Curated OER
Patterns In Fractals
Students find number patterns in the generation of several different types of fractals.
Curated OER
Lines, Rays, Line Segments, and Planes
Students are introduced to lines, rays, line segments and planes and study the differences between them. They also practice graphing lines, rays, line segments and planes
Curated OER
Cartesian Coordinate System
Students research the Cartesian Coordinate System and its many uses in the world of mathematics and algebra.
Curated OER
Graphs and Functions
Pupils are introduced to plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane seen several categories of functions, including lines and parabolas
Curated OER
Graph It
First graders collect classroom data (such as mode of transportation used to get to school) and prepare a pictograph to interpret the information.
Curated OER
Bisecting Angles and Segments
Young scholars bisect angles and segments using a mira. They measure the original angles and segments and the angles and segments formed by bisecting to better see the relationship between them.
Curated OER
Plotting with Pennies
Fifth graders use pennies to gather data, organize and order data, graph the data on a stem-and-leaf plot, and evaluate the range, median, and mode of the data.
Curated OER
You're the Cashier!
Third graders use manipulatives and computers to count back change from amounts up to $5.00.
Curated OER
Icing On The Cake
Eighth graders follow a recipe, focusing on the concepts of ratio and proportion, to mix a batch of icing. They decorate cupcakes in the form of a pumpkin.
Curated OER
Weather Patterns
Students use yearly averages over a five-year period to understand weather trends for a specific area.
Curated OER
Build and Test
Young scholars display what they have learned about bridges as they construct their bridge. They present their projects to the rest of the class. They compare and contrast the construction of the bridges.
Curated OER
Rodeo Round-Up
First graders create a graph of the various teachers' favorite events at the rodeo.
Curated OER
Angles Lesson Plan
Students stud angles, and then play the "What's Your Angle?" game. They complete at least 10 computer generated problems from the Angles Applet.
Curated OER
Area Lesson Plan
Students manipulate a variety of materials and computer applets in order to explore area and the units used to measure it.
Curated OER
Estimation Lesson Plan
Students use four different computer estimation applets with several classroom estimation activities.
Curated OER
Introduction to Bar Graphs Lesson Plan
Learners organize and interpret data using bar graphs.
Curated OER
Probability: Playing with Fire
Students use probability to determine how likely it is for each tree in a small forest to catch on fire.
Curated OER
Venn Diagram Lesson Plan
Students use Venn diagrams in order to classify different objects and numbers. They then use "Venn Diagram Shape sorter" applets on the computer.
Curated OER
Big Foot
Students measure the length of their feet and shoes using nonstandard measurements. They check their estimates and record theirmeasurements on a paper.
Curated OER
ndirect Measurement Technique: Using Trigonometric Ratios
Ninth graders find the height of an object that would be difficult or impossible to measure directly. They construct and use a Clinometer to measure the angle of elevation (or depression). Students create a sketch of the measurement...
Curated OER
Water Quality Data Analysis
Students develop a process for analyzing collected bayou data.
They find the mathematical relationships among various biological factors.
Students, work collaboratively using technology in their data analysis.
Curated OER
Characteristics of Polygons
Fourth graders discuss characteristics of polygons and organize and visualize those characteristics using Kidspiration. Students import pictures that demonstrate the characteristics and save their projects to be reviewed and graded by...
Curated OER
'The Flood'
Students hear the story "The Flood," and take a survey of the favorite pet animals in the class. They take the information complied in the survey and make a bar graph to show favorite pet animals using the computer program KidPix.
