Students use technology (Internet, email) to research mathematics in nonacademic careers in order to increase their awareness and appreciation of mathematics in the "real world."

In this math worksheet, learners apply the Mathematical Induction Principle. Then they find patterns for the sums. They also read the subsequent proofs for the Induction Principle.

Fourth graders complete a worksheet that asks them to order operations within a mathematical expression. students evaluate the expressions in the correct order using mental math and paper. The results are recorded on the worksheet.

Students investigate important women in Mathematics.  In this middle or high school mathematics activity, students research the accomplishments of women that played an important role in the history of mathematics or women currently...

Pupils are introduced to modular mathematics. They start by making clocks for different bases. They use their clocks to count, using the base, and then finding the mod or remainder. They explore both positive and negative numbers with...

Third graders explore the contributions of women to mathematics by writing a research paper, presenting a summary to their peers, and sharing an activity with their peers. They use a variety of reference materials to gather information...

Can your mathematicians come up with an easy way to convert miles to kilometers? Start by asking learners to write an algebraic expression for each of the descriptions given. Once they determine that they are both the same, ask...

Reading and writing take on a whole different meaning in math class. Young mathematicians learn to read verbal phrases by focusing on operation words. They write equivalent algebraic expressions for both mathematical and contextual...

Banks are responsible for keeping our financial information safe. Mathematics is what allows them to do just that! Pupils learn the math behind the cryptography that banks rely on. Using polynomial identities, learners reproduce the...

Transform your geometry instruction by incorporating role play into math class. Pupils begin by completing an assessment to locate unknown angles, and then performing a simulation activity to better understand...

Playing with mathematics can invoke curiosity and excitement. As pupils construct triangles with given criteria, they determine the necessary requirements to support similarity. After determining the criteria, they practice...

Building trigonometric basics here will last a mathematical lifetime. Learners expand on the previous activity in a 36-part series by examining relationships between the sine and cosine of complementary angles. They also review the...

Programming a robot is a mathematical task! The activity asks learners to examine the process of programming a robot to vacuum a room. They use a coordinate plane to model the room, write equations to represent movement, determine the...

Time to experiment with mathematics! Learners study experimental design and how randomization applies. They emphasize the difference between random selection and random assignment and how both are important to the validation of the...

What are the chances? Teach your classes to answer this question using mathematics. The first part of a three-day lesson on determining significance differences in experimental data prompts learners to analyze the data by...

Understanding how functions transform is a key concept in mathematics. This introductory lesson makes a strong connection between the function, table, and graph when exploring transformations. While the resource uses absolute value...

Making connections between a function, table, graph, and context is an essential skill in mathematics. Focused on comparing linear and exponential relationships in all these aspects, this resource equips pupils to recognize and interpret...

Math language? Set notation is used in mathematics to communicate a process and that the same process can be represented as computer code. The concept to the loop in computer code models the approach pupils take when creating a solution...

Seeing functions in nature is a beautiful part of mathematics by analyzing the motion of a dolphin over time. Then take a look at the value of a stock and maximize the profit of a new toy. Explore the application of quadratics by...

Notation in mathematics can be intimidating. Use this lesson to expose pupils to the various ways of representing a function and the accompanying notation. The material also addresses the importance of including a domain if necessary....

Develop a more precise definition of similar. The lesson begins with an informal definition of similar figures and develops the need to be more precise. The class learns about dilations and uses that knowledge to arrive at a...

Mirror, mirror on the wall, which is the fairest resource of them all? Individuals write and solve one-step equations for problems about angle measurement, including those involving mirrors. Both mathematical and real-world problems are...

Applying a learned technique to a new type of problem is an important skill in mathematics. The lesson asks scholars to apply their understanding to analyze dilations of different figures. They make conjectures and conclusions to...

Identifying and verifying reproducible patterns in mathematics is an essential skill. Mathematicians identify the relationship of sides when an angle is bisected in a triangle. Once the pupils determine the relationship, they prove it to...
