Young scholars engage in hands-on activities and observe videos to develop fraction skills. In one activity, they create "paper pizzas" complete with original toppings. By swapping pieces, students display whole and unique-looking pizzas.

Students demonstrate knowledge of the six basic steps to problem solving. They demonstrate ability to apply these six basic steps to problem solving by guiding other students in the solution of a given problem or set of problems.

Learners read books by the author Keiko Kasza and complete critical thinking skills, and connections to different subjects. In this language lesson plan, students connect the books to language arts, social studies, science, math, health,...

Learning about proportions through measuring and mapping distances is the focus of this real-world math lesson that doubles as an activity. Mathematicians complete a course designed to measure and map locations in order to put the...

Students discuss word problems involving time and money. For this mathematics lesson, students solve word problems as a class focusing on addition, subtraction, multiplication, and simple fractions. Students then make their own word...

This worksheet is actually an entire chapter focused on math problems involving, shortest path, minimum connector, traveling salesman, and Chinese postman problems. There are multiple activities, exercises, and examples to get students...

Students use problem solving skills to reason, predict and problem solve through exploration. They recognize a way in which they are different from their peers and create a graph that shows these differences.

Middle schoolers examine the use of credit such as installment purchases and credit cards. In this credit lesson, students learn the vocabulary associated with credit usage such as mortgage, credit report/score, and debit cards. They...

In this latitude and longitude instructional activity, learners complete 4 activities to demonstrate understanding. Students use a protractor to measure angles on a map of the earth. Learners fill out a latitude and longitude chart after...

Population density, it is not all that it is plotted to be. Pupils analyze a scatter plot of population versus area for some of the states in the US. The class members respond to eight questions about the graph, specific points and...

A three-part writing assessment challenges scholars to think critically about schools of the past and present. Learners read informative texts, answer questions to prepare for a discussion, research in small groups, complete a Venn...

Box in the similarities and differences. The 19th lesson plan in a unit of 22 presents class members with multiple box plots to compare. Learners use their understanding of five-number summaries and box plots to find similarities and...

Which graph belongs to which summary statistics? Class members build upon their knowledge of data displays and numerical summaries to connect the two. Pupils make connections between different graphical displays of the same data in...

Scholars apply the concepts of box plots and dot plots to summarize and describe data distributions. They use the data displays to compare sets of data and determine numerical summaries. 

Young consumers get a hefty dose of information on how fraud can put their financial health at risk. The resource provides detailed lecture notes, scaffolded notetaking sheets, vocabulary worksheets, transparencies, and seven links to...

Build on your class' understanding of real numbers as they begin working with complex numbers. Pupils begin with an exploration of i and the patterns in the powers of i. After developing a definition for i, they...

A three-part assessment promotes reading comprehension skills. Class members read literary texts and take notes to discuss their findings, answer comprehension questions, write summaries, and complete charts. 

Develop a formula based upon numerical computations. The 31st part of a 33-part unit has the class determine the formula to convert a temperature in Celsius to a temperature in Fahrenheit. They do this by making comparisons between the...

Future mathematicians learn how to evaluate numerical expressions by applying the order of operations. They evaluate similar-looking expressions to see how the location of parentheses and exponents affects the value. 

Combine total quantities and equivalent ratios in problem solving. The fifth instructional activity in a series of 29 presents problems that can be solved using equivalent ratios. Pupils use part-to-part ratios and either sums or...

Show learners how to use simulations and random sampling to reach conclusions with the last resource in a 25-part series. The assessment contains three scenarios, each with several parts, and covers comparing populations using...

It's all about lines when going around. Pupils graph the relationship between the length of a side of a square and its perimeter. Class members explain the origin in context of the side length and perimeter. They compare the graph to the...

Class members investigate relationships between two variables in the seventh installment of a 16-part module that teaches scholars how to find and describe patterns in scatter plots. Young mathematicians consider linear/nonlinear...

Develop another way to find the equation of a line. The lesson introduces the procedure to find the equation of a line given two points on the line. Pupils determine the two points from the graph of the line.
