In this stairs and slope learning exercise, 11th graders solve and complete 12 various problems that include identifying stairs that meet the given guidelines using slope. First, they use a ruler to measure the risers and treads from one...

Students define and identify transformation and rotation. For this geometry lesson, students define rotations as congruence or isometry. They find the coordinates of an image and pre-image.

Watch an episode of the TV show, NUMB3RS and then explore the mathematics of chain letters and pyramid schemes, both of which involve geometric progressions and exponential growth. They discuss why both are dangerous and illegal.

Conditional probability can be a confusing concept. A straightforward lesson provides reasonable examples of conditional probability, and models the most effective ways to reinforce the more complex parts of the lesson.

Young scholars discuss methods to solve equations and inequalities with one variable. As a review, they write Addition and Subtraction properties of equality and Multiplication and Division properties of equality. Students graph points,...
