What happens to your money between the time you make a bank deposit and the time you decide to spend it? Take middle schoolers and teens through the process of opening checking and savings accounts, creating a personal budget,...

Free clothes? In the middle school assessment task, learners first consider whether four 25 percent reductions will result in a sale price of $0. Mathematicians then determine the sale price and discount percentage of such a sale.

Sixth graders explore a relevant application of ratios and proportions. They apply this concept through guided practice and interactive feedback.

Sixth graders create word problems. In this sixth grade mathematics lesson, 6th graders use digital cameras to photograph interesting events around school and create word problems for their photographs that address the key concepts...

Students examine the concepts of symmetry, rotations, reflections, translation, dialations, and tessellations and apply them to indigenous art. They also do Internet research and create artwork (painting, pottery, computer graphic design).

Students observe and measure a model of slow down slope movement.  In this graphing lesson students collect, record, and organize data that apply to models.   

Students interpret a graph of ocean depths and topographic features. This task assesses students' abilities to interpret figures, organize and represent data, apply knowledge of scale to a profile, and apply theoretical knowledge.

Students explore circumference and diameter. In this math lesson, students apply their knowledge of circumference and diameter to solve mathematical riddles. Students apply this knowledge to find circumference and diameter of various...

Students explore percent increases and decreases. They calculate the percent increase and decrease. Students use math to solve problems and communicate. They apply the given formula for percent increase/decrease.

Students form rectangles by using tiles, measure area and perimeter by counting. They discover and apply rules for measuring perimeter.

Students use the disciplines of math and science to examine ecosystems. In groups, they calculate the amount of supplies they would need to live in the classroom for one day, a week and a year. Using this information, they apply it to...

Students discover scales for both the solar bodies' relative sizes and their distances from the sun. They find equatorial circumference and volumes of their solar bodies. Students apply estimation strategies and proportioanl reasoning to...

Single-step addition or subtraction operations are applied in order to solve these 12 simple equations. An answer key is available, not so much for you, but perhaps to be used by learners as a self-correction tool. Note that the...

Twelve very simple equations are presented for learners to solve. What is the value of x? What is the value of n? Individuals apply operations to find the answers. You will find the final answers by clicking on the appropriate box at the...

Sixth graders listen to Demi's, On Grain of Rice: A Mathematical Folktale. They use the problem solving strategy of finding a pattern to determine the number of rice Rani will receive after 30 days. They create a spreadsheet which...

Students investigate probability.  In this fourth through sixth grade mathematics lesson, students collect, organize and display data in an appropriate chart or graph as they calculate and apply basic probability. 

Students explore Newton's laws using CEENBoTs. For this physics lesson, students collect data and create tables and graphs. They calculate speed, acceleration and forces using mathematical formulas.

Pupils master the process of applying critical thinking to each and every problem/task that confronts them in their daily undertakings. Further, this activity can serve as a base reference and model for other problems that may arise.

Students collect and analyze data, then draw conclusions from the data and apply basic concepts of probability.

Students develop techniques for estimating the area of a circle and use ideas about area and perimeter to solve practical problems. In this area and perimeter lesson, students apply the concepts of perimeter and area to the solution of...

Students consider the relationship of temperature to environmental conditions and then apply their knowledge to a practical event. The task assesses students' knowledge and application of that knowledge to an additional situation.

Students identify Newton's Laws of Motion. They students explore Newton's Laws of Motion and apply the second law with a classroom activity. The videos will provide visual examples of the effects of gravity while riding on a roller coaster.

Students apply the substitution process to solve equations with more than one variable. They explore how to use the process and when it should be used.

Students investigate art elements such as color schemes and proportion by creating their own personal Mandala Circle on paper or canvas. This also allows students to investigate mathematical concepts such as tesselations or social...
