Nothing fancy here ... just your run-of-the-mill Algebra party! Learners explore the patterns of linear functions while designing seating arrangements for a dinner party. Comparing the number of tables to the perimeter of the combined...

Fourth graders use the concept of number patterns to complete a portion of Pascal's Triangle as well as identify and describe the patterns represented.

Students create a glossary of geometric terms while exploring tangram manipulatives.

Learners explore the making of circles and concepts related to them in geometry. The project is inquiry based will focus upon students making their own nametags. The construction is ideal for hands on learners.

High schoolers investigate harmonic conjugates using Cabri Software or the Ti Calculator to analyze harmonics. They explore different angles measurements as they move their circles around and solve problems.

Eighth graders investigate properties of circles.  In this eight grade mathematics lesson, 8th graders apply proportional reasoning to data gathered with “Google Earth” to calculate equatorial and polar circumference of the...

Young scholars, after reviewing the measuring of the lengths of sides of different shapes along with the calculation of their perimeters and areas, encounter what it means by the 'perimeter' of a polygon. They practice measuring units of...

Learners identify the ratios of trig functions. In this trigonometry activity, students construct triangles and use it to derive the values of sine, cosine and tangent. They use Cabri software to create the visual of the identities.

Students use the secant and secant segment theorem to solve problems. For this calculus lesson, students identify where the secant line crosses on a circle. They create circles and secants using cabri software.

Fourth graders examine about traditional quilting patterns, the symmetry in such patterns, and practice creating patterns of their own. They design a quilting pattern, and groups make colorful "patches," of a pattern. They assemble the...

Students differentiate between ellipse and hyperbola. In this algebra instructional activity, students graph and solve elliptical equations. They use the cabri program to create the different conics and move them around.

Students perform operation with secant and tangent lines. In this calculus lesson plan, students find the derivative and relate it to the slope of a line. They differentiate between secant and tangent as they intersect a circle, using...

Students calculate the slope of parallel and perpendicular lines.In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between parallel and perpendicular lines. They graph their lines using the slope of the equation.

Seventh graders work together to develop a health-related experiment to display at the school health fair. Using the human body systems, they use the Internet to research a health problem through a controlled experiment. They are...

Learners complete worksheets where they calculate the perimeter of polygons. In this perimeter of polygons lesson plan, students divide complex shapes into simple shapes to find the perimeter.

Students create a spreadsheet that calculate the amount of concrete needed to pour various concrete forms.

In this angle instructional activity, students answer forty mental math questions divided into four problem sets.  These problems require students to remember angle facts and so simple calculations mentally.

Students develop locomotor movements. In this dance movement lesson, students identify lines and develop creativity while performing to "Cha Cha Slide". Students discuss how to create dances and difficulty of movements. 

Research patterns in nature which illustrate biological and mathematical concepts. Your class will discover and explore aspects of fractals, Fibonaccis numbers, whale and butterfly migration patterns, whale identification, flower...

Young geometers use the interactive website Cyberchase to practice calculating both area and perimeter. Real world problems encourage learners to discover that we use math each and every day. 

Students identify various geometric shapes. Apply the given formulas to determine the volume of these shapes. Design their own container to conform to specifications provided. Use their knowledge of volume formulas and shapes to compute...

Redecorate a classroom on a budget. Middle schoolers rebuild a classroom after a disaster. They conduct Internet research to determine construction supplies needed and the most cost effective way to reach the predetermined results. They...

It's probably a good idea to use the unit. Young mathematicians learn about conditional probability using Venn diagrams, tree diagrams, and two-way tables. They also take into consideration independence and the addition rules.

Students examine stained glass art techniques in this introductory instructional activity provided by Oregon Public Broadcasting. The unit emphasizes student created representations of stained glass art.
