Supply and Demand Introduction

What does it mean for something to grow exponentially, and how does that compare to linear growth? This activity tries to help learners gain an understanding of these concepts while modeling real-world problems. Linear and exponential...

Pupils engage in an activity where one partner reads directions while the other follows those directions to complete a math task (such as bisecting an angle). As a reflection, they examine products to see what information the best...

Learners examine objects and find their volumes using geometric formulas in the 21st installment of this 25-part module. Objects take the shape of truncated cones and pyramids, and individuals apply concepts of similar triangles to find...

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This unit...

How many ways can you slice a pyramid? The 18th lesson plan of the 29-part series examines the multiple planes of a rectangular pyramid. Pupils study each slice to determine its shape and relation to the different faces.

Seventh graders create a video of different formats to deliver a presentation of a math concept such as square roots, decimals, fractions, and more. In this math presentation lesson plan, 7th graders can plan a rap video, story,...

Students explore the math concept of percents. In this percents lesson, students examine visual examples of the relationships among fractions, decimals, and percents. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

A hands-on simulation perfect for an economics instructional activity, young learners investigate the availability of different sources of natural energy (coal, natural gas, oil, solar, and nuclear) and how this availability affects...

Students play instruments in math class to learn the interconnectedness between math and music. In this math activity, students subdivide a piece of music, clapping rhythms and charting rhythm patterns in the song. A guided discussion...

Motivation is key to learning. The author points out that it is important to engage intuition for aspects of statistics that pupils find counter-intuitive. Three strategies—using multiple representations, using intuitive analogies, and...
