Circles aren't functions, so how is it possible to write the equation for a circle? Pupils first develop the equation of a circle through application of the Pythagorean Theorem. The activity then provides an exercise set for learners to...

Help your class discover possible patterns in a sequence of numbers and then write an equation with a lesson plan that covers sequence notation and function notation. Graphs are used to represent the number patterns.

Is it possible to add infinitely long decimals? As pupils complete the examples in the ninth lesson of this 25-part series, they determine that adding these decimals cannot be done without error. Their task is then to determine the size...

What color does your garden grow? Learners manipulate the number of flowers of two colors in two garden plots. They determine the probabilities of choosing a particular color of a flower in a given plot. Scholars find the relationship of...

You hit the jackpot with a fun lesson! Peak your pupils' interest with a lesson calculating the probability of poker hands. A video shows the different types of possible hands when given a specific hand and one card to draw. 

Bring history to life through literature. The first in a series of three challenge activities designed to accompany Theme 5: One Land, Many Trails does just that through unique projects connected to historical fiction and nonfiction...

Is CTE the right choice for me? Introduce the class to career and technical education through an exploratory activity, fourth in a series of six career readiness activities. After an introductory video, scholars determine possible...

Is it possible that six simple traits lead to a happy, successful life? Part four of a six-part series of college and career readiness lessons examines the effects of character in determining success. Working groups discuss...

Two lessons explore the possibility of living on the moon. First, scholars read various scenarios to identify which careers would best transfer to life in space. Finally, pupils examine a website to locate items made for outer space,...

Second graders explore probability. In this math lesson plan, 2nd graders discuss the possibility of choosing a certain colored tile from a bag. Students perform experiments and describe the outcomes as certain, possible, unlikely and...

Fifth graders investigate the concepts related to the endangerment of different animal species. They conduct research using a variety of resources. The skills of prediction are used to show the possible outcome of the extinction of a...

Pupils interpret primary sources concerning Pontiac's Rebellion. They are able to explain the motives behind the attack on the British. Students predict possible outcomes of Pontiac's Rebllion.

Students simulate the greenhouse effect and draw a model of what he/she thinks is happening. They draw inferences from the model and from other resources to determine possible outcomes of increased earth temperatures.

In this genetics worksheet, students manipulate plastic eggs to discover the genetics of dominant genes.  Students combine the various colors and halves of the eggs to complete 6 phenotype graphs of the possible outcomes.

In this fair coin activity, students show their work, solving 5 probability and possible outcome problems. Answers are included on page 2.

Rolling dice is a great way for your mathematicians to get a hands-on approach to probabilities. Use the chart to record whether they rolled a six during ten attempts. Calculate results individually (or in small groups) and then record...

Burgers and salads and sodas, oh my! Scholars use a menu to investigate the Fundamental Counting Principle. They create tree diagrams to illustrate the number of possible choices for each given scenario.

It's all relatively simple once you get the gist. Young mathematicians learn about sample spaces and simple probability by conducting an activity with dice. To complete the second of six parts in the Statistics and Probability unit, they...

Young scholars investigate probability. They will define probability as the likelihood of an event occurring. Then, they determine the probability of sitting in a particular seat on a plane. They also set up ratios of various seating...

Roll the dice with this multimedia math lesson on probability. After first viewing a series of three short videos explaining probability, independent events, and dependent events, young mathematicians complete a set...

There's no need to roll dice for this probability experiment, the resource includes them already. Scholars use an interactive to see how including more possibilities as favorable outcomes in a dice activity affects the probabilities....

Young mathematicians make a tree diagram of all possibilities for sandwiches using an interactive. They learn how multiplication speeds up the process of finding the number of outcomes.

Students view a news segment on a local school district giving every student a laptop. After viewing, they interview the school principal and discusses what he expects the outcome to be. They interview parents and students in their own...

Students, after brainstorming possible problem solving activities, choose from one of the many and write what the problem is and a solution to solve it.
