Eighth graders choose topics of interest, and select books from the library about them. They utilize a worksheet embedded in the text which has the students rate the text they've read based on it's "believability factor." An interesting...

Students explain how telescopes work and how they can contribute to our knowledge of the universe.

Students observe what happens when ice in a glass of water starts to melt. In this ice lesson plan, students see that the ice does not make the water overflow, it simply occupies the space it did in frozen form.

Students conduct a web-based project to analyze recent or on-going climate change research in the North. They are exposed to the application of science in current research on climate change.

Knowing the basics of drafting allows individuals to create drawings that show all the views and measurements necessary to allow others to visualize the original object. Pupils gain experience by drawing three orthographic views of...

Militaries throughout history have used topography information to plan strategies, yet many pupils today don't understand it. Scholars use Legos and a contour gauge to understand how to construct and visualize topographic profiles. This...

Viewers learn how to identify and perform a variety of transformations with a video that provides seven items on transformations. Pupils demonstrate their understanding of dilations, reflections, rotations, and translations. The video...

First graders are introduced to a variety of maps such as globes, street maps, atlases, and different types of floor plans. The focus of the lesson requires individuals to create their own plan of the classroom using the PowerPoint...

Frequency polygons are a different way to represent frequencies over intervals. Pupils take frequencies for intervals of data from a frequency table and plot them as a frequency polygon. Budding mathematicians find information about the...

Make enlargements with and without centers. Pupils work through seven problems dealing with dilations or enlargements. The first couple items are strict enlargements without centers, while the others have centers. Class members also...

Eleven problems provide pupils the opportunity to find the lines of symmetry or identify rotational symmetry. Scholars alter designs to make them symmetrical, learn to recognize signs that are symmetrical, and identify the type of...

After viewing a video on fractional amounts, young mathematicians put their new knowledge to the test. Throughout the assessment, class members find the fractional amount for prices, times, and populations. There are a few percent and...

Reinforce math skills with an eight-page exercise that stretches scholars' computation muscles through 13 order of operation problems. 

Give scholars the opportunity to show what they know about ordering fractions, decimals, and percents with a five-page, eight-problem independent practice. With clear instructions and supportive advice, learners are bound for a...

Practice makes proficient! Here, scholars practice their ratio skills to convert measurements while cooking. Nine problems make up a nine-page document equipped with clear instructions and advice for successful completion while working...

Eleven questions make up an eight-page practice exercise that focuses on how to compute exchange rates. Money used is the American dollar, Euro, and British pound. 

Reinforce the concept of place value with an eight-page practice exercise equipped with 18 problems for scholars to show what they know.    

Reinforce estimation and the four operations—addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division—with eight page, 15 problem independent practice exercise.

Young mathematicians view a video on solving quadratic equations by factoring. They use this skill to complete a worksheet of practice problems — a great way to gauge understanding!

Which scenario is the better deal? Class members examine nine scenarios to determine which choice offers a better deal. Pupils decide whether they need to find unit costs or total prices to compare the two options.

Pupils learn the steps for basic constructions using a straightedge, a compass, and a pencil. Pairs develop the skills to copy a segment and an angle, bisect a segment and an angle, and construct parallel and perpendicular lines.

Add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions with a worksheet designed to give your learners practice performing fraction operations. 

Reinforce math skills with an eight-page exercise comprised of 15 problems covering the concept of ratios. 

Boost math skills and inspire scholars to show what they know with a six-page independent practice that focuses on proportional relationships and percents.
