Transformationally Speaking
Young mathematicians explore transformations of graphs by graphing sets of functions on the same pair of axes. They use their graphs to determine the effect that the values of a and b in y = ax + b have on the graph of y = x.

Biomimicry, Nature: Architecture of the Future
Students explore the relationship between nature and architecture. In this cross curriculum history, culture, and architecture lesson, students observe and discuss structures visible in nature. Students view websites in which Native...
Curated OER
Rocket Patterns
Students create their own paper rockets. They identify different patterns and practice making their own. They also discover the concept of sequences.
Curated OER
Snuggle Up To Pattern Blocks
Young scholars view and discuss a video about the use of pattern block shapes to form pictures. They, in groups, form garden and quilt designs using pattern blocks and then decorate the room with their art.
Curated OER
Shape Patterns
In this math worksheet, students examine a pattern of geometric shapes. After looking at the sequence of shapes and deciding what the pattern is, students choose the shape that would come next. There are 4 problems.
Curated OER
Patchwork Math
Students recognize and identify shapes in their environment. They investigate why objects can be composed of several different shapes. They follow a pattern to recreate designs using various shapes.

Math Lesson Plan: Handprint Counting by 5's
A handprint worksheet is provided to help youngsters practice skip counting by 5s. As a follow up, you could have little ones gather into groups to skip count their own fingers by fives.
Curated OER
Transportation Math
Sixth graders solve transportation themed word problems. For this word problem lesson, 6th graders solve transportation themed word problems using critical thinking skills.
Curated OER
Population Patterns
Students study patterns of population growth in an ecosystem and why populations must remain in balance. They interpret basic population graphs and suggest scenarios about different population growth patterns in an ecosystem.
Curated OER
Pattern Recognition
Young scholars identify different patterns and sequence in a deck of cards. For this algebra lesson, students use reasoning and proof to solve problems. They create different steps to identify and solve their problems.

Geo Jammin' By DeSign - Day 1, Lesson 1: Math in Motion
Second graders, through large screen monitor, study geometric design. They participate in a diagnostic assessment in which they use pnecils, scissors and paste.
Curated OER
Functions in Motion
Students graph polynomials functions and analyze the end behavior. In this algebra lesson, student differentiate between the different polynomials based on the exponents. They use a TI to help with the graphing.

Thirst Dilemma (Drinking in the Desert)
Ninth graders explore linear functions. In this Algebra I activity, 9th graders collect and analyze date as they investigate the question of how long will water last if you are trapped in a desert. Students create...
Curated OER
Living in Base Ten
Middle schoolers explore scientific notation and the structure of the metric system. In this middle school mathematics lesson, students read How Much is a Million? by David M. Schwartz to introduce middle schoolers to the need for...
Curated OER
It's All in the Rings
Students examine how the environment influences tree growth. In this tree lesson, students analyze the growth of rings to see how plants adjust to adverse conditions in order to survive.
Curated OER
Life is Full of Problems
Pupils use the problem solving strategy of guess and check to investigate math word problems. They determine which problem solving strategy or strategies would work best in problem situations.
Curated OER
Geometric Collages
Fourth graders investigate the concept of geometric patterning. They create their own patterns with a few basic requirements. The patterns must illustrate the concepts of flipping, 90 and 180 degree rotations. The collages also consist...
Curated OER
Investigating Square and Triangle Numbers
Fifth graders build increasingly larger squares and triangles using pattern blocks. They record the growth patterns on a chart and look for corresponding numerical patterns. Students describe the patterns they find and use them to...
