Students engage in a instructional activity that focuses on analytic geometry. The instructional activity asked them to apply skills of relating equations when plotting them on the coordinate plane. Students construct the equations using...

Pupils of all ages work in pairs to find information about themselves and record a digital "Who am I?" They observe and measure each other, write clues, and illustrate before having others guess who is described.

Fifth graders discuss variety of fictional writing genres and connect each to familiar story that has been read, use creative and analytical skills to develop original piece of fictional writing that incorporates math skill, and share...

Three activities make up an introductory instructional activity designed to create a strong foundation in comparing fractions to decimals and exploring and building decimal models. Pupils brainstorm and complete a Venn diagram to show...

Students write story problems which can only be solved with the application of multiplication facts. They write an extra fact that isn't needed to solve. When their partners do the problems, they must cross out the fact that they do need.

Students examine Triangle Congruency. In this measurement comparison lesson, students use inductive, deductive and analytical thinking skills to prove triangle congruency. Students analyze and record their findings on activity worksheets.

Your learners combine their knowledge of real and imaginary numbers and matrices in an activity containing thirty lessons, two assessments (mid-module and end module), and their corresponding rubrics. Centered on complex numbers and...

The investigation of exponential equation in the context of increasing college tuition costs is explored through this lessib.  Students write exponential equations based on the percent of change of college tuition and use their...

Pupils write systems of equations in an augmented matrix and enter it into their calculator. They use the reduced row echelon function on the calculator to solve the system of equations.

This performance task gives the population model of different types of flies and asks scholars to analyze the two populations. After interpreting the functions individually, participants compare the two populations and find the time...

Connect the size of a rolling cup to the size of circle it makes. Pupils view videos of cups of different sizes rolling in a circle. Using the videos and additional data, they attempt to determine a relationship between cup...

Tenth graders study the concept of risk analysis as it relates to geometry. In this spatial relationship lesson, 10th graders are provided a set of coordinates to analyze a piece of land described. Students write a description that...

Sixth graders brainstorm the reasons why people would want to leave their homeland to live in the United States. In groups, they research the political representation of the Board in New Haven, Connecticut. They also write a paper on...

Students explore heart rates. They record pulse rates, predict which exercises cause a faster heart rate, make a chart, and graph the results. Students write an essay using the data to support their predictions. They write a hypothesis...

Students study grocery receipts to simulate the archaeological activity of classifying items. They discuss the receipts as if they were find lists.

Students explore the interplay between the geometric and analytic information and on the use of calculus both to predict and to explain the observed local and global behavior of a function. They write a paragraph describing any...

Students explore the concept of coordinate proofs. In this coordinate proofs lesson, students write coordinate proofs using properties of distance, slope, and midpoint. Students discuss why it is sometimes beneficial to double the...

Students investigate geometric shapes in their environment, make a geometric design, and write paragraphs describing the design.

Learners talk about mathematical language.  For this talking about your name lesson, students use the letters in their own name to review math vocabulary and concepts.  

Students apply their knowledge of math by rewriting word problems using equations. In this word problem lesson plan, students build upon previous knowledge as they set up the correct steps to solve word problems. This lesson plan is full...

These aren't models made of clay. Young mathematicians model given population data using exponential functions. They consider different models and choose the best one.

Young scholars analyze relationship between the increase in polygons sides and a circle. In this geometry lesson, students relate the size of the central angle of a polygon, to a circle. They compare the formula for the area of a polygon...

Pupils investigate the formulas for volumes of various solids using the Ti-89 calculator. The lesson plan focuses on the keying sequences necessary to embed the required volume formula in a program which is then used in the problem...

Tenth graders explore volume and surface area through percentages. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders analyze the surface area of two and three dimensional shapes, then use percents and ratio to compare the two.
