Learners analyze data using bar graphs and the TI in this statistics lesson. They investigate quick polls and graph the data using different properties of statistics. This assignment requires a TI Navigator.

Second graders use manipulatives, drawings, and story problems to learn the two's multiplication tables. After learning how to find answers, they participate in a memory game to match facts and answers.

Fourth graders decorate and use popsicle sticks as manipulatives to assist with their learning of probability. They utilize a worksheet imbedded in this plan to organize the results of their experiment. They make a stem and leaf plot...

Fifth graders examine how to make tessellations. In this tessellation lesson, 5th graders review the meaning of the word "polygon" while the teacher shows them various examples. They practice making tiling patterns or tessellation's with...

Students explain why a transiting planet causes a periodic dimming in the light from its parent star. They determine the radius of a planet, and its orbital distance, by analyzing data and manipulating equations. Students compare the...

Seventh graders use their knowledge of multiplication and problem solving to determine the total weight of multiple objects. In this multiplication instructional activity, 7th graders weigh various manipulatives, record the weight, and...

Third graders construct tangrams. In this tangrams lesson, 3rd graders manipulate basic shapes to construct tangrams. Students explore how shapes can be combined in different ways and develop spatial sense.

Students apply properties of right triangles to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students identify axioms and theorems using examples.

Young scholars create "fact families" using digital pictures of their classmates and knowledge of basic math concepts (subtraction and addition) in this technology-based math lesson plan intended for use in the early-elementary...

Students are exposed to a wide array of concrete representations to help develop a foundation for the higher abstract ideas associated with mathematical inquiry. In this lesson plan, students will work with manipulatives (beans) to...

Learners analyze objects by one or more attributes. In this sorting instructional activity, students use manipulatives and string or yarn to create a sorting game. Learners read books and items from the classroom to sort. 

Fifth graders engage in a variety of hands-on and technology-rich activities involving the classification of quadrilaterals. They utilize protractors and rulers to investigate the characteristics of various types of quadrilaterals. They...

First graders recognize and represent mathematical relationships using symbols and use number sentences with operational symbols to solve problems. They complete various activities such as tug of war, monkeys on a vine, and hit and miss....

Students investigate properties of parabolas. In this algebra lesson, students identify the different paths of a parabola. They use the navigator to make observations of the parabola.

Students use a software program to create artwork and to manipulate images to study mirror and rotational symmetry. They take pictures of items in their environment in which they identify symmetry.

Fourth graders use cut-outs of clothing to illustrate the numbers of combinations of articles of clothing they can create. Students create a tree-diagram and count the number of possibilities. They practice showing the information in...

Students use the scientific method to conduct an experiment to test how a ball bounces. For this inquiry-based physical science and scientific method lesson, students drop a ball from specified heights and record the rebound, then record...

Solve systems of equation using graphing! In this algebra lesson, high schoolers use the TI to graph two lines and identify the number of solutions. They perform interactive graphing on the navigator.

Students identify different parts of a triangle. In this geometry lesson plan, students differentiate between similar and congruent triangles. They use the navigator to crate a visual of the different parts of a triangle.

Here is a instructional activity that has learners take a look at corresponding parts of similar triangles, ratios of similarity, reductions and enlargements. They'll manipulate the scale factor (r) to observe the changes in similar...

Teach your mathematicians how to identify the properties of quadrilaterals. In this geometry lesson, students solve for missing angles and sides of a special quadrilateral. They use the TI to move the sides around and create different...

Students create three-dimension models demonstrating exponents, multiplying and dividing of fractions, and the use of repeating patterns in tessellations, mirror images, and tiling.

Third graders use items which come in sets to look for real-life multiples and write multiplication problems. This lesson assess the student's understanding of the meaning of multiplication using an array model and manipulatives.
