Students use a spreadsheet to investigate data. For this algebra lesson, students collect and graph data on a coordinate plane. They explain properties of a linear equation both algebraically and orally.

Students identify the different systems of equations. In this algebra activity, students solve systems of equations using graphing, elimination and substitution. They use the Ti to graph their systems.

Students explore patterns in everyday life and in the mathematic world. They create various concrete examples of patterns and verbally describe these patterns to a fellow student.

In this math worksheet, students read the discussion about the importance of games. They create a game as directed. They also read the rules for the Pascal Triangle.

Young scholars analyze the relationship between speed, time and distance. In this math lesson, students plan a school trip. Young scholars determine the efficiency and cost effectiveness of a trip.

Third graders name different kinds of shapes and then discuss what they know about them an what they would like to learn using a K-W-L chart whole group. They listen to the book, THE GREEDY TRIANGLE and then retell it to the class. They...

Students explore the dose response principle, an introduction to what the "natural log" (ln) is and how it behaves. They create and analyze a dose response graph.

Learners calculate the amount of pesticide residue in selected foods for two pesticides and determine if these levels are safe. They read an article about a research study looking for metabolites of these pesticides in children. Finally,...

Students solve a word problem that explores the shape of a cube and ways that part of it can be colored. They discuss the problem and analyze a Rubik's cube, explore the problem using a graph, and discuss the solutions as a class.

Young scholars differentiate between ellipse and hyperbola. In this algebra lesson, students graph and solve elliptical equations. They use the cabri program to create the different conics and move them around.

Fourth graders identify the counties of Arizona. For this social studies lesson, 4th graders color a county map of Arizona using the fewest number of colors possible. Students write a persuasive paragraph.

Students investigate the ties that architecture and math have in common. They focus on works of architecture in the world that is considered of great significance. Students use the internet to find building images from around the world....

In this calculus lesson, students review counting using the principles of Enumeration. They use random selections to count and convert word problems and count. There are 21 problems with an answer key.

Students investigate circles and compound locus. In this geometry lesson, students identify the distance from a point to a line. They use Cabri software to create lines and circles.

Students use data from the Rossi X-ray Tiiming Explorer (RXTE) satellite to analyze and graph.

Sixth graders determine the number of triangles in the Star of David.

A thorough list of topics in the study of Discrete Mathematics. Combinatorics, Graph Theory, and Point Lattices are three of the many areas given in-depth explanations here. Many of the links contain discussions of the topics that both...

An MIT graduate student guides a classroom through fun activities that will introduce students to graph theory. The goal of these activities: find a route through a town without crossing the same path twice. Video is accompanied by a...

Discrete mathematics deals with areas of mathematics that are discrete, as opposed to continuous, in nature. Sequences and series, counting problems, graph theory and set theory are some of the many branches of mathematics in this...

This series of activities incorporates the concept of graph theory into the discrete mathematics classroom. Students work in a group to solve problems using graph theory.

The video is an introduction to graph theory with descriptions and models.

Wikipedia provides an introduction and overview of graph theory. In addition to introducing the basic terms, there are related links to classic problems in graph theory such as the traveling salesman problem and Dijkstra's algorithm.

Contains a clear explanation of the basic terminology of graph theory. The useful for a first introduction to graphs and graph theory.

This supplement presents a wide variety of interesting and important applications in discrete mathematics, grouped in individual chapters for thorough treatment of each application. Each chapter contains its own set of Examples and...
