Is the path through December, January, and February the only path through winter? Not in a holiday math activity based on Pascal's Triangle! Middle schoolers study a triangle made of the letters from the word winter and decide how...

What could St. Patrick's Day and Pascal's triangle possibly have in common? Trace the pattern in a holiday-themed worksheet that prompts learners to find the word shamrock as many times as they can.

Students review the foil method used to multiply two binomials. For this lesson on evaluating algebraic expressions, students are able to identify the coefficient in an algebraic expression, "act out" the foil method of multiplying...

Students study Pascal's triangle. They construct their own version of Pascal's triangle, and relate some of the uses for it. While working through this process, students practice their integer multiplication and division skills.

Students define Pascal's triangle and special notations used to represent nth elements. For this geometry lesson, students solve problems using permutations and combinations. They compare the formula for permutation to that of Pascal's...

Learners explore patterns in everyday life and in the mathematic world. They create various concrete examples of patterns and verbally describe these patterns to a fellow student.

Middle school math whizzes view a PowerPoint tutorial on tree diagrams. Using "Anthonio's Pizza Palace," an interactive activity involving the selection of pizza toppings, they use Pascal's triangle as a tree diagram. This is an...

Twelfth graders explore Derive.  In this Calculus instructional activity, 12th graders investigate the menus and tools available in Derive.  In addition to the familiarization part of the instructional activity, students...

Students compare and order numbers. In this geometry lesson, students write equations for inequalities. They differentiate and apply concepts of triangular properties to solve problems.

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

Students experience how to illustrate some of the many connections between number and geometry. Through this 2-3 day focus on square numbers and triangular numbers, students make connections among mathematical topics.
