Pupils practice measurement and geography in this lesson. They build a Lego vehicle using an RCX. They predict how many seconds it will take their vehicle to reach a specific state on the United States of America map that each group of...

Ninth graders access a star worksheet and determine properties of polygons.  In this investigative lesson students complete a worksheet and discuss myths. 

Learners explore the concept of geometric symmetry. In this geometric symmetry lesson plan, students walk around their school and take pictures of objects that demonstrate symmetry. Learners use Microsoft Paint to draw the lines of...

Students measure, construct, and classify angles as acute, right, straight, and obtuse. Once they have completed an angle worksheet, students use a map of South Carolina to locate cities by constructing the aforementioned angles.

Young scholars recognize methods used to define the mole. After converting various quantities to the mole, students provide a context for understanding the usefulness of scientific notation and the mole.

Students investigate geo-profiling.  In this secondary mathematics instructional activity, students use geo-profiling to determine the most probable location of a criminal.  Students find the centroid of a polygon where the...

High schoolers create an atomic model using a computer program. For this technology lesson, students identify the difference between radius and diameter. They create circular patterns and spheres based on certain specifications.

Middle schoolers examine historical methods of navigation. They discuss the techniques of "Dead Reckoning," "Heaving the Log," and "Chip Log," pretend to sail from Europe to North America using vectors and determine the location of...

Students examine and compare traits of humans and crocodiles.  In this crocodile lesson students use a ratio to estimate the height of a person and compare that to a crocodile. 

Middle schoolers practice estiminating and measuring angles. After watching a short video, they identify angles in objects in the classroom and their homes. In groups, they participate in activities in which they are given a scenerio...

Learners investigate properties of the unit circle using sine, cosine and tangent. They analyze the answers to questions about the unit circle based on a right triangle.
