Go the distance in learning about distance, rate, and time. Young mathematicians use an interactive to investigate the relationship between distance, rate, and time. A set of challenge questions assesses understanding of these...

Set young mathematicians up for success with this interactive math notebook. Including a list of rules and expectations for using the notebooks, as well as templates for a creating a cover page and table of contents, this resource...

How sustainable are cell phones? Throughout the unit, learners explore the issues around cell phones concerning sustainability. Class members take a graphical look at the number of cell phones across the world using a box-and-whisker...

There's no restriction to how much your class can learn about domain and range. Users of an interactive adjust the radius of a circle to see its effects on the area. They note how restrictions in the domain (radius) relate to...

Your learners will get lots of practice calculating simple and compound interest by the end of this lesson. Simple explanations and examples lead learners through the concepts and steps of calculating simple and compound interest...

Time is on your side. Scholars plot three points on number lines with different time units to represent the time it takes three people to bake pies. They determine the fastest baker and the difference in times between the bakers.

Scholars determine the number of possible outcomes when a spinner is spun three times. They start with the case of one spin and build up to the case of three spins.

Plant growth experiments offer rich, cross-curricular learning opportunities that can really excite and engage young learners. In this series, children work in pairs planting, measuring, and comparing the height of bean plants in order...

Did you know scientists can tell the age of an asteroid by looking closely at its craters? This final lesson of a six-part series focuses on two asteroids, Gaspra and Ida, in order to demonstrate the concept of dating asteroids. Scholars...

Determine the location of the pillars in time. Given a table of values for two parametric equations, pupils complete the table to determine the location and time it takes to build the pillars. Learners plot the points representing...

We'd all like to see our money double. An interactive shows how an initial investment of $1,000 will increase using a constant rate of return. Scholars answer a set of challenge questions based on the situation.

Scholars examine the jobs found in their community by way of surveying. After collecting data, pupils analyze their findings and share their observations with their peers. A video sparks interest. Two posters motivate participants to...

Strengthen your understanding of logistic functions. Young mathematicians change the carrying capacity of a logistic function and see how function values change. The function models the number of members in a gym over time.

Find the distance between various locations in a neighborhood. Scholars use the interactive to find distances between locations on a map. The map is overlaid onto a grid to provide coordinates for each location, and pupils apply...

Why is that shadow getting longer? Determine the changes in the length of a shadow as the sun changes position in the sky. Individuals use an interactive to calculate the length of a shadow at different times during the day via the...

Pupils use an interactive clock to set specific times. They apply math to an everyday task as they determine the measure of the angle formed by the hands in degrees and in radians. 

What time is it when the arc length is pi? An interactive displays the measure of the angle created between the hour and minute hand of a clock. Pupils can set the clock to different hours and calculate the arc length based upon the radius.

Show budding mathematicians how to model a diminishing bacteria colony two ways—graphically and algebraically. Using the coordinate axis, pupils create a graph to represent the decay of a bacteria colony. They determine the number of...

Compare iPad and HDTV aspect ratios. Individuals use the interactive to determine whether the measurements of screens represent a Pythagorean triple. The pupils determine what changes are needed to make a Pythagorean triple.

Shortcut the work in finding total volumes. Pupils determine a polynomial expression that would represent the combined volume of three boxes. Each box has the same height, and the scholars rewrite the expression by factoring out the...

The number of bicycle wheel turns is as good as any way to describe the distance from school to home. An interactive lets young mathematicians determine the number of city blocks a person bicycles. They use this information along with an...

Connect the dots to graph a linear function. Young mathematicians use an interactive to first plot provided points on a coordinate plane. They connect these points with a line and then answer questions about the slope and y-intercept of...

Is the inverse of a function also a function? Pupils manipulate the graph of a function to view its inverse to answer this question. Using a horizontal and vertical line, class members determine whether the initial function is...

So many different ways to solve equations, so little time! Scholars learn how to solve equations with variables on both sides by using several different methods. They apply bar models, decomposition, and traditional algebraic methods to...
