The truth is always best. Individuals continue to find values that make equations true in the 26th installment of the 36-part module. The only difference is that they now call them solutions to those equations.

Discover the extension of parametric equations to model linear transformations. Scholars first write parametric equations to model lines through two points. They then find the parametric equations that represent a linear transformation.

Students use paper cups and colored chips to observe properties of operations with real numbers. As a class, students brainstorm and use manipulatives to demonstrate associative, commutative, distributive identity and inverse properties....

What does completing the square have to do with circles? Math pupils use completing the square and other algebraic techniques to rewrite equations of circles in center-radius form. They then analyze equations of the form x^2 + y^2 + Ax +...

Students use important math vocabulary by creating an illustrated storybook. They become familiar with the mathematics terms they encounter on a standardized test and connect these words to the world around them.

Students build their own nation in groups where they create a name, flag, declaration of independence, form of government, mathematical layout, and more. In this nation lesson plan, students also provide a scale drawing of their nation...

Students examine how bank checks work and follow the "journey" of a written check. They discuss how transactional accounts work, identify and discuss the various parts of a check, and participate in a simulated business transaction...

Students explore the concept of writing numbers in expanded form. In this expansion lesson plan, students write numbers in expanded form.

Young scholars write math questions that pertain to the Lewis and Clark Expedition.  In this math lesson, students utilize resources in the classroom to help write mathematical questions and answers that relate to the Lewis and...

First graders chop vegetables into fractions. In this fractions instructional activity, 1st graders cut vegetables, collect data about favorite vegetables and create a bar graph using the information. Students make inferences about...

Young scholars discuss the possibility of intelligent life in space. In this space science lesson plan, students decipher a radio message electronically transmitted in space. They create their own extraterrestrial welcome greeting.

Second graders examine the commutative property of addition and the property of zero in addition and subtraction. They complete an asessment worksheet to gain practice reading and working number sentences horizontally and vertically.

If you have or can create a set of tiles, numbered one through eight, then you can implement this hands-on lesson about probability models. Individuals draw a tile from a bag, record its number, and then return it to the bag. They...

Students create a mini-book with the Spanish numbers 0-10, then compare and contrast the English numbers to the new Spanish numbers.

Pupils read poems, read phrases, and create a poster for what math is and relate it back to literature. They also discuss the impact math has had on literature.

Have your class design their own mathematical study aids. Learners collaborate in groups on the design of tri-fold presentation describing the relationships between mathematical computations. Then, they write a business letter to the...

Students explore a computer-aided design program. Students chart out roller coaster design, computer graphics and architecture. Students focus on understanding the connections between mathematics, science, technology and innovation.

Groups explore sets of 10 items in two varieties (i.e. 3 white buttons and 7 black ones, or 5 bears and 5 bunnies). They brainstorm about their objects, write math sentences to represent what they have, and report their discoveries...

Who knew quilting would be so mathematical? Introduce linear equations and graphing while working with the lines of pre-designed quilts. Use the parts of the design to calculate the slope of the linear segments. The project...

Explore rational numbers with the young mathematicians in your class. They will investigate decimals, fractions, and percents before ordering and comparing rational numbers. This multi-day unit includes differentiation activities and...
