Model geometric concepts through a hands-on approach. Learners apply similar triangle relationships to solve for an unknown side length. Before they find the solution, they describe the transformation to help identify corresponding sides.

Evaluate patterns of numbers through an engaging task. Scholars work collaboratively to determine a general rule reflecting the sum of consecutive positive integers. Multiple patterns emerge as learners explore different arrangements.

Geometric figures are perfect to use for proofs. Scholars prove conjectures about whether given points lie on a triangle and about midpoints. They use a provided dialogue among fictional students to frame their responses.

How are chemical bonds similar and how are they different? Provide your young chemists with the resources to more thoroughly understand the concepts of ionic and covalent bonds. Pupils research these topics, diagram examples of each...

Explore angle relationships associated with transversals. Pupils construct parallel lines with a transversal and find the measures of the angles formed. They figure out how the different angles are related before constructing...

When the sun's rays can't reach the producers in a food web, where does all the energy come from? Extreme environments call for extreme food sources. Young scientists investigate creatures that appear to get their energy from methane...

Sixth graders complete a purchase order. In this ratios and patterns lesson, 6th graders work in groups to complete a purchase order for a grand opening of the school snack bar. Students use rations to figure out the need and quantity...

Young scholars find the identity o sine, cosine and tangent. In this precalculus lesson, students solve and identify the different parts of a right triangle. They use the ratios of the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing side or angle.

Young scholars investigate motion using a CBL. In this algebra instructional activity, students collect and graph data on a coordinate plane. They define and identify amplitude and period of conic graphs.

Students rewrite word problems using algebraic symbols. In this algebra instructional activity, students graph linear equations after they rewrite the equation using algebra. They relate math to the real world.

Students recognize patterns and sequences in numbers. In this geometry lesson plan, students create rules to define the sequences and patterns they obsere. They translate coded messages as they dicuss navigational terms.

Students are introduced to the correct techniques to use for proper writing. In groups, they practice the use of clustering to help them organize their thoughts and identify the main idea of their paper. To end the lesson, they write...

Young scholars estimate and measure exact. In this geometry lesson, students create different object in three-dimensional pattern. They use SketchUp to create their shape and perform measurements on their shapes.

Sixth graders explore mathematics by participating in a SMART Board activity. In this exponents lesson plan, 6th graders identify the different exponential powers of a number and discuss how the power of the number accumulates. Students...

Students use the Pythagorean formula to find the length of a line. Afterward, they explore the midpoint formula to determine the midpoint of a line with a non-zero slope on a coordinate plane. Students complete assigned problems and...

Second graders create a story and role-play the story using edible items to create a final story-video project. In this edible story instructional activity, 2nd graders write their own stories using literary format and elements. Students...

Students explore the concept of stem and leaf plots.  In this stem and leaf plots lesson, students plot the 50 US states' capitals on a stem and leaf plot according to the first letter of each state.  Students compare...

Students create a search and rescue party. In this geometry lesson, students simulate a rescue operation using math. They calculate the time, rate and solve word problems related to the real world.

Students investigate the different materials in their environment.  In this geology lesson, students collaborate in groups to examine the differences in sand, soil and gravel.  Students utilize a magnifying glass or microscope...
