In this rounding money activity, students identify the money amounts in each examples and round to the nearest dollar for the 10 examples.

Students create a spreadsheet to match a given sample. This includes adjusting column width and row height, changing alignment, changing size and style of print, changing number format.

Third graders read and discuss math story problems and analyze if the story is using equal groups or unequal groups. They listen to the book "12 Ways To Get to 11," and simulate the story using beads on a pipe cleaner. Students then...

Students use graphing calculators to graph lines and create tables of values. They perform an experiment using M&M's and slinkys, then create their tables based on their results.

Seventh graders discover that there are multiple strategies to be used in problem solving. They explain a problem solving situation in their own words and determine a possible strategy for solving the problem.

Eighth graders, in groups, create a newspaper using topics from an assigned chapter. They use ClarisWorks word processing, insert graphics, and create graphs using spreadsheets.

Eleventh graders work in groups and investigate how force determines the speed and distance then they view the video, "Math Vantage #7: What's Your Angle?." They are given a real life problem to solve using speed, ramps, angle, incline...

Students graph linear equations using intercepts, find y-intercept, find x-intercepts and graph linear equations that use horizontal and vertical lines.

Ninth graders explore the point-slope form of linear equations and graph lines in the point-slope form. After completing the point-slope equation, they identify the slope of a line through a particular point. Students explain the...

Ninth graders identify and describe the x-intercept as the place where the line crosses the x-axis as it applies to football. They create their own differentiations to reinforce the distinction between the x-intercept and the...

Give your class a list of multiplication and division sentences that contain both positive and negative integers. Have them analyze them to see if they can discover the pattern with the signs. From these patterns, help them develop the...

Middle schoolers consider an individual habit and its cost. They study ratios and proportions, and use that knowledge to calculate the cost of a habit over extended periods of time. write a detailed comparison of the costs.

Middle schoolers explore and implement the rules for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing negative integers. The rules for each of the operations are reviewed and applied to solve a variety of problems.

Students implement rules for adding, subtracting, dividing, and multiplying negative integers. They write rules for each mathematical operation of negative numbers. In groups, students complete number operations. Using PDAs, they share...

Students investigate the concept of using fractions to solve problems involving rational numbers. They order real numbers on the number line with the classification of fractions. Also students solve problems using the four operations...

Ninth graders explore solving linear inequalities. They discuss vocabulary words and symbols associated with linear inequalities. After a demonstration by the teacher, 9th graders solve and graph inequalities. Students complete a...

Census-takers view the Internet to find the total population of a city and its total land area. They work with different mathematical scenarios that involve populations and land area in their city. They complete math problems and unit...

Fifth graders work to find the fractions that are equal to one another. They use a visual pie graph to show different values. Students are able to see how fractions can look different, yet have the same value.

High schoolers examine finding the sum of an infinite series as the limit of partial sums. Through hands-on activities, students create their own sequence by finding the area of a square and then cutting it in half-sized pieces. They...

Students explore growth patterns by using manipulatives such as pattern blocks, investigate growth pattern of pattern, record growth in T-chart, describe how pattern is growing, and predict number of blocks needed to extend pattern.

Students collect data and make a frequency table, change ratios into percents, and analyze data to make predictions.

Learners use the digital camera, identify geometric shapes (in nature as well as man-made), and gain a better understanding of geometric vocabulary. They search for and recognize geometric shapes in unusual settings

Sixth graders solve problems involving money at learning situations. They solve the problems and determine if there is a solution, one solution, or many solutions. They write problems that have more than one solution and incorporate...

AAA Math's interactive tutorials and lessons assist students grades K-8 improve their understanding of a wide range of arithmetic topics. Students are provided with immediate feedback as they complete the "Learn," "Practice," and "Play"...
