Students identify properties of parallelograms. In this geometry lesson plan, students label polygons as parallelogram or not. They define and label the properties of a kite.

Students define properties of rectangular prisms. In this geometry activity, students identify the relationship between two and three dimensional objects. They use Cabri technology to graph their figures.

Pupils solve exponential functions. In this algebra lesson, students identify the properties of logarithmic and exponential functions. They graph their functions and solve using change of base formula.

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

Students are introduced to zoning. Evaluating information and reading a land-use map is enclosed in this lesson. List new development projects that they could propose for a given area.

Sixth graders use a number line to solve addition and subtraction problems. In groups, they play a game of "Human Number Line Relay." They use a deck of cards to randomly create addition and subtraction equations and physically walk a...

In this properties of trigonometric functions worksheet, students complete 4 sections consisting of 15 problems involving problem solving using Pythagorean and trigonometric identities and sketching functions..

Young mathematicians explore quadratics equations in this lesson plan. They investigate the relationship between the standard form and factored form of quadratic equations. Learners then examine the relationship between the factoring...

Students define functions to be graphed using the Y=key. They demonstrate how to set up a standard viewing screen using Zoom 6. They discuss and explore mathematical questions on a worksheet.

Learners explore statistics by completing a graphing activity. In this data analysis lesson, students define a list of mathematical vocabulary terms before unpacking a box of raisins. Learners utilize the raisins to plot data on a line...

Students explore the properties of light. For this light lesson, students investigate visible light by viewing a website, examining an electromagnetic spectrum chart, and observing light demonstrations. Students write about their...

Learners analyze plotted data in this statistics instructional activity. They differentiate between skewed and normal data. They also explore and interconnect exponential growth and decay as it relates to the data.

Twelfth graders assess their knowledge of trig functions and their properties. In this calculus lesson plan, 12th graders take a test on derivatives, trig functions, and the quotient rule. There are 2 different versions of the same test...

Learners investigate the organic acids present in a variety of juices. In this organic acids lesson plan, students read about the effects of organic acids in juices. They use paper chromatography to separate out the acids present in a...

Students practice mental addition and use the associative and commutative properties of addition to solve problems.

High schoolers explore the basic building blocks of our planet.  In this minerals lesson pupils begin the process of forensics on the basis of investigation and drawing conclusions from observations. 

Students investigate the ties that architecture and math have in common. They focus on works of architecture in the world that is considered of great significance. Students use the internet to find building images from around the world....

Students define the purpose of several different types of boats. They develop a list of materials one would ideally use in the construction of a particular type of boat. Students work cooperatively in a group to decide what type of boat...

Can they put it all together? Ninth graders apply what they know about proofs and triangle congruence to complete these proofs. These proofs go beyond the basic triangle congruence proofs and use various properties, theorems, and...

Third graders are challenged to use scientific thinking, they experiment and observe which objects are attracted to a magnet. Pupils use the evidence to construct an explanation as to what common property the objects attracted to a...

Use this activity on cross-sections of three-dimensional shapes in your math class to work on algebra or geometry Common Core standards. The lesson includes a list of relevent terminology, and a step-by-step process to illustrate the...

Young geometers investigate and apply properties of quadrilaterals.  After a review and discussion of key terms, students use a computer applet to explore four-sided figures and classify them according to their attributes. The...

Learn the ins and outs of matrix multiplication. After discovering the commutative property does not apply to matrix multiplication in a previous lesson plan in the series, pupils now test the associative and distributive properties. The...

By using circles that they cut out and label themselves, learners literally "get a grip" on the angles they identify: supplementary, complementary, and vertical. They solve missing measurements based on properties of supplementary,...
