Take your class on a field trip to Fractalland where they'll learn all about number and shape patterns. Based on Disney's movie Alice in Wonderland, this resource takes young mathematicians on an adventure as they explore patterns in...

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. In this lesson on evaluating algebraic expressions, students are able to identify the coefficient in an algebraic expression, "act out" the foil method of multiplying...

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...

Students examine Pascal's Triangle and attempt construct it on their own.  In this visual patterns lesson students explore patterns that exist in Pascal's triangle.

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

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.

Examine scenarios involving number patterns. Learners complete a series of activities, including working with Pascal's triangle ando completing chart activities based on different pricing for pizza toppings. An included extension has...

Students 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.

Young scholars describe four states of matter and their characteristics, explain thermal expansion of matter, interpret state changes in terms of kinetic theory of matter, explain relationship between temperature and volume of a gas,...

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 lesson, 12th graders investigate the menus and tools available in Derive.  In addition to the familiarization part of the lesson, students investigate Pascal’s Triangle,...

Over the course of three days, middle schoolers explore the concept of connotation. They differentiate between the connotative and denotative meanings of sports team names, develop their own team names, logos, and text, and revise a news...

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.

Students learn how to classify animals. In this animal characteristics lesson plan, students read Granddad's Animal Alphabet Book, brainstorm a list of different kinds of animals, and determine their characteristics; fur, feathers or...

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

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.

Young scholars are able to define the following terms: compiler, source code, object code, syntax code, and debugging. They are able to define a computational problem. Students are able to formulate a simple mathematical model. They are...

Fifth graders examine how to see patterns by showing how things work together. They identify, analyze and determine a rule for predicting and extending numberical patterns involving operations of whole numbers, decimals and fractions.

Fourth graders observe a demonstration experiment showing air pressure. They explain air pressure by completing the worksheet.

Students identify and describe the building blocks that make up an atom. They also compare the ages of atoms to the ages of the materials they compose,as well as, give examples that illustrate the small size of atoms.
