Sixth graders apply problem solving strategies to work with a real life situation in which they need to determine the area. They determine the area of chicken runs that are rectangular in shape when give a partial perimeter.

Sixth graders apply knowledge of how to calculate the area and perimeter of triangles. They determine why it is inappropriate to measure the area of land by its perimeter which is done in certain areas of New Guinea. They complete a...

Middle schoolers distinguish between possible and impossible graphs of functions, and to learn why some graphs are impossible. They have practiced plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane

Students develop the concept of supply and demand. In this economics lesson, students listen to a lecture and take notes on supply and demand. Students create a coherent set of notes about supply and demand.

Students explore the concept of running a business. In this running a business instructional activity, students put their plan of action into practice. Students market a product and try to maximize profit.

Learners work with dominoes to recognize the number of spots on each side as they relate to addition facts. In this seeing doubles lesson, students make triangle shaped flash cards for the double facts. Learners represent the correct...

This unit is about making calculations in the real life situations of taxis, hire cars, and cell phones. They find and justify a word formula which represents a given practical situation. Solve simple linear equations such as 2? + 4 = 16.

Students determine velocity using the slope of a time distance graph. They investigate a motion cart using a CBR unit and a TI 83 calculator setup. Using the graph generated, they calculate velocity.

Students research aspects of gardening including nutrition, costs, and soil preparation. They then write a report detailing the planning of the garden and compare costs to buying the items.

Students complete a word problem to determine the cost of gasoline per mile of their virtual field trip. They determine the travel time and gasoline costs for two routes and record the information on a data sheet. They check their work...

Students research propulsion, graph data, and interpret the results.

Imaginary numbers are a real thing. Scholars learn about complex numbers, real numbers, and imaginary numbers. They classify given numbers as strictly complex, strictly real, or strictly imaginary in an individual or group activity.

Experiment with mass and density as scholars figure out what makes things float or sink. First, they watch a podcast introducing these concepts. Be sure to use the comprehension question to test their understanding. Young scientists...

Students practice plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane while participating in a discussion about the Possible Or Not worksheet/activity. Students also use the Impossible Graphs worksheet to practice reading a graph,...

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

Learners construct spreadsheets from raw data. In this spreadsheet construction lesson, students compile data into Microsoft Excel. Learners familiarize themselves with entering and presenting data in a spreadsheet.

Second graders use a number line to practice subtraction.  For this subtraction lesson, 2nd graders use a number line to count backwards.  Students participate in mad math activities and solve problems.

Third graders use number sense and appropriate problem solving techniques to solve the assigned problems. They write out the solutions to the assigned problems. They work in groups to solve the problem before reporting back to the whole...

Lesson 3 of 4 for Passport to Advanced Math. Students will solve systems of equations in two variables in which one equation is linear and the other equation is quadratic or another nonlinear equation; relate properties of the function f...

The purpose of this lesson plan is to help students apply math concepts of solving systems of equations to real life situations. The students will use the three methods of graphing, substitution, and elimination to solve the system of...

During this lesson plan, students will solve systems of equations graphically. Students will graph various equations individually using graphing paper. They will work with a partner to solve several system of equation problems and then...

Students are required to solve a system of equations in this task which will demonstrate their understanding of the correspondence between intersection points of the two graphs and solutions of the system. Aligns with A-REI.C.7.

Students will learn how a system of equations can be used to find the best use of information to make decisions in real-world situations.Students will work in groups of 3s or 4s to develop a system for the best buy on tickets at a water...
