Learners explore the concept of factoring trinomials.  In this factoring trinomials lesson, pupils use the Mack Method to factor trinomials.  Learners watch a video on how to factor a trinomial with a coefficient of 1 with the...

Students define accuracy and precision, and differentiate between the two terms, apply the concepts of accuracy and precision to a given situation and correctly apply the concept of significant figures to measurement and mathematical...

Students explore the Mandelbrot Set. They are introduced to the concept of a complex number and function in order to motivate the discussion of Julia and Mandelbrot sets. Students investigate fractals and how they are built.

Students complete worksheets on equality in math and create their own. They further investigate equality in the world around them.

Eighth graders follow the teacher as they enter information into the graphing calculator. They investigate different graphs to explain the slope of a line, the y intercept, and parallel lines.

Fourth graders investigate repeating and growing patterns. Models, graphs and words are used to describe, extend and represent patterns. Students use evidence from models and graphs to support the identification of patterns.

Students explore the concept of functions. In this function lesson, students determine if the graph is a function by using the vertical line test. Students use an applet to explore the vertical line test on a variety of graphs.

Students examine how driving a hybrid car can save money and cut down on pollution.  In this hybrid vehicles instructional activity students complete an exercise that shows them how to work with proportions, percents, dimensional...

Students use shapes and manipulatives to demonstrate patterns. In this patterns lesson plan, students also break up patterns to identify a pattern unit.

Fifth graders discuss the relationship between equivalent fractions, ratios, and proportions. In this fraction lesson plan, 5th graders answer questions about a punch mixture in order to find the ratio of ingredients.

Seventh graders follow a step-by-step guide for using graphing calculator to determine equations which best fit data graphed. They gather data from various sites on the web, or they do searches to find information necessary to complete...

Middle schoolers create and give oral proposals for the construction of a gazebo using a blueprint created with Geometer's Sketchpad. They then build a gazebo model using the blueprints created and provide evidence why it should be...

Learners analyze velocity and how it is determined. They experiment with velocity in order to measure and calculate the magnitude of speed. They use examples in their novel "Skateboard Renegade" to relate velocity to real life situations.

Students use a NASA website to use a given formula to find acceleration and distance after a specific time and how it relates to engine propulsion.

First graders investigate the Commutative Property of Addition. It is introduced using models such as students, counters, balances and dominoes. They discover the order of the numbers in an addition sentence does not change the result...

Students discover the linear relationship between degrees Farenheit and degrees Celsius. They manually compute the slope and y-intercept of the line passing through points. They convert Celsius to Fahrenheit degrees.

Students use concrete and pictorial representation of geometric patterns to extend patterns. In this geometric patterns lesson plan, students identify patterns and extend them.

Students participate in activities the connect measurement to geometry, statistics, estimation, and the real world. They collect measurements from their elbow to the tip of their middle finger and make a box plot of the data as well as...

Students investigate how to perform the operation of division with polynomials. The lesson begins with a warm up that has them factor a set of polynomials and then problems using factoring for division are introduced as guided practice.

Students observe a demonstration of regular soda versus diet soda.  In this exploring density instructional activity students complete a lab on density and present a PowerPoint presentations of their results.

Students, after reading an explanation from a NASA Web-based textbook, demonstrate an understanding of the text by applying it to the calculations involving the motion of an airplane.

Learners, after reading an explanation from a NASA Web-based textbook, demonstrate an understanding of the text by applying it to the calculations involving the motion of an airplane.

Students examine and discuss typical linear equations, and the difference between a linear and nonlinear equation. They observe examples of linear equations and complete a worksheet.

Young scholars consider an individual habit and its cost. They study ratios and proportions, and use that knowledge to calculate the cost of a habit over extended periods of time. write a detailed comparison of the costs.
