Students work together to build models of prairie plants. Using the model, they estimate the height and then measure them using metric and standard units. They write a fraction to represent their part of the whole set and compare and...

Learners explore data that be modeled by a logistic function. They have the opportunity to study real-life data and create a mathematical function to model the data and make a prediction.

This math packet provides an opportunity for learners to graph two linear equations on a coordinate grid and determine the slope and y-intercept of each. They use the equation of five lines to find the slope and y-intercepts, and then...

Students practice comparing and ordering fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals. In this fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals activity, students examine a decimal place value chart compared to a whole number place value chart. They...

With algebra tiles in hand 7th graders will uncover the wonders of the distributive property of multiplication. They will take a pre-test, define the distributive property, then model and practice using their tiles to solve basic...

Give classes confidence in completing the square with a resource that develops the process of completing the square of more complex problems, including fractions and values greater than one. It then uses quadratic modeling for...

Help learners solve problems using multiplication and repeated addition. Using counters, learners will be paired up to solve problems. They will go through a series of questions and show models with the counters for the solution. Then...

Students listen to parent speakers who discuss how they use math in their professional or personal lives. They take notes and write business form thank you letters.

Here is a geometry lessonwhich invites learners to create models using their knowledge of lines, segments, rays, and angles. This lesson reinforces geometric vocabulary and concepts through practical application, it also includes...

Young mathematicians construct their own understanding of integers with an inquiry-based math instructional activity. Using colored chips to represent positive and negative numbers, children model a series of addition and...

Math wizards practice adding fractions with unlike denominators on this simple matching activity. Presented with ten addition expressions, children must calculate the sum of each and match them to the correct...

This un-scaffold summative assessment tasks learners to use the height of a bouncing basketball, given the data in graph and table form, to choose the model that is represented. Learners then use the model to answer questions about...

This highly scaffolded, summative assessment tasks learners to choose the model that represents the height of a bouncing basketball given the data in graph and table form. Learners then use the model to answer questions about the...

Learn about polymers while playing with shrinky dinks. Young scholars create a shrinky dink design, bake it, and then record the area, volume, and thickness over time. They model the data using a graph and highlight the key features of...

Students discuss the benefits of the International Space Station. They evaluate the challenges the designers faced when trying to design the space station. Students discuss the use of scale models when designing large structures and...

Fourth graders engage in a lesson that is about the concept of rounding decimals. They review place value and focus it upon the practice of rounding. Students use 10 base decimal grids or models to help make connections with the skill.

Create ratios using the boys and girls in the class. The first activity in a 29-part series introduces ratios. Pupils learn to create ratios, write them, and model them with tape diagrams. Class members realize that there are different...
