Middle and high schoolers explore the concept of probability. In this probability lesson, learners conduct an experiment with a bag of marbles. Pupils draw marbles from a bag and determine the probability of drawing a particular color...

Middle and high schoolers explore the concept of linear modelling.  In this linear modelling activity, pupils find the line of best fit for life expectancy data of Canadians. They compare life expectancies of men and women, and find...

Students create and interpret line plots, bar graphs, and circle graphs. The lesson assumes mastery of conversions from fraction to decimal to percent, construction of angles, and at least an introduction to graphs displaying data.

In this finding the sums of word problems worksheet, students add the one-digit word numbers and numerals and use the pictures to assist them. Students solve four problems.

Explore the concept of odd and even with your class using this resource. Learners take an online test demonstrating their knowledge of odd and even, sing a song about the concept, and engage in computer-based activities.

Students perform operations with matrices. In this algebra lesson, students use cryptography and cryptanalysis to solve problems. They add, subtract, and multiply matrices.

Students explore where agricultural commodities used in snack foods are grown. They choose a snack food and locate the top five states that produce the food that the snack is made from.

Students identify diagrams of quadrilaterals and circles by different names and classify the figures. They name the areas for each diagram and practice solving the formulas for each.

Mathematicians participate in an hands-on activity to investigate the binary number system and write messages in binary code and have classmates decipher the messages. A said video on the topic does not seem to be available, but the...

Can you tell how tall someone is just by looking at their feet? In this activity, young mathematicians measure their height, arm span, and foot size, graph their findings, and answer questions about how these measurements are related....

In this second grade lesson your class will practice telling time. The goal is to tell time to five minutes using an analog clock. Your young students count by 5 minute intervals and discuss elapsed time. 

Learners collect data from China's population growth and determine the mean, median, and mode from the data. In this data lesson plan, pupils determine probabilities and use them to make predictions.

Here is an engaging lesson on solving equations with two variables. Have the class rewrite linear equations in the slope intercept form, y=mx + b. They graph the lines using the slope and y-intercepts.

Solve problems using integration and derivatives. By using calculus, learners will analyze graphs to find the extrema and change in behavior. They then will identify the end behavior using the derivatives. Activities and handouts are...

Students examine and compare voter turnout in US Elections. They write a letter to a favorite candidate or representative suggesting ways to increase voter turnout.

Students complete experiments to determine how rocket fuel is affected by surface area and temperature. They compare the reaction rates of antacid tablets. They discuss their results to complete the lesson.

Upper elementary and middle schoolers work with the concept of probability. They are introduced to the concept of chaos. Learners graph and analyze using a line plot, work with mean, and are introduced to the concept of variance.

Young statisticians are introduced to box plots and quartiles. They use an activity and discussion with supplemental exercises to help them explore how data can be graphically represented.

Young ratio masters calculate and cut a frame (out of poster board) to accurately create an even frame around a picture of themselves. The frame needs to be proportional to the picture with constraints determined by the instructor. 

Learners compare and contrast two routes selected for a virtual field trip. They create a data table of educational activities, lodging, and meal costs using Microsoft Excel software.

This hands-on resource has future trip planners analyze graphs of mileage, gasoline costs, and travel time on different routes. While this was originally designed for a problem-solving exercise using a Michigan map, it could be used as a...

Are we there yet?  Young trip planners learn about their state and plan a trip. They will select sites to see in three cities in their state, and record associated costs in a spreadsheet. While this was originally designed as a...

Third graders use rulers to measure their shoe size in inches and centimeters. They then enter the class shoe measurements into an excel data base and graph the results of both to make the comparison.

Students find a correlation between a person's height and his/her shoe size. They have access to entering data into lists on a graphing calculator and can complete scatter plots. Students read and interpret a scatter plot and use the...
