Having a good working knowledge of math vocabulary is especially important for geometry learners. Here are 119 pages worth of wonderfully constructed definitions, constructions, formulas, properties, theorems, and postulates. This is a...

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

Third graders measure their feet and their parents' feet, record data on computer-generated graphs, and calculate and record mean, median, and mode.

Fourth graders explore fractions. They compare different fractions using fraction bars. Students find equivalent fractions and they use fraction bars to visualize addition of fractions.

Students use a spreadsheet to find sequences of numbers. In this algebra lesson, students find the values for c of a quadratic written in standard form. They relate the behavior of the graph to the values of the equation.
