Money Math
Young mathematicians put their skills to the test in the real world during this four-lesson consumer math unit. Whether they are learning how compound interest can make them millionaires, calculating the cost of remodeling their bedroom,...
Curated OER
Using Coordinate Geometry by Land, Sea and Outer Space.
Students complete a table of values and plot points, as well as construct a graph on a coordinate grid. They construct two graphs on the same coordinate system, and identify the point of intersection. Students represent and record...
Curated OER
Shapes and Designs
In this shapes and designs worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 6 different types of problems. First, they fill in the first two columns of the table show with their shapes. Then, students measure the interior angles of each...
Curated OER
Cockroach Slope
Students identify the slope of linear functions. In this slope lesson, students collect data and graph it. They write equations with no more than two variables and use technology to explain their data.
NTTI
Line 'Em Up!
Coordinate planes and Cartesian graphing systems are the focus of this math lesson. Learners use video, internet activities, and engage in hands-on activities in order to explore coordinate planes. The materials needed for this lesson...
Curated OER
Geometric Relatioships
Students explore measurements and geometric formulas. In this geometry lesson, students investigate pi as it relates to geometry. They collect data and use a chart to organize the data.
Curated OER
Charting a New Course
Young scholars calculate the distance they will travel. In this geometry lesson, students use the TI and CBL system to make calculation of a certain path. They explore geography by calculating distances between different areas as it...
Curated OER
Paper Pool
Students analyze the measurements of rectangles. In this analysis lesson, students will investigate patterns by looking at ratios. Students will also hypothesize the probability of a ball going into a certain pocket when playing pool....
Curated OER
Jelly Bean Statistics
Students develop a process of packing jelly beans efficiently. In this math lesson, students explain the quality control methods they designed. They construct histograms using Excel spreadsheet.
Curated OER
Counting Triangles
Sixth graders examine triangles in a figure. In this geometry lesson, 6th graders establish a method for counting triangles within a given figure. Students discover that the total number of triangles is the sum of all numbers counted.
Curated OER
How Many Toothpicks?
Students investigate different geometric patterns. For this geometry lesson, students create different shapes using toothpicks. They create different patterns and designs and complete a charts using different measurements.
Curated OER
Measuring Length and Width
Second graders practice measuring length and width of objects in inches. In this measurement lesson, 2nd graders use a ruler to measure the length and width of a chair, desk, and book. Students view a video, "Math Investigations II," to...
Curated OER
Building Shapes From Numbers
Students experience how to illustrate some of the many connections between number and geometry. Through this 2-3 day focus on square numbers and triangular numbers, students make connections among mathematical topics.
Curated OER
Line 'Em Up!
Students find coordinate points on a grid and create a line graph with those points. This lesson should ideally be used during a unit on various types of graphs. They make and use coordinate systems to specify locations and to describe...
