Students estimate the number of items in a group. In this estimation lesson, students are presented with random objects to clean up. Students estimate how many items are present and then compare the actual number of items to their...

Students look through magazines and calculate the percentages of the types of ads in the magazines. For this percentages lesson plan, students create a graph to show their results.

Students collect and analyze data with a graph. In this statistics lesson, students use central tendencies to find the meaning of their data. They display the data on a Ti calculator.

In this United States population worksheet, students solve word problems about the United States population by using the quadratic formula. Students complete 6 problems.

Pupils rotate through work stations where they compute problems of theoretical and experimental probability. In this probability lesson plan, students use simulations of a lottery system.

Students explain and appreciate the use of statistics in everyday life. They define basic terms used in statistics and compute simple measures of central tendency.

Students conduct a traffic survey and interpret their data and use graphs and charts to display their results.

Third graders measure their feet and their parents' feet, record data on computer-generated graphs, and calculate and record mean, median, and mode.

Students participate in and conduct a survey to determine various class favorites. They collect, organize and display their data, interpret the results, and complete a packet of worksheets to display the information.

Fifth graders investigate geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson, 5th graders classify and group shapes and patterns by likeness. They investigate patterns based on clues from their peers.

Fourth graders investigate the concept of graphing and comparing different types of data using pictographs, line graphs, scatter plots, etc... They gather data and make interpretations while examining the medium of how it is displayed.

Students use concrete and pictorial representation of geometric patterns to extend patterns. In this geometric patterns lesson plan, students identify patterns and extend them.

Students calculate the probability of an event occurring. In this probability lesson, students differentiate between independent, dependent or compound events. They find the range of the data.

Students factor and solve quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson, students identify the domain and range of the quadratic function. They graph the parabola and identify the vertex.

Students practice ways to better manage their time. They keep track of their current use of time. Students prioritize and schedule events and use a daily planning calendar to schedule their time.

Students use a variety of resources to decide on a vacation destination. They locate three points of interest, a hotel, and two restaurants at their destination.Students obtain driving directions for their trip, create a trip budget, and...

Students apply number and operation skills to learn how to spend a gift certificate. In this mathematical reasoning lesson, students use base 10 blocks as money and calculate how much money they have.

Young scholars build towers from recycled materials. in this building lesson, students build the highest tower they can from varied materials. They focus on shapes and which items should go on the bottom to make a strong base. 

Studens collect and graph data. In this algebra lesson, young scholars use a CBL and CBR with a TI Calcualtor to observe linear graphs. They use the correct vocabualry as they discuss the collected data.

Students create spreadsheets and bar graphs based on results of survey of favorite holidays.

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.

Fourth graders investigate repeating and growing patterns. Models, graphs and words are used to describe, extend and represent patterns. Students use evidence from models and graphs to support the identification of patterns.

Students calculate the costs for lodging and meals for a virtual field trip. They calculate the number of nights lodging needed for road and city travel and the number of meals needed, the costs for each, and input the data using...

Eighth graders become engaged in a lesson plan in geometry to improve mathematical skills. They construct triangles, segments, and points using Geometer's Sketchpad to demonstrate how dilations of triangles and rectangles change...
