Sixth graders examine how to select samples and apply them to an experiment. In this sampling lesson, 6th graders use a bag of yellow and blue cubes to take a sample. They predict how many of each color there are the bag. They set up and...

Learners investigate the different properties of trigonometry. In this precalculus lesson, students find the six different identities of trigonometric ratios. They relate the ratios to that of a right triangle and apply it to real life...

Students solve word problems using the law of sines. In this precalculus lesson, students work in groups as they define vocabulary terms. They apply the formula of sine to answer and solve problems.

Students decide when to use computation and permutation to solve problems. In this algebra lesson, students apply the correct method to solve complex set of events. They differentiate between dependent and independent events.

Students solve problems involving triangles. In this geometry lesson, students apply properties of triangles to find the missing angles and sides. They identify angles of parallel lines cut by a transversal.

Students add and subtract integers. In this algebra lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide integers. They apply the properties of numbers as they solve equations.

Students analyze height and collect data to create a graph. In this statistics lesson, students use central tendencies to analyze their data and make predictions. They apply concept of statistics to other areas of academics to make a...

Third graders apply deductive reasoning and make predictions. In this language arts lesson, 3rd graders discuss questions and use deductive reasoning to make a prediction. Students look for patterns and prior knowledge to make predictions.

Young scholars compute and estimate using mental mathematics, paper-and-pencil methods, calculators, and computers. They measure and compare quantities using appropriate units, instruments and methods. They utilize worksheets imbedded in...

Students review employment statistics and wages over the past 20 years. They examine the Federal Work Force Laws. They apply formulas to find the rate of change in the minimum wage.

Students investigate how Global Positioning Systems work and how and why GPS receivers make errors. They graph data points and apply estimation and prediction to real-life GPS situations, discuss time delay, and complete a worksheet.

Students create podcasts of student-created review questions using iPod, iTalk, iTunes, GarageBand, and Keynote. This lesson is intended for as a mathematics review but could be adapted to fit any subject across many different levels.

Seventh graders conduct an investigation into the design of bridges and their construction. Students design bridges and draw detailed plans. For assessment they construct a model of a bridge that is made entirely of toothpicks. Students...

Students go over the examples given of the greatest common factors as a class. They then take the information they have studied and apply it by completing the worksheet independently.
