Learners sometimes struggle to understand the concept of adding and subtracting integers. Help them see the why behind their answers using the interactive number line. The values change as individuals adjust the number line for each new...

Utilize the lesson on utilization. The second installment of a nine-part technology/engineering series teaches scholars about the flow of a balanced assembly line and the definition of utilization. Videos, activities, and simulations...

Streets, bridges, and intersections, oh my! Parallel lines and transversals are a present in the world around us. Learners begin by discovering the relationship of the angles formed by parallel lines and a transversal. They then...

Apply geometry to find the distance as the crow flies. An engaging lesson compares the distance a car must drive to the straight line distance between two locations. Scholars must manipulate a simulation, note the change in distances,...

Distance estimates would be easy if the world were a grid. Scholars work to determine the distance between two structures using a coordinate plane. As an introduction, the lesson focuses on vertical and horizontal distances.

Students are introduced to the basic straight line pattern of travel that light takes. A cereal box and wax paper provide the pinhole camera that captures the light's inverted image. Shifting this pattern provides additional challenges.

Students, while in the computer lab, assess how to use Microsoft Excel as a "graphing calculator." They view visual representations of line graphs in a Cartesian plane while incorporating basic skills for using Excel productively.

Discover the results of reflecting an image. Learners use transparency paper to manipulate an image using a reflection in this fourth lesson of 18. They finish by reflecting various images across both vertical and horizontal lines.

Your learners can approach this task algebraically, geometrically, or both. They analyze the building of a linear function given two points and expand the concrete approach to the abstract when they are asked to find the general form of...

Demonstrate the ease of using a frequency table. An interactive lesson allows learners to create a frequency table efficiently. Challenge questions ask your classes to analyze the data represented in the frequency table. 

Students are introduced to lines, rays, line segments and planes. They explore the differences between lines, rays, line segments and planes. Students pracice graphing lines, rays, line segments and planes.

Assemble a great lesson plan on assembly lines. In the first installment of a nine-part technology/engineering series, future entrepreneurs learn about the manufacturing process, specifically about the assembly line and cycle time. The...

Students explore the concept of line of best fit. In this line of best fit lesson, students find lines of best fit in examples about riding your bike home from school and dentistry. Students find two data points and find the line of best...

Students identify the line of best fit. In this statistics lesson, students collect and analyze data. They calculate the regression equations and identify the different types of correlation.

Middle and high schoolers explore the concept of linear modelling.  In this linear modelling lesson, pupils find the line of best fit for life expectancy data of Canadians. They compare life expectancies of men and women, and find...

Back to the basics: learning how to add numbers. The 17th installment of a 35-part module first reviews addition techniques for rational numbers, such as graphical methods (number line) and numerical methods (standard algorithm). It goes...

Examine the segment addition postulate through an online simulation activity. An interactive lesson allows scholars to manipulate points and watch as the lengths of segments change. Through their study, they are able to apply the Segment...

Learners make mathematical argument using the concept of Limit. For this algebra lesson, student calculate the instantaneous rate of change from the linear graph. They use a TI-calculator to create a visual of the graphs.

Can you tell how tall someone is just by looking at their feet? In this activity, young mathematicians measure their height, arm span, and foot size, graph their findings, and answer questions about how these measurements are related....

Young mathematicians explore number values by utilizing food as a visual aide. They discuss the differences between halves, fourths, and eighths and how they are visually represented by a pizza. Then create their own pizza in class and...

Put on your thinking caps because middle school math has never been more interesting in this huge resource full of thought provoking questions. Written as a newsletter, the resource has 10 two-page newsletters with a variety of...

Students explore the concept of concurrent lines in triangles. In this concurrent lines in triangles lesson, students work in groups to investigate properties of concurrent lines in acute, right, and obtuse triangles. Students use a...

High schoolers explore the characteristics of topographical maps. They examine the relationship of contour lines and vertical elevation. Students create a three-dimensional model of a landscape represented by a topographic contour map.

Students identify and determine angle pair relationships. For this geometry lesson, students identify different angles of parallel lines that are cut by transversals. They identify interior and exterior angles after watching a video.
