Do you have financial goals? How will you make them happen? Help your pupils answer these questions through this interactive project. They create goals and a plan for reaching them as one of many high school algebra projects.

Students evaluate various approaches to spending money.In this spending money literacy lesson, students broaden their financial goals by reading "Alexander Who Used to Be Rich Last Sunday" and "A Chair for My Mother."Students use a Venn...

Mathematics set notation can be represented through a computer program loop. Making the connection to a computer program loop helps pupils see the process that set notation describes. The activity allows for different types domain and...

Young scholars participate in activities that teach them how to manage money. In this managing money lesson plan, students set long and short term goals for economic success by having discussions, identifying benefits of saving, and...

Avoid the mines and win the game! Young scholars direct a robot through a minefield by plotting points. Their goal is to reach the target in as few moves as possible.

Learners explore the concept of Mandelbrot sets and Julia sets. For this Mandelbrot and Julia set lesson, students use a function integrator applet to investigate two-variable function iterations. Learners use Julia set and Mandelbrot...

Introduce your class to the lattice method as a way to multiply polynomials. This lesson plan is specifically aimed at getting students to use methods other than Algeblocks to solve polynomials.

As a continuation of a previous lesson, this activity builds on the concept of calculating the terms of a sequence. Pupils are challenged to determine the smallest starting term to reach a set number by a set number of rounds. Notation...

Factor polynomial functions that have two and three terms. Using Algeblocks, your class will create models to show their understanding of these concepts.

Have learners use math to prove they are sports stars! Assess a pupil's ability to create and analyze data using a variety of graphs. The class will be motivated by the association of math and basketball data.

Students create questions they would like to ask another class of Students, send the questions by email, examine results, and create slideshow illustrating results.

Seventh graders investigate some concepts associated with geometric shapes. They study the bisector segment and the perpendicular line to a given line. Students conduct analysis with the goal of deepening observation and deduction...

Money is always a great motivator. Give the class a set of statistics regarding yearly annual wages with the corresponding level of completed education. Even if they think college is silly, they'll consider it when they realize how much...

Students investigate the concepts of area and perimeter with the use of chocolate bars. They calculate the perimeter and area of different size rectangle chocolate bars and record the statistics. Then students make a visual comparison...

Students collect and sort rocks based on visible characteristics.  In this statistics lesson, students determine adequate sample size and categorize rocks based on characteristics.  The book Everybody Needs a Rock is read to...

Young scholars play a game based on "The Amazing Race" to practice using rates and fractions. In this fractions and rates lesson, students work in small groups competing to complete the tasks in the quickest time. At each stage of the...

Students make choices regarding money management. In this personal finance lesson, students explore budgets, incomes, and expenses as they learn vocabulary regarding personal finance and consider how to create personal budgets.

Students solve one step linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students manipulate their variables and numbers to answer each problem. They make sure the equations stay balanced at all times.

Students collect data and graph it on a coordinate plane and analyze it. In this statistics lesson, students display their data collection using a graph. They determine which central tendency will work best.

Students listen to a story involving Tangram pieces. Students use Tangram pieces to complete shapes using an outline of a design.

Fifth graders study reflectional symmetry and rotational symmetry. They go outside and explore symmetry in the environment. They come back inside and make symmetrical masks that represent their way of life.

Students plan and build a ramp designed for maximum distance a car can travel. In this physics and data collection math lesson, students work in groups to design a ramp using various household materials. Students test small cars on their...

Fourth graders create and solve sports-related word problems.

Aspiring astronauts graph, interpret, and analyze data. They investigate the relationship between two variables in a problem situation. Using both graphic and symbolic representations they will grasp the concept of line of best fit to...
