Students identify symmetry in road signs. In this geometry lesson, students explore objects in the real world for symmetry. They perform translation, rotation and reflection.

Middle schoolers apply properties of probability to the real world. In this probability instructional activity, learners simulate the construction of empirical distribution. They collect and analyze data using central tendencies.

Students explore the concept of fractions, decimals, and percents.  In this number sense instructional activity, students use a worksheet to guide them through the exploration of the relationship between fractions, decimals, and...

Pupils engage in a lesson that has them practice solving equations using multiplication and division. They practice solving problems using the properties needed and then students practice changing word problems into an equation.

Students use logical arguments and inductive reasoning to make or disprove conjectures. After observing a teacher led demonstration, students discover that the deductive process narrows facts to a few possible conclusions. In groups,...

Young scholars investigate the gradient function of a polynomial and they conduct a class discussion about its meaning. Then students use graphing software in order to examine tangents that can be seen visually to aid those who need...

Students calculate the slope of a line. In this slope instructional activity, students use a graph, an equation or two points to help them calculate the slope of a line. They differentiate between a slope of zero and an undefined slope.

Students view a PowerPoint for a warm-up lesson. They practice measuring around the classroom, measuring such things as the length and width of a desk, pencil, door, and book. Students use a website to practice measuring angles.

Students discover the Dewey Decimal System.  In this fractions lesson, students utilize education software to discover how the Dewey Decimal System works.  Students create a PowerPoint presentation in groups or a informational...

Students investigate the different phases of the moon.  For this lunar cycle lesson, students create models of the sun, earth and moon and investigate why we observe the moon the way we do.  Students observe a PowerPoint...

Students simulate owning and running a small business by playing Lemonade Stands. They play the game for three weeks, then work with a partner to produce a Power Point presentation which would be given to a Board of Directors showing...

Fifth graders create a musical composition, a drawing, or a 3D structure to show how math connects to other subjects. In this math and other subjects lesson plan, 5th graders present their presentations to the class and explain the...

Students explore websites and the included PowerPoint presentation to gain a better understanding of mean, median and mode. A weather worksheet is included for in-class work and assessment.

Students explore the migratory patterns of four different animals. Reasons for the migration and migratory distances are investigated in this lesson plan.

Students identify attributes of different geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson, students view a  PowerPoint presentation on shapes and use attribute blocks to examine the corners and edges of each shape. Students work together...

Tenth graders plot points on a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders identify the different quadrants, plots points on a number line and coordinate plane and solve for the midpoint of line segments.

Students explore differents types of triangles and quadriaterals. For this polygon lesson, students  model identify and compare two and three dimensional geometric figures. Students create tangrams and discover the difference...

Students prove the theorem of Pythagoras. In this Pythagorean Theorem lesson, students define the different parts of a right triangle. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the missing sides and angles of a right triangle.

Students investigate the different states of matter by experimenting in class.  In this matter lesson, students participate in a lab activity moving from one station to the next creating different formations of matter....

Students discover the relationship between the sides of a polygon and the number of diagonals that can be drawn from one vertex, the number of triangles that those diagonals form, and the sum of the interior angles of that polygon.

Rumor has it that an exponential can be undone. After playing a rumor game to model exponential growth, pupils learn about undoing exponential functions. They use the definition of the logarithm to convert exponential equations to...

Imaginary numbers are a real thing. Scholars learn about complex numbers, real numbers, and imaginary numbers. They classify given numbers as strictly complex, strictly real, or strictly imaginary in an individual or group activity.

What is the difference between buying and renting a home? Learners become more informed consumers and financially literate adults after developing foundational knowledge of the home-buying process. 

Students investigate and apply properties of math. In this algebra and physics lesson, students define important vocabulary words to create a basic understanding of keywords. They perform experiments using concepts of electricity and math.
