In this counting principle learning exercise, students examine, analyze and determine how to solve a variety of word problems with the counting principle. Students find out the total number of combinations that exist.

Students design and create a chair. Students look at current stool design and come up with a prototype from donated materials. Students then test their chair in various settings.

Students investigate wind and weather by creating a weathervane.  For this environment lesson, students identify the purpose of a weathervane and observe weathervanes in action on their campus.  Students create a weathervane...

Students calculate the distance and acceleration of an object. In this algebra lesson, students collect data and create table and graphs to analyze it. They complete a lab as they collect and analyze data on acceleration and distance.

Students solve problems using patterns. In this algebra lesson, students identify the relation, domain and range of a function. They graph functions using coordinate pairs.

Students count from 0-99 using the binary number system. In this algebra lesson, students problem solve by working with faulty circuits and applying their knowledge f Binary Numbers. They work in team to create a solution.

High schoolers engage in a lesson that is concerned with the concepts related to probability. They review the key properties of statistics involved in the measurement of probability that includes mean, median, and mode. The lesson...

Students discuss problem and take turns in pairs, one tossing the coins while the other guesses whether the coins land with the same side up or different sides up. They record the results of each guess as same or different.

Students fill in a probability chart while attempting to catch candy with their non-dominant hands. They replicate the activity with a coin.

Fourth graders read Mary's problem and make sure that they examine it. After some discussion, let the class work on the problem in their groups. They then take turns in putting a picture of their arrangement on the board.

Third graders use a number of problem solving strategies in this unit of lessons. They determine how to draw and model three-dimensional objects, use co-ordinate systems, determine probability of events, and identify paths of simple...

Students invent a new game using 2 rings, 4 darts, and a dartboard. They listen to the problem and brainstorm solving strategies. Students that finish early should try to invent their own super darts problem.

Fourth graders solve a series of parallel problems. They use statistics, geometrical, and numerical aspects to solve the problem. Students create a pattern that answers the problem.

Middle schoolers use dice to determine the risk of being exposed to radon. They practice using new vocabulary related to probability and ratios. They make predictions about the results and record their observations.

Pupils discuss the subject of coins and heads and tails. They work in groups to solve Fran's problem concentrating on the fact that the coins are in a row. Any group that finishes early can try the Extension problem.
