Students explore stress and strength in engineering design. In this engineering lesson, students become familiar with terminology associated with stress and strain on building material. They will have a class discuss about how their beam...

Sixth graders determine how physical and biological agents and processes form and affect the soil. They analyze soil properties. Students evaluate ways in which human activities have affected the earth's pedosphere.

Introduce your young geometers to Hypatia, the first noted Greek female mathematician, and the properties of angles. Though this resource is missing worksheets that are needed to complete the lesson, the structure is sound and learning...

In this algebraic expression worksheet, pupils simplify algebraic expressions and solve proportions, and write equations from story problems. Thirteen of the 49 problems are fill in the blank, and the remainder are multiple choice.

Vectors and their connection to motion. A video will be presented to provide information for the class to use methods of solving vectors with and without grids. Real-world physical concepts will be explored in reference to vectors.

In this measurement lesson, learners examine the Pythagorean Theorem, perimeter, and areas of right triangles. They record their measurements and research their findings on a grid.

Students explore the concept of tessellations. In this tessellations instructional activity, students use an applet to construct tessellations. Students use regular polygons to construct tessellations. Students find patterns and symmetry...

First graders investigate the concept of surface area and find the coverage for the surfaces in a building that includes carpet or walls. The application of finding the area is practical using the everyday objects to help them to make...

Learners add and multiply matrices. They explore the dimensions of products of a matrix. After observing problems on the overhead, students solve their own matrix problems. They list and define the properties of matrix multiplication.

Students view a video to discover how patterns in nature relate to math. They explore the concept of exponential growth by observing and creating fractals. They solve and design word problems.

Young scholars discuss methods to solve equations and inequalities with one variable. As a review, they write Addition and Subtraction properties of equality and Multiplication and Division properties of equality. Students graph points,...
