Students construct two-column proofs. In this geometry lesson, students use deductive reasoning and geometric properties to justify given geometric statements. Students compare and contrast proofs.

Students gain an understanding of the value and importance of patterns in mathematics. Through video, interaction and hands-on activities, students identify concrete and abstract patterns incorporating logic and deductive and inductive...

Students investigate proofs used to solve geometric problems. In this geometry lesson, students read about the history behind early geometry and learn how to write proofs correctly using two columns. The define terminology valuable to...

High Schoolers use the TI-83 calculator to produce a sequence, explore patterns and find a linear or quadratic equation for a given pattern. They use inductive reasoning to make conjectures about patterns. They find the Y-value of a...

Students complete a chain of numbers given the outcome. In this geometry lesson, student use deductive and inductive reasoning to solve problems. They create a formula and ways to predict numbers in the chain without starting over.

Students define inductive and deductive reasoning and write two column proofs. In this geometry lesson, students analyze arguments and draw conclusion. They define steps necessary to arrive at the correct answer when completing proofs.

Students investigate triangles and congruences. In this geometry lesson plan, students differentiate between inductive and deductive reasoning. They differentiate between similar and congruent triangles.

Students investigate geometric relationship using conjecture about linear pairs and vertical angles. In this geometry activity, students apply their theorems and previous geometry knowledge to solve for and find angles of...

Students recognize patterns and sequences in numbers. In this geometry instructional activity, students create rules to define the sequences and patterns they obsere. They translate coded messages as they dicuss navigational terms.

Students examine Triangle Congruency. In this measurement comparison lesson, students use inductive, deductive and analytical thinking skills to prove triangle congruency. Students analyze and record their findings on activity worksheets.

Students use fractals to analyze nature. In this geometry lesson, students work in groups using technology and math to communicate. They identify where in the real world fractal can be seen.

Students identify diagrams of quadrilaterals and circles by different names and classify the figures. They name the areas for each diagram and practice solving the formulas for each.

Young scholars analyze patterns and try to figure out the next term in the sequence. For this algebra lesson, students discuss the functions rule and how it works to solve sequences. They practice solving problems and find the nth term...

Students are introduced to the topic of proofs in Geometry. During a PowerPoint presentation, they take notes on indirect proofs and have groups of students write a true statement. They are assessed on the statement and how well they...

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.

Pupils create a list of products with estimated prices. In this algebra lesson, students learn to write equations using variables. They match their created list with that of actual products and compare their prices,

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.
