Ready to increase pupils' understanding of slope with an upward slope? Scholars use an interactive that allows users to move two points on a coordinate plane. The interactive then automatically calculates the slope, the slope-intercept...

Is your stoichiometry lesson plan just not adding up? Incorporate an exciting interactive to balance things out! Chemistry scholars manipulate the number of molecules added to the reaction vessel, then observe as bonds form and break as...

Students play Chembalancer game and balance equations using the trial and error method.

Upper graders will solve equations using order of operations, and create equations that to play a fun math bowling game. They will bowl using dice to practice operations. Extensions are also included.

Students are divided into groups and then each group is assigned a separate topic related to the equation of a line. Each group researches their topic and then they teach the rest of the groups about it.

Young scholars use, with increasing confidence, problem-solving approaches to investigate and explain mathematical content. They make and test conjectures. They use tables and graphs as tools to interpret expressions, equations, and...

Build up from the previous activity where your learners charted the population growth and decay of a fish pond with M&Ms®. Have them look at the data from that activity and create a Now-Next, or recursive equations, to predict the...

Students explore how dance can be infused with mathematics. In this art and mathematics lesson plan, students recognize how the ABA dance form is similar to a math number sentence. Students create a dance choosing dance words to...

Did you know when you mix the reactants sulfur, tungsten, and silver, you get the products SWAg? The simulation begins with making sandwiches, to show pupils reactants and products of something familiar. They then can make water,...

Young math whizzes role play a doctor operating on a patient without diagnosing the patient's condition. They relate this medical malpractice to performing a mathematical operation before evaluating conditions or deciding what the...

Slope-intercept form ... perhaps it has something to do with slope and intercepts? An easy-to-use interactive lets users adjust the locations of two points on a line. The interactive automatically updates the slope-intercept form of the...

Great real-world math application! Have the class compare and contrast their estimated home price and income data with actual data. In groups, they participate in simulations to discover how the housing market and mortgages operate....

Students practice solving algebra equations utilizing model tiles.  In this algebra lesson, students observe a clip from the movie Homeward Bound and break the action down into an algebraic equation.  Students solve an algebra...

Why did Mr. Ohm marry Mrs. Ohm? He couldn't resistor. An electrifying simulation allows scholars to control both voltage and resistance in order to see the current change. The formula is displayed and as you increase one variable, it...

This fun activity guides learners through an exploration of the effects of replacing f(x) with -f(x), f(x) + c, k f(x), and f(x + c). Using graphing calculators, students experiment with variations of the graph of y = x^2 to design a...

Students click an icon from hyper studio template and cooperate with others from group to a solve mathematical equation and then use their bodies to "build" the answer. They work cooperatively to complete tasks.

Math and M&Ms® go great together when introducing a modeling activity. Allow your learners to simulate population growth and decay of fish in a pond and share their reasoning for the change in fish. With such an impact we have on our...

Eighth graders calculate a system of equations to find the best ticket price for a ticket at a water park. They explain how the equations helped them make their decision on the best price.

Ninth graders apply basic algebra concepts to equations using cognitive, affective, and kinesthetic components. They create their own word problem, perform the story problem using a dramatic presentation, and present the problem to the...

Class members listen to the William Wise book Ten Sly Piranhas and act out the story with one child playing the piranha. They use goldfish crackers (eating them to show subtraction) to demonstrate and understand equations they see...

Resistance is not futile, it is voltage divided by current. A creative simulation presents a wire graphic and allows participants to alter the area, length, and resistivity. As scholars increase or decrease a variable within the...

Build confidence about functions with the function builder. Pupils learn about functions and transformations using an interactive. A function machine transforms pictures, numbers, and equations based on a function rule. A mystery...

Fourth graders complete a role playing activity to build understanding of number concepts. They use Algebraic Closure throughout six operations to better comprehend and review basic number theory. They utilize a worksheet imbedded in...
