Young scholars collect data on a robot and relate the behavior to prove there is an infinite minute set of numbers. In this algebra lesson plan, students verify that there is always a number between two numbers. They analyze and...

Students examine the different types of polygons and their characteristics. In this polyhedrons lesson, students discuss the derivations of specific models of polyhedrons. Students work in pairs to make a copy of a polygon...

Middle schoolers relate the division of monomials to multiplication. In this division of monomials lesson, students divide monomials by factoring and dividing common factors from the originals. They check their answers by multiplication....

Students 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 complete a worksheet using M & M's to calculate percentages. They are given demonstrations by the teacher to know how to complete the activity.

Young learners apply divisibility rules to determine if a number is a factor of another number. They discuss what numbers are factors of another number and identify patterns using divisibility rules.

Pupils solve equations using a TI in this algebra lesson. They will practice solving equations and systems of equations on a TI. The TI-Navigator is required for this assignment.

In this decimals worksheet, 6th graders practice solving and rewriting 24 decimal divisors involving multiplication. Students solve 96 additional division divisor problems involving multiplication, addition, subtraction and division.

Pupils will analyze scales as related to models and real life in this geometry lesson. They work together to compare the dimensions on a model as compared to the real building.

Students work with patterns to develop formulas that will help them determine total cost. In this patterning lesson, students watch a video about an NBA trainer. (not included) They work in groups to access the assigned Internet websites...

Students participate in a measuring scavenger hunt. Students choose items around the room to estimate and measure. Students try measuring with their hands and compare with other students who did the same. Students discuss why their...

Students analyze data and create a line graph. In this graphing instructional activity, students explore data from a previous experiment and plot the information on a line graph. Students analyze their findings.

Middle schoolers compute area.  In this perimeter, area and volume lesson, students examine given objects and determine the perimeter, area, and volume of each. 

Sixth graders calculate perimeter of rectangles with different dimensions.  In this perimeter lesson, 6th graders define length, width and perimeter.  Students complete a perimeter activity using a web tool to change the...

Middle schoolers explore angle measure as they estimate angle measure and measure and draw angles of less than 360 degrees. The lesson emphasizes the use of estimation when measuring angles.

Learners construct frieze patterns using translations and rotations. They will discuss how frieze patterns are similar to jigsaw puzzles and use Cabri Jr. to build a triangle frieze pattern using rotations, translations, and reflections.

Students recognize the features of geometric shapes.  In this geometric shapes lesson, students listen to Captain Invincible and the Space Shapes. Students create solid figures with marshmallows and toothpicks.  Students create...

Sixth graders participate in an introductory lesson on the order of operations. In this order of operations lesson, 6th graders watch a video clip and a SMART Notebook or PowerPoint presentation of the concept. They apply a pneumonic...

In this decimals to fractions worksheet, students solve a total of 10 problems, writing decimal numbers given as fractions. A reference web site for additional activities is given.

Students surf the Web gathering information about graphs. The data collected is incorporated into an Excel spreadsheet and graphs of varying nature generated to further enhance student understanding.

Students explore tessellations and the artwork of M.C. Escher. They view and discuss a video about M.C. Escher, create a slide template out of cardboard, and create a poster with their tessellation pattern.

Students identify polygons.  In this geometric shape instructional activity, students explore the characteristics of polygons.  They identify polygons, and classify triangles according to their sides and angles.  Students...

Students create a ticket table illustrating the cost of tickets by alternative transportation. In this number sense lesson, students write number sentences to compare and contrast difference information in their chart. Students figure...

Students use a thermometer to record temperatures from their homes throughout the city, and then hypothesize reasons for the temperature variations. They use a weather graph worksheet that's imbedded in this lesson to orgainize their data.
