Is the circumference of a circle always, sometimes, or never rational? Learners answer questions individually and also work in groups to look at sums and products of rational and irrational numbers. They must also be able to use the...

Seventh grade statisticians randomly select five states and then determine the mean area. The class then works together to create a dot plot of their results. 

Youngsters explore number patterns within a Hundreds Chart. They discover six specific patterns from six teacher-directed rules in cooperative groups and describe in words ONE of the three patterns in their Learning Logs. They prove for...

Students factor polynomial functions. In this algebra lesson, students solve problems through factoring and distribution of the negative sign correctly.

Students analyze a drawing of a regular octagon inscribed in a circle to determine angle measures, using knowledge of properties of regular polygons and the sums of angles in various polygons to help solve the problem. They use...

Young scholars discuss the following topics of Calculus: The Tangent Line Problem, The Area Problem, and Exercises. They find limits graphically and numerically. Students write a mathematical autobiography, they write their earliest...

Eighth graders, after researching the properties of graphs of conic sections, absolute value and inverse relations, make a drawing of precise functions and relations from a specified list of equations. The final design should analyze the...

Students develop an understanding of the concept of matter. They l participate actively in the bubble raft experiment as described on the Center for Thermal Spray Research's website. They demonstrate dislocations and grain...

Fifth graders explore geometric building blocks in the real world in order to describe the characteristics and relationships of points, lines, line segments, rays, and planes. This is the first lesson plan in a series of lessons in...

Students examine fabric. In this Applied Science lesson, students look at the fibers of fabric through a microscope. Students compare and contrast a variety of fibers.

Twelfth graders analyze the derivatives and use trig functions to practice using the derivative. In this calculus lesson, 12th graders derive the 6 trigonometric functions using the derivative and their properties. They complete practice...

Eighth graders engage in a lesson that is concerned with the properties associated with 8th grade Algebra. They solve problems using a variety of contexts and participate in using real world problems to create context. Students...

Students study the commutative and associative properties. In this multiplication lesson, students review the properties and solve several multiplication problems.

Students explore the concept of the associative, commutative, and distributive properties. In the associative, commutative, and distributive properties lesson, students discuss real world examples of each property. Students demonstrate...

Fourth graders practice multiplication and division with cooking recipes. In this math lesson, 4th graders look at a recipe and change it so that it works for twice as many people or half as many people. 

Students discuss and experiment with the phases of water.  In this phases of matter lesson plan, students recognize the different states of matter.  Students measure and record changes and understand when the state changes.

Students solve inequalities and systems of equations. For this algebra lesson, students use substitution and elimination as they solve algebraic systems. They use graphing and a table to support their solutions.

Students study the vocabulary of the states of matter. In this states of matter vocabulary lesson, students investigate and study the meaning of the words solid, liquid, and gas. They experience demonstration lessons that give them...

Students investigate and apply properties of math. For this algebra and physics lesson, students define important vocabulary words to create a basic understanding of keywords. They perform experiments using concepts of electricity and math.

Students compare and discuss characteristics and properties of 2- and 3-dimensional shapes. They construct 3-dimensional paper star figures, imaginatively customizing them with art tools and craft materials. Students analyze their...

In this fraction lesson, students manipulate paper by folding it to create different shapes and sizes, they explore the concept of fractions, and discuss their observations as a class. This is a great lesson for getting students...

Is it possible to solve quadratic equations by factoring? It is, and your class will graph quadratic equation and functions too. They perform transformation on their graphs showing increasing and decreasing intervals, domain, and range....

Learners explore the concept of number theory. They discuss an assortment of number theory topics such as prime numbers, composite numbers, GCF, modular arithmetic, and others in a lecture style discussion. Pupils view videos about these...

Just one step is all you need to find success in solving equations. The 27th installment in a series of 36 teaches how to solve one-step equations involving addition and subtraction. Tape diagrams help future mathematicians in this task.
