Fifth graders use their arm, toothpicks, and marshmallows to create lines, segments, and rays. For this lines, segments, and rays lesson plan, 5th graders learn how these appear on a plane.

Young scholars convert quadratic functions from standard form to vertex form. In this algebra lesson, students solve polynomials using synthetic and long division. They derive and apply the remainder theorem and factor theorem.

Students rewrite word problems using equations. In this algebra lesson, students relate the concept of equations and symbols to the real world. They graph their solutions on a graph and analyze it.

Fifth graders solve division problems using partial quotients. In this long division lesson, 5th graders practice seeing division as a process of repeated subtraction and estimation. This lesson provides a script for the teacher.

Students use input / output tables to help them solve algebraic equations. They use patterns and relations to represent and analyze mathematical situations using algebraic symbols.

Young scholars are introduced to polyhedrons through using straw models to explore geometric solids and constructing Christmas tree ornaments using Epsom salt crystals. Students will view interactive videos and investigate and retrieve...

Fifth graders utilize input/output tables to help them solve algebraic equations. They incorporate patterns, number sequences and relations to represent and analyze mathematical problems and number relationships using algebraic symbols.

Students discover for which kind of linear function is appropriate to use the "scatter" or the "connected" term. In this lesson plan, students investigate functions using variables, patterns book, graph paper, rulers and the graphit...

High schoolers graph quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson, students solve quadratic equations by factoring. They identify the end behavior of the graph.

Students study the origins of pecans and complete a bar graph from the data they have discovered. In this pecan lesson plan, students draw pecans, discuss a pecan time line, and draw a bar graph comparing Arizona pecans to other...

Students study the basic elements and concepts of the visual art's perceptual component - such as shape, line and color. They create tessellations that foster problem solving and reflective thinking.

Students use pattern blocks to develop an understanding of algebraic generalization(pattern) in order to write a mathematical equation using algebraic symbols.

Ninth graders create graphic calendars from printed sources.

Students examine scatterplots and determine the equation of a line using the slope-intercept method. Students interpret graphs, draw inferences, and sketch a curve of best fit for the graph. Based upon patterns in the graphs, students...

Seventh graders graph solutions for inequalities on a number line. They solve 1 and 2 step inequalities in one variable. Students also check solutions to 1 and 2 step equations in one variable

Students use the partial products algorithm to complete multiplication problems. In this partial products lesson plan, students are introduced to the algorithm and connect the relationship to multiplication and division problems.

Fourth graders develop strategies for identifying geometric and number patterns. In this mathematical patterns lesson, 4th graders use pattern blocks to make repeating patterns with numbers and shapes. Students then explore number...

Students create a reading nook. For this measurement lesson, students find a spot in the classroom to turn into a reading nook. They need to measure how much space they need to fit students and supplies into their nook. 

Students investigate different geometric patterns. In this geometry lesson, students create different shapes using toothpicks. They create different patterns and designs and complete a charts using different measurements.

Learners create a butterfly displaying a mirror image of itself to show that it is symmetrical. In this symmetry lesson plan, students go over symmetry in different shapes and identify patterns in butterflies.

Students investigate shapes and patterns. In this algebra instructional activity, students move from concrete to abstract understanding of shapes and concepts. They use variable to identify the unknown.

Students rewrite word problems using symbols. In this algebra lesson, students relate algebra to the real world. They identify the correct steps to take when solving word problems.

Seventh graders discover that there are multiple strategies to be used in problem solving. They explain a problem solving situation in their own words and determine a possible strategy for solving the problem.

Tenth graders investigate the Pythagorean Theorem. Then they type up a formal paragraph proof of a proof of their choice.
