Students predict the-outcome of an event. In this algebra instructional activity, students compare and contrast the probability of an event occurring. They calculate the odds of a simple event and make estimation.

Students explore the concept of Mandelbrot sets and Julia sets. In this Mandelbrot and Julia set lesson, students use a function integrator applet to investigate two-variable function iterations. Students use Julia set and Mandelbrot set...

Students explore the concept of logarithms.  In this logarithms lesson, students graph logarithms on their Ti-Nspire calculator.  Students describe the shapes of their graphs by identifying slope, y-intercepts, and roots. ...

Third graders measure their feet and their parents' feet, record data on computer-generated graphs, and calculate and record mean, median, and mode.

Fourth graders explore fractions. They compare different fractions using fraction bars. Students find equivalent fractions and they use fraction bars to visualize addition of fractions.

Learners analyze the relationship between speed, time and distance. In this math activity, students plan a school trip. Learners determine the efficiency and cost effectiveness of a trip.

Students sort objects based on one characteristic. They define the term "attribute" and give examples of attributes of objects. Students explain their reasoning for sorting objects into groups.

First graders explore counting and classification. They sort leaves, create graphs, write sentences for the data in the graphs, develop graphs for shapes, favorite animals, birthdays, and participate in a die prediction game.

Students investigate water usage, water available, and water demand historically in the local area. They use projections of water usage, availability and demand up to the year 2050. Students use graphs to relate as well as compare and...

Students explore and examine the increases and/or decreases for water user groups: irrigation, municipal, manufacturing, steam electric power generation cooling, livestock, and mining. They utilize percentage changes during their...

Pupils explore number relationships by participating in a data collection activity. In this statistics lesson, students participate in a role-play activitiy in which they own a scrap material storefront that must replenish its...

Students view a video that reviews Mendelian genetics. They discuss the Hardy-Weinberg Law and use Popsicle sticks to simulate genetic variations and ratios in offspring.

Ninth graders identify and describe the x-intercept as the place where the line crosses the x-axis as it applies to football. They create their own differentiations to reinforce the distinction between the x-intercept and the...

Students define the counting principle and how it relates to integers. In this algebra lesson, students add and subtract using the addition and multiplication principles. They solve problems using combination and permutations.

Students complete problems on normal distribution equations. In this algebra lesson plan, students complete 11 problems out of their text book.

Students write equations of a line. In this algebra instructional activity, students investigate the assassination of JFK through linear equations. They calculate the length of given line segments.

Students participate in activities the connect measurement to geometry, statistics, estimation, and the real world. They collect measurements from their elbow to the tip of their middle finger and make a box plot of the data as well as...

Students build a Lego design and then work with a partner to reproduce that design. They guide the building of the reproduction by description only and then check their work.

Eleventh graders explore the spread of a disease through a population.  In this Algebra II instructional activity, 11th graders analyze graphical data representing they spread of a disease.  Students produce a graph of the...

Students explore polynomial functions.  In this Algebra II lesson, students explore graphs of polynomial functions as classify the functions as linear, quadratic, cubic, or quartic.  Students determine the regression equation...

Pupils solve problems using estimation and exact calculations. In this algebra lesson, students use gum balls and thread to create hands on manipulatives to solve problems. They calculate the average of their total data.

Students conduct an experiment to determine how the change in ramp height affects the distances a ball is able to move a stationary cup. Data is collected from several trials and recorded and analyzed.

Students use clock arithmetic to find remainders. In this patterns in math lesson plan, students explore the relationship between clock arithmetic and remainders using a computer applet. Students also identify patterns in Pascal's...

Students review the concept of median, explore how to calculate quartiles for any size data set and experience how to build a box plot.
