Students follow detailed directions to use the GeoGebra program. In this mathematics lesson, students find the nth term of a sequence, and use line art to approximate a Bezier's curve. Students locate points and segments on a circle. The...

Students explore the Mandelbrot Set. They are introduced to the concept of a complex number and function in order to motivate the discussion of Julia and Mandelbrot sets. Students investigate fractals and how they are built.

Students set up and solve a system of quadratic inequalities related to real-world situations.

Students solve right triangles using the Pythagorean Theorem.  In this solving right triangles using the Pythagorean Theorem lesson plan, students find the missing side of a right triangle.  Students find the hypotenuse given...

Sixth graders construct a rule about the number of sides found in a pattern of hexagons. In this mathematical problem solving lesson, 6th graders observe different hexagon patterns and create a rule about the relationship between the...

Middle schoolers discover the linear relationship between degrees Farenheit and degrees Celsius. They manually compute the slope and y-intercept of the line passing through points. They convert Celsius to Fahrenheit degrees.

Fifth graders discuss the relationship between equivalent fractions, ratios, and proportions. In this fraction lesson, 5th graders answer questions about a punch mixture in order to find the ratio of ingredients.

Students use shapes and manipulatives to demonstrate patterns. In this patterns lesson plan, students also break up patterns to identify a pattern unit.

In this limit activity, students evaluate functions and determine the limits of the function. This one-page activity contains 10 problems.

Young scholars examine and discuss typical linear equations, and the difference between a linear and nonlinear equation. They observe examples of linear equations and complete a worksheet.

Students participate in activities the connect measurement to geometry, statistics, estimation, and the real world. They collect measurements from their elbow to the tip of their middle finger and make a box plot of the data as well as...

In this math worksheet, students define a function f(x) by the following rule: for any x ∈ R,set. They also define the domain and range for the functions.

Students examine how driving a hybrid car can save money and cut down on pollution.  In this hybrid vehicles lesson students complete an exercise that shows them how to work with proportions, percents, dimensional analysis and...

Students explore arithmetic and numerical patterns. After observing a teacher created function box, students describe a pattern and predict what will "come out" of the function box. They explore patterns such as geometric shapes,...

Students explore codes, decode secret messages, and create codes of their own to use with their friends. They examine the use of gestures, letters, symbols and numbers in codes.

Students observe a demonstration of regular soda versus diet soda.  In this exploring density instructional activity students complete a lab on density and present a PowerPoint presentations of their results.

Students use concrete and pictorial representation of geometric patterns to extend patterns. In this geometric patterns lesson plan, students identify patterns and extend them.

Young scholars use the FoilSim educational software program to complete an activity regarding lift. They solve a multivariable equation for each of the variables and apply the results to various problems in different situations.

Students explore numbers patterns and write equations to describe the pattern. They apply the equations to further the patterns.

In this polar and exponential form worksheet, students use Euler's Formula to write complex numbers in exponential form. They write numbers in rectangular form. This two-page worksheet contains seven multi-step problems.

Young scholars investigate growing patterns. In this additive patterns lesson, students analyze the core of growing patterns. Young scholars extend additive patterns based on the core.

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.
