation that equates two ratios. They identify the extremes and means of proportions, as well as the product of the extremes equals the...

Students cut an index card to create three similar right triangles and explore the congruencies and proportions that exist. They investigate the properties of lines and concepts of congruency, similarity, tangency and symmetry of...

In this Geometry instructional (work)sheet, students are instructed on how to find the geometric mean.  Students are then shown how the geometric mean is applied to proving similar triangles.

Students use the terms: ratio, proportion, and measurement in their description of the life of a person one inch tall.

Students create visuals of the effect of a spring scale. In this algebra lesson, students use the navigator to graph the effects created by a spring scale. They draw conclusion from the graph.

Students solve and verify the solution for unknown measures. In this geometry activity, students identify the properties of circles. They use the arc, angle and segment relationship to find the missing measures.

Students explore circumference and diameter. In this math lesson, students apply their knowledge of circumference and diameter to solve mathematical riddles. Students apply this knowledge to find circumference and diameter of various...

Eighth graders extend skills for representing and solving linear equations to linear inequalities. Lesson activities build understanding and skill by plotting ordered pairs of numbers that either satisfy or do not satisfy a given...

Students incorporate their conceptual understanding of proportions to write a creative piece similar to the example poem.

Students utilize triangulation techniques to determine altitudes of objects. An altitude locator is constructed and used to determine the height of a building or a tree. Tangent tables and formulas provide the ratio for the formula to...

Learners explore which fractions are made real in our world. They also show the relationship of cross multiplication and equivalent fractions To reinforce fraction skills.

Students discuss the nature of fractions and compare fractions based on a similar whole to determine relative size.

Eighth graders practice finding simple interest and apply their findings to real-world situations. They work with percents in the form of commission and sales taxes. After completing an assignment during independent practice, they are...

Students investigate the properties of lines and congruent triangle theorems as well as apply geometric properties and relationships to real-world mathematical problems. Given two different scenarios, they examine maps that have been...

Sixth graders express numbers as percents greater than 100 and less than one. For this lesson on percents, 6th graders work in groups with real life scenarios to develop an understanding on percentages greater than 100 and less than one....

Learners find the identity o sine, cosine and tangent. In this precalculus lesson, students solve and identify the different parts of a right triangle. They use the ratios of the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing side or angle.

The introduction to the lesson plan mentions a sailor's limited capacity to store drinking water on his ship. Pupils then set up an overnight experiment to remove freshwater from salt water by distillation. There is a math and map...

For this similar figures worksheet, learners solve and complete 4 different problems. First, they write a proportion and substitute. Then, students find the cross products and simplify. Finally, they divide each side to find the value in...

In this similar figures worksheet, students find the missing side of the larger figure when the smaller figure's sides are given. Students complete 4 problems.

Students practice how to calculate volume using mummy cases. They measure using ancient Egyptian, U.S., and metric systems. They explore how to convert measurements into different systems, and discuss ratios.

Pupils determine and compare hieroglyph content and frequency to an alternative alphabet based on symbols that mimic sounds of the alphabet.

Students calculate the size of a mummy case and its contents using ancient Egyptian measurements.
