Hi, what do you want to do?
Curated OER
Graphing Integers
Fifth graders complete an integer graphing activity. In this integer graphing lesson plan, 5th graders use coordinate grids to help them complete linear functions and integer graphing.
Curated OER
Graphing Activity
In this probability and statistics activity, students work with a family member to construct graphs based on real life data. The two page activity contains three questions. Answers are not included.
Curated OER
Creating a Spreadsheet
Students create a spreadsheet using ICT. In this algebra lesson plan, students collect and graph their data using a spreadsheet. They find solution to a given problem using trial and error.
Curated OER
Equations and Systems of Equations
Students practice using algebra to be applied to real world situational problems. The key concepts of translation of language to algebraic expressions is covered. They also look in depth at relationships between different quantities.
Curated OER
Graphs Abound
Students create a survey for their classmates to collect data on their favorite foods, eye color, pets or other categorical data. They compile the data from the survey in a table and then make a bar graph of each category using a web tool.
Exploratorium
Radioactive Decay Model
Toss 100 pennies (or poker chips or any other two-different-sided objects) and remove all of those displaying tails. Line them up and repeat. The lines of pennies collected get smaller each time, successfully representing half-life.
Curated OER
Pump Up the Volume
Fourth graders calculate volume. In this volume activity, 4th graders calculate, estimate, and compare units of volume in English and metric systems.
Curated OER
Graphing Integers
Fifth graders explore the math concept of graphing integers. In this graphing integers lesson, 5th graders examine visual examples. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.
Curated OER
Circle, Secants
Students identify the secant segment of a circle. For this geometry lesson, students investigate secant lines formed outside the circle. They use Cabri software to create drawings and explore circles and secants.
Curated OER
Exploring Secants: Products of Segments
Students explore secants and circles. In this geometry lesson, students identify the properties of two and three dimensional shapes. They create arguments to prove the theorems are true.
Curated OER
Pick's Theorem
Students investigate Pick's theorem by completing a lab. In this geometry lesson, students construct polygons using cabri software. They calculate the area of polygons and identify the vertices of each shape.
Curated OER
Finding the Vertex of a Quadratic Function
Students solve quadratic equations and identify the vertex. In this algebra lesson, students factor quadratic equations and identify the different properties of a parabola. They graph the functions using the vertex and intercepts.
Noyce Foundation
Sewing
Sew up your unit on operations with decimals using this assessment task. Young mathematicians use given rules to determine the amount of fabric they need to sew a pair of pants. They must also fill in a partially complete bill for...
Curated OER
Is the Price Right?
In this money management, students study inflation. Students complete the given table filling in the 15 spaces for the prices of items for three different given years.
Noyce Foundation
Photographs
Scaling needs to be picture perfect. Pupils use proportional reasoning to find the missing dimension of a photo. Class members determine the sizes of paper needed for two configurations of pictures in the short assessment task.
Curated OER
Water Pressure Blaster
Third graders complete an experiment to introduce them to the concept of water pressure. In this water pressure lesson plan, 3rd graders create pressure in a water bottle and observe the force of water that is created.
Curated OER
Limits
Students practice the concept of limits graphically, numerically and algebraically. They participate in an exploration lab, BINGO game and complete a puzzle.
Curated OER
Making Good Investments
Students compare different aspects of investing money from traditional savings accounts to money market accounts. They research investment accounts at local banks and compare them.
Curated OER
RCX Car Line Graph
Students develop a line graph based on distances that an RCX car drives in specified amounts of time. They then are given a specific amount of time for the car to drive and be asked to extrapolate the car's distance from the graph.
Curated OER
Hurricane Tracking
Students access the Internet to find information on current hurricanes. They get locations, speeds, and air pressures and then plot the location of the hurricane on a hurricane-tracking map. They also access the FEMA website to solve...
Curated OER
Drip, Drip, Drip or The Case of the Leaky Faucet
Students explore the cost of wasted water. In this math lesson, students conduct an experiment in which they collect data on how much water is lost when a faucet leaks. Students figure the cost of the water that was wasted.
Curated OER
Growing Rock Candy
Students observe the growth of rock candy. In this crystal growth lesson, students make rock candy and measure the crystal growth over five days.
Curated OER
Add & Subtract Fractions w/Unlike Denominators, 2
Students use several examples to create a method for adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators. They present these methods to the class and then practice applying methods to sample problems.
Curated OER
Polynomial Multiplication
Students review information about how to multiply polynomials and then work in pairs to complete a worksheet. They use graphing calculations to help them solve their math problems.
