Class members explore the estimation of irrational numbers in association with the Pythagorean Theorem. The first lesson of this module challenges pupils to use the Pythagorean Theorem to find unknown side lengths. When the length is not...

Have some fun building squares out of triangles. Pupils investigate the partial sums of odd numbers. Using the sum of the first four odd numbers, learners see that it can be rewritten as a sum containing a triangular number. Simplifying...

You mean the square root of five and five don't have the same value? Learners estimate the value of irrational roots. As they practice estimating the value, they increase their understanding of roots. The lesson is the fourth in a series...

Show your class that not all equations are linear. The lesson asks learners to solve simple quadratic and cubic equations using square and cube roots. Problems include equations with no solutions. 

Build on your classes' understanding of irrational numbers by comparing their values. The 13th lesson in the 25-part module has individuals estimate values of both perfect and non-perfect roots. They finish by graphing these numbers on a...

All shapes have certain defining attributes that set them apart from others. In order to understand this, young mathematicians look at examples and non-examples of triangles, rectangles, and squares, working as a whole class to create...

It's amazing the complex figures that can be made using only a few simple shapes. Following a class reading of the children's book Grandfather Tang's Story by Ann Tompert, young mathematicians use sets of tangrams to create models...

Residual plots let you find the perfect line of best fit. As users adjust the points on a scatter plot and a possible line of best fit, the interactive automatically changes the residual plot. This change allows them to see connections...

Obviously, four is the perfect number when you're playing Four Square. Scholars first use multiplication and division to solve a set of problems on the number of balls needed, the number of games, and the number of players required for a...

What does your class know about GMOs? Are they savvy to selective breeding? Challenge young minds to engineer the greatest crop of all time using a hands-on genetics unit. Learners discover the good and bad details of selective breeding,...

Where did that formula come from? Lead pupils on a journey through completing the square to discover the creation of the quadratic formula. Individuals use the quadratic formula to solve quadratic equations and compare the method to...

A neat and organized formula handout makes the circle go round, doesn't it? Full of higher algebra topics, formulas and rules, graphs and definitions—there is a way to support everyone in Algebra II or Pre-Calculus. 

Thirty-eight flashcards make up a set designed to reinforce math vocabulary. Two types of cards can be found here; a word card in bold lettering, and a corresponding definition card that offers a labeled example. Terms include area,...
