Learners investigate an article on local linearity. In this calculus lesson, students read about the application of math in the real world. They gain insight from the teachers view of how to teach and relate the topic to the real world.

Students engage in a lesson plan in which the teacher can evaluate, reinforce and reteach numeral recognition, one to one matching and the writing of numerals from 1-20. 'Anno's Counting Book' is used to kick off this lesson plan.

Students explore the seasons and months of the year through literature, math, art and movement. They identify the month of their birthday and in which season it comes. Students name the four seasons and they memorize a poem to recite the...

Fourth graders compare and order fractions. In this comparing and ordering fractions lesson, 4th graders make fraction strips from construction paper but pretend that they are candy bars. They use the strips to compare and order...

Students collect data and analyze it using a graph. In this algebra lesson, students identify different bodies of water and relate the flowing to math. They collect data on the rate of flow and the height of flow. They analyze the data...

Ninth graders establish a food budget based on individual needs and resources. They evaluate grocery stores and establish guidelines for purchasing specific foods.

Students complete three parts of an "Organizning and Reading Data" worksheet. First, they go over the rubric to determine the work will be scored. They organize data by taking tallies, make a pictograph and a bar graph using the data....

Learners determine the height of objects using shadows. For this math lesson, students discus methods of finding the height of items without directly measuring. Learners measure shadows and figure the actual height of the object.

Meant to follow a lesson about how concentrated air particles can be inside of a building, this resource gets individuals to assess the possible air pollutants in their own homes. They take home a worksheet and circle spots on it that...

Reflections are the geometric mirror. Pupils explore this concept as they discover the properties of reflections. They focus on the coordinates of the reflections and look for patterns. This is the third lesson in a seven-part series.

Don't allow your pupils to become outliers! As learners examine normal distributions by calculating z-scores, they compare outcomes by analyzing the z-scores for each. 

Young mathematicians review what they have previously learned about coordinates and straight line graphs. Then, they access an interactive component within the lesson plan to gain more practice with this skill. Additionally, there are...

Teach your class about the necessities of life using the book Tillena Lou's Day in the Sun. After a teacher-read-aloud, students make puppets depicting different plants and animals from the story and illustrating the habitat in...

They say you can interpret statistics to say what you want them to. Teach your classes to recognize valid experimental results! Pupils analyze experiments and identify flaws in design or statistics. 

Practice converting a conventional number into scientific notation, and vice-versa. Using an applet, they perform the operations of multiplication and division on numbers expressed in scientific notation.

Learners use the on-line affine recurrence plotter to graph equations. They work on-line to create graphs of trout in a trout pond and savings account balances when interest is compounded over time. Links to the four one-day lessons are...

Middle and high schoolers perform transformations. In this web based activity, students explore dihedral figures. They use the web tools to translate, rotate, and reflect figures. Pupils identify lines of symmetry.

Students add numbers to ten.  In this addition to ten instructional activity, students play the Ten frame interactive game to learn about addition and facts to number ten.

Students use an Internet tool to explore shapes and how they combine.  For this patterns lesson, students create quilting patterns using various shapes.  Students recognize how the shapes fit together.

Unfortunately for young mathematicians, the world isn't made entirely of parallelograms, triangles, and trapezoids. After first learning the area formulas for these common shapes, students apply this new knowledge to...

Mr. Wormwood, one of the characters in Roald Dahl's Matilda, is not the most trustworthy of characters. Have student groups take on the roles of car salespeople and play a game to see who can make the most profit by selling...

All data is not created equal. Scholars examine the different types of studies and learn about the importance of randomization. They explore the meaning of causation and when it can be applied to data. 

Develop probability distributions from simulations. Young mathematicians use simulations to collect data. They use the data to draw graphs of probability distributions for the random variable in question.

After reading Elie Wiesel's Night, watching the movie Life is Beautiful, and researching World War II, class members write a comparison essay on the book and film. This includes a prior knowledge activity, discussion in whole and small...
