Students explore the concept of Mandelbrot sets and Julia sets. In this Mandelbrot and Julia set lesson, students use a function integrator applet to investigate two-variable function iterations. Students use Julia set and Mandelbrot set...

Students use triangles to find the length and slope of each side. After connecting the vertices, they add points based on their specific instructions. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to complete a worksheet to end the lesson.

Students investigate shapes and patterns. In this algebra lesson, students move from concrete to abstract understanding of shapes and concepts. They use variable to identify the unknown.

Young scholars investigate the properties and idea of the Pythagorean Theorem. In this algebra lesson plan, students identify the different parts of a right triangle and relate it to the Pythagorean Theorem. They do a robotic experiment...

What did you do over your summer vacation. Young wage earners must compare summer job options, and determine when each job earn the same amount and what that amount be. This be done by creating, graphing, and solving systems of...

Students collect data from measurements and weights for this experiment. In this algebra lesson, students analyze graphs they create form their data to find the expression representing the data. They label which graph provided the best...

Students sort objects based on one characteristic. They define the term "attribute" and give examples of attributes of objects. Students explain their reasoning for sorting objects into groups.

Students use math functions in part to complete a metaphorical lesson on tolerance. In this math and tolerance lesson, students receive rows of functions and try to find a single simple shared property without success. Students then...

Students identify and define properties of triangles. In this geometry lesson, students identify the missing sides and angles of right triangles. They use the rules of the Pythagorean Theorem to solve their problems.

Middle schoolers explore number sense by completing math function problems in class. In this integers lesson, students define integers and practice plotting them on a number line. Middle schoolers utilize math functions such as addition...

Students explore the concept of fractals. In this fractals lesson, students play the "Chaos Game" via an applet. Students place dots on the screen to recognize that they have created Sierpinski's Triangle.

Students investigate the growth and decay of an exponential function. In this algebra lesson, students apply properties of exponent solve problems. They identify any patterns they see in the graphs.

Students identify the properties of a circle. In this geometry instructional activity, students relate properties of diameter to sections of a pizza. They calculate the measure of an arc and missing angles.

Students explore a linear, a parabolic, and a log function.  In this Algebra II/Pre-calculus lesson students investigate the graph a line, a parabola, and a log function.  Students examine the three graphs as they compare and...

Students identify the equation to represent a circle. In this algebra instructional activity, students review properties of conics and how they are related. they use a robot to create a visual of circles and their application to the...

Pupils 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 investigate properties of lines and points by making a rover. In this algebra instructional activity, students plot points correctly on a coordinate plane. They identify coordinate pairs given the plots and lines.

Learners solve triangles using the properties if congruency. For this geometry lesson, students apply congruent and similar figures to solve real world and math problems. They show they are able to follow instructions.

Students measure the activity and parts of a robot. In this algebra lesson, students explore ratio and proportion using their classroom. They apply properties of fractions as they cross multiply to solve problems.

Students derive the six trigonometric identities. In this trigonometry lesson, students find the ratios of sine, cosine and tangent using the right triangle. They use properties of the Pythagorean Theorem to find the trig identities.

Students stud angles, and then play the "What's Your Angle?" game. They complete at least 10 computer generated problems from the Angles Applet.

Students use math to solve encrypted messages.

Eighth graders, while in the computer lab, access a web site to help them utilize manipulatives of cups and tiles to develop the skills necessary to understand multi-step equations. They assess the relationship between cups and tiles and...

Functions as inputs for other functions? After reviewing function notation and how to input values to evaluate functions, class members input functions into functions, essentially determining the composition of functions.
