Many phenomena in life are periodic in nature. A task-based lesson asks scholars to explore one of these phenomena. They collect data showing the sunrise time of a specific location over the period of a year. Using the data, they create...

Let's finish a functional review. Pupils work through 31 items to review the concepts learned in Unit 8. Scholars determine whether a mapping is a function and identify the domain and range. Using function notation, individuals then...

Do some interpretive modeling. Class members watch three examples of interpreting key features of a graph of a quadratic to find solutions to a real-world problem. Learners review how to find the key features on a graph using technology...

In this rounding learning exercise, students solve six problem sets concerned with rounding and estimating.  Students first estimate what the answer should be and then carry out the calculations using a calculator.  Solutions...

In this skip count worksheet, students use a calculator to help them skip count starting with the given time and finishing 60 minutes later.

Seventh graders simulate probability experiments. Using a graphing calculator, 7th graders design, conduct, and draw conclusions from simulations or probability experiments. Students construct frequency tables and compare the...

By splitting rectangles into four equal parts, scholars practice calculating area and determining side length. They begin by determining the area of each rectangle before segmenting it. Then, they use the space provided to split it into...

In this graphing calculator activity, learners explore necessary steps to multiply and divide mixed numbers using a graphing calculator. In groups, students measure objects in their classroom and write equations using their collected...

Explore the concept of multiplication by using arrays. Classmates use arrays to gain a better understanding of multiplication. They break arrays apart to model the distributive property of multiplication over addition. The relationship...

Students investigate the four basic operations of mathematics that are addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The use of a technology game is part of the lesson plan. They demonstrate the proper use of a calculator as part...

Young scholars discuss strategies for estimating information about various shapes. Once they draw and label four shapes with perimeters of 30 units, they calculate the areas of the figures. To complete the lesson, students offer written...

Students calculate the square root of a given number using carpenter's square measurements. In this math lesson, students relate this method on the Pythagorean theorem. They answer practice problems after the exploration activity,

In this time intervals learning exercise, students look at and calculate time intervals. Students are given ten problems with two times. Students are to determine how much time has elapsed between the two times.

Start a class discussion around problem solving. This super short, simple presentation, tells children that their calculator is broken, then asks them to solve a single subtraction problem. They solve the problem and discuss the...

There is only one area calculation problem here, and the explanation is detailed below; consider projecting this as an all-class warm up. Scholars assess a rectangle with given length and width, calculating its area. Next, they break it...

Students use the computer and S'COOL data for statistical analysis.

Young scholars work with circles, angles and estimating angles in the night sky. In this circles and angles lesson, students practice measuring a degree using the circumference of a circle and apply the degree to determine a way to use...

Here is a quiz which does not allow calculators. Kids solve a variety of problems that range from addition and subtraction of decimal numbers to probability and perimeter. There are 24 problems to solve. As stated on the resource, this...

For this percentages worksheet, students use a calculator to find the original number in reverse percentages problems. Students complete 7 problems total.

In this temperature conversion worksheet, students use the formulas of converting Celsius to Fahrenheit and Fahrenheit to Celsius to calculate the temperature in given problems.

Using M & M's candies, young statisticians predict the color distribution in a packet of candies and test their predictions against their group and the larger class. A review of converting between fractions, decimals, and percents...

Students demonstrate some common operations done while using fractions based upon mathematical standards. They are also changing common fractions to decimals with estimation skills and the use of a calculator.

In this modeling data learning exercise, students use quadratic functions to model data using three different methods.  This learning exercise provides explanations and an example.  Additionally, students are given the steps to...

Eighth and ninth graders combine pairs of linear equations by multiplying and either adding or subtracting. They find the value of x in the pair of equations. They use substitution to find the value of y. Students use graphing to solve...
