Estimate the value of one of the most famous irrational numbers. The hands-on lesson instructs classmates to measure the circumference and diameters of circles using yarn. The ratio of these quantities defines pi.

Need a less abstract approach to introducing extraneous solutions? This is it! Young mathematicians explore properties used to solve equations and determine which operations maintain the same solutions. They...

Learners compute minimum velocity, using square roots.

Third graders have an opportunity to show mastery of square dance skills by calling a square dance of their own in a non-threatening environment. Conclude the lesson by reviewing some of the calls that were done, especially ones that...

Fourth graders find the area and perimeters of squares and rectangles using a calculator to check their multiplication. They use the appropriate formulas to find the area and perimeter of the given geometric shapes.

Students perform mathematical operations on complex numbers. After a lecture/demo, students utilize a worksheet imbedded in this plan to gain practice performing operations on complex numbers.

Students randomly select dimensions for three geometric shapes (square, right triangle and circle). From the graphs they compare and contrast the graphical results of each shape.

Pupils review shapes and numbers orally using a set of flash cards. They trace each shape following the arrows and then write the name and orally identify the shape and its name.

Third graders, in pairs, use a bag of counters which can be dried beans, squares of papers, etc.

Young scholars model how satellites transmit data by using numbers not images.

Learners explore the concept of measurement.  In this measurement lesson, students collect data about themselves such as height, finger length, neck circumference, foot length, and other body measurements.  Learners cut squares...

Students, referring to the alphabet and numbers, practice stating, reading and writing letters and numbers. As they write each letter and number they say each one as well. They find examples of each one in a newspaper or magazine ad.
