Make probability fun and test your learners' knowledge of math probability vocabulary. Print out this crossword puzzle and see if they know enough about outcomes and experiments to fill in the blanks. The answer key is attached in...

Solids come in many shapes and sizes. Using geometry, scholars create two-dimensional cross-sections of various three-dimensional objects. They develop the lesson further by finding the volume of solids. The module then shifts...

Build a connection between algebraic sequences and spreadsheets. Learners examine a specific folding pattern and convert the pattern into a spreadsheet. The goal of the spreadsheet is to produce a sequence of a specific pattern modeled...

Develop young mathematicians' ability to compare fractions with investigation into the number 1/2. After brainstorming a list of fractions equivalent to 1/2, children identify a pattern in the numerators and...

Find the pattern is the name of the game! Learners examine different patterns represented by numbers, shapes, and words. They must describe the pattern, predict the result in a given position, and find an equation that...

The shortest distance from point A to point B is a straight line—or is it? Young scholars determine the shortest route either along a circular path or through the center of the circle. Learners gain a unique perspective on arc length and...

What better way to learn about fractions than with a couple pizzas? Help Jessica figure out how much of the pizza she has eaten, while teaching your class that fractions refer to a specific whole amount. This problem will be challenging...

Data distributions can be compared in terms of center, variability, and shape. Two exploratory challenges present data in two different displays to compare. The displays of histograms and box plots require different comparisons based...

Facilitate an understanding of equality using a modeling task. After watching different-sized cups being stacked, learners use their math skills to determine when the height of each cup tower will be the same. Meant as an introduction to...

Graphing doesn't need to be tedious!  When pupils understand key features and transformations, graphing becomes efficient. This instructional activity connects transformations to the vertex form of a quadratic equation. 

Do ratios have values? The seventh lesson in a series of 29 introduces the value of a ratio. Pupils create associated ratios to a given ratio. They also describe the fraction associated to the ratio as the value of the ratio.

What do Sherlock Holmes and geometry have in common? Why, it is a matter of deductive reasoning as the class learns how to justify each step of a problem. Pupils then present a known fact to ensure that their decision is correct.

Profit always seems to get everyone's attention. The same is true during a instructional activity on estimation. Learners use given information to estimate the cost of supplies for a painting job. They then develop a strategy for...

Gain a little interest in functions with a real-life task. Young scholars analyze home loan data with a geometric sequence and series. They use the models to make predictions about the total loan payments at certain intervals in a...

Take a look at data from a statistical lens. An interactive allows pupils to enter data set, labeling the data including the units used. Manipulating the applet, learners select the statistics to calculate that include total, mean,...

Lets keep the system working and show learners the three ways to solve linear systems of equations. Each method includes step-by-step instructions to work their way through the problem. The same problem is used for each method to show...

Games and activities are wonderful for igniting interest in nearly any topic. With a pair of dice, your class will practice their basic math and social skills at the same time. Learners battle it out to see who can roll only odds or only...

Through four steps, three different time values for a 100-meter run are arranged on a number line in order to practice ordering decimal numbers. The price of two sports drinks are also compared. All of this comes in narrated and animated...

Students identify the relationship between angles and arcs. In this geometry instructional activity, students rotate and move the circle around to create different arcs on the TI-Navigator. They differentiate between major and minor arcs.

Students compare a variety of people counters to determine how they're alike and different and then sort, classify and write about how they sort and classify people counters.

Students build their math skills outdoors. In this early childhood math lesson, students use comparative language as they chart and graph the items on their playground.

How do you identify the domain and range of the function? As learners find out it's as easy as creating a graph. They'll identify the domain and range of a relation from its graph, write symbolic expressions describing the relationship...

Your class will grasp the concept of domain-and range on a graph by using their TI navigator to graph their lines. They observe the effect of a function and non-functions based on the domain and range.

In this rational expressions worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 15 different problems that include adding and subtracting rational expressions. First, they define Least Common Multiple to get a common denominator in an equation....
