Everything you could possibly want to know about quadratic equations, all in one resource. Instructors demonstrate how to translate between different forms of quadratics (equation, table of values, graph, verbal description) and finding...

Nothing fancy here ... just your run-of-the-mill Algebra party! Learners explore the patterns of linear functions while designing seating arrangements for a dinner party. Comparing the number of tables to the perimeter of the combined...

Young writers design and publish a newsletter with articles that demonstrate knowledge of mathematical concepts. They explain mathematical procedures and basic operations in a news article format. Next, they compile several articles to...

Math scholars study conics and how they are used today. In this mathematical lesson, pupils construct and slice cones after viewing a demonstration. 

Lift—it is about the wing's attack. Using a virtual wind tunnel, pupils investigate wing shape and angle of attack. Learners use worksheets to record their observations and to convert verbal relationships into mathematical equations in...

Demonstrate linear and quadratic functions through contextual modeling. Young mathematicians explore both types of functions by analyzing their key features. They then relate these key features to the contextual relationship the function...

Count up or down to find sums. The third instructional activity in a 25-part series uses number lines to build an understanding of the sums of integers. Pupils make the connection between the distance and direction of a sum from the...

Students write verbal expressions into algebraic expressions and solve the expressions. They determine who wins a race by determining the algebraic expression.

Third graders analyze mathematical word problems and interpret the words into mathematical equations. Individuals demonstrate their knowledge of the order of operations both verbally and through written expression.

Scholars are introduced to the usage of the Order of Operations. They explore the use of variables and how they are represented by any letter of the alphabet. They then engage in discussion for verbal assessment.

Third graders demonstrate models to represent a 3 digit counting number. They use manipulative materials to represent place value in whole numbers. Students represent numbers in expanded notation.

Students are read a book and discuss what is meant by different fractions. Using the internet, they practice converting fractions into decimals. In groups, they create their own line fraction after watching a demonstration by the teacher.

Young scholars participate in various motor skill activities while counting to 100. These activities are designed to go with the 100th day of school. They will complete various tasks such as jumping rope, tossing, running, and catching...

Pupils use blocks and markers to illustrate the processes of adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing integers. In this mathematics activity, learners use Algebra blocks to demonstrate multiplying polynomials.

Students participate in a lesson that covers the concepts of solving equations and inequalities. To master the concept they must demonstrate visually and verbally how both sides of an equation must be balanced. They construct a balanced...

Second graders utilize manipulatives (pentominoes) to demonstrate knowledge of: lines of symmetry, slides, reflections (flips), rotations (turns), area, and perimeter. This activity gives students a meaningful way to practice these...

Learners find the mean, median, and mode for a set of data. They define terms and find examples, as well as complete practice exercises. They work cooperatively to analyze real data from a variety of websites provided. To...

Students view Elmer Holtzrichter's work Mystery Planet and discuss basic shapes and patterns. They create their own collage. and discuss the patterning they created. Students demonstrate how this pattern would sound with clapping and...

Can your mathematicians come up with an easy way to convert miles to kilometers? Start by asking learners to write an algebraic expression for each of the descriptions given. Once they determine that they are both the same, ask...

Does Newton's Law of Cooling have anything to do with apples? Scholars apply Newton's Law of Cooling to solve problems in the 29th installment of a 35-part module. Now that they have knowledge of logarithms, they can determine the decay...

First graders listen to the story, Olivia Counts, and demonstrate counting to ten. They make predictions, and recognize the day and night sky. They add page number 2 to their counting books.

Young scholars study patterns. They construct growing patterns using pattern blocks and isosceles right triangles. They verbally describe the patterns and state the rule that describes the relationship involving the number of pattern...

Students create graphic, algebraic and verbal ideas of functions. In this algebra lesson, students graph functions and identify the zeros of the functions. They find the domain and range and classify functions as relation or not.

Students use manipulatives to explore the notation of addition and gain experience with independent practice. They demonstrate their knowledge by performing the operation on the board with magnets, on their own felt work mat then on...
