A lesson plan asks young mathematicians to investigate the social determinants and the environmental factors that influence risk factors associated with the spread of COVID-19. Class members then brainstorm what they can do to alleviate...

How vulnerable are you to COVID-19? High school mathematicians use the Pandemic Vulnerability Index to create models that help them collect and analyze data about the risk factors associated with COVID-19. After investigating four groups...

Jump at the chance to use the idea of rates. Young mathematicians watch part of a clip of a Japanese TV show where a contestant jumps rope as fast as possible. They use the data for the number of jumps and the number of seconds shown in...

Test young mathematicians' addition skills with an engaging learning game. Two tugboat teams race to answer as many addition problems as possible.

Combine math and science with fun in the sun! Scientists build a solar gnomon using reusable materials to calculate relative air mass. Mathematicians measure the pole's shadow and use the data to solve for relative air mass....

There are plenty of fish in the sea, but only a few good resources on regression. Young mathematicians first perform a linear regression analysis on provided weight and length data for fish. After determining that a linear model is not...

Reinforce multiplication strategies with a lesson that examines a word problem and the distributive property. Mathematicians work collaboratively to solve the problem, create a poster with their solution, and share their preferred method...

"What are fractions composed of?" is the essential question of a lesson designed to enhance understanding and strengthen the foundation of adding fractions. Mathematicians start by discussing what makes an equation true or false,...

Following a catchy video about decomposing numbers, young mathematicians build and write numbers using dice. Class members work to create an anchor chart that displays six ways to make numbers. Beans get scooped and estimated, then...

The story, How Many Jelly Beans? by Andrea Menotti introduces a lesson about partial quotients. Mathematicians practice rounding and multiplying, then work in small groups to connect those skills with division and partial...

Following an engaging video, mathematicians solve a word problem about baking cupcakes using fractions. Scholars practice different problem-solving strategies, then find different ingredient amounts for their recipes. Pupils solve a...

A lesson on percents, perchance? Young mathematicians learn about the meaning of percents. They play a game using dice to write and solve questions involving percents.

If you made a doll version of yourself, how tall would you be? By using ratios and proportions, young mathematicians are able to answer this question. They actually create their dolls using clay, paper, or other materials.

Can you make money from math? Young mathematicians match real-world applications to systems of linear equations. In groups, they investigate investment strategies by writing systems of linear equations which helps them determine which...

What linear equation will fit this data, and how close is it? Through discussion and partner work, young mathematicians learn the procedure to determine a regression line in order to make predictions from the data. 

Provide your emerging mathematicians with the tools to learn as they incorporate auxiliary lines to solve unknown angle proofs in this continuing segment. They decipher information from a diagram to uncover the missing pieces and...
