Students solve problems dealing with percents using "is over of" algorithm.

Students determine that two figures are similar or congruent by investigating figures that are similar and figures that are congruent. They prove that two figures are similar or congruent by using definitions, postulates, and theorems.

Student are assigned one of the sections on whole numbers. After reviewing the content, they teach their assigned sections to other class mates. They publish their findings on a PowerPoint slide show to use when they teach their section.

Sixth graders apply the division and multiplication of decimals to convert dollars to various international currencies. In a travel simulation activity, they convert money, distance, and temperatures. During their "trip," students...

In this gas stoichiometry worksheet, high schoolers use the ideal gas law and balanced chemical equations to solve for unknown values such as volume and mass of gases.

Seventh graders create a video of different formats to deliver a presentation of a math concept such as square roots, decimals, fractions, and more. In this math presentation lesson plan, 7th graders can plan a rap video, story,...
