Eighth graders use ratios and proportions to solve real-life problems.  In this using ratios and proportions to solve real-life problems lesson, 8th graders estimate the cost of a road trip.  Students estimate the distance...

Twelfth graders examine the process to rent and buy homes.  In this Economics lesson, 12th graders study the obstacles people have when trying to find a home.  Students participate in a simulation on housing.  

Students use Heron's formula to calculate the area of a triangle. In this geometry lesson, students use three different methods to solve the area of a triangle. They find and construct the incentor and angle bisector of a triangle.

Young scholars calculate distance and proportion of objects. In this algebra lesson, students define proportion and how it is used in math. They solve the problem through guided instruction.

Students collect real data on sound. In this algebra activity, students use a CBL and graphing calculator to observe the graph created by sound waves. They draw conclusion about the frequency of sound from the graph.

Middle schoolers explore number sense by completing math function problems in class. In this integers lesson, students define integers and practice plotting them on a number line. Middle schoolers utilize math functions such as addition...

Students practice finding the sums of two-one digit numbers. In this addition lesson plan, students also record facts onto an addition chart.

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

Learners calculate the area and circumference of a circle. In this geometry lesson, students solve word problems with circles and create formulas to calculate the area. They find the rate and complex area of a circle.

Middle schoolers explore expected value, are introduced to the concept of varying payoffs, and have used a computer simulation of a "real world" example where expected value is used

Young scholars create an illustration of how to solve math problems. They use appropriate resources for solving the problems. Students have to demonstrate how drawing diagrams and using pictures can help them by using KidPix. On Slide...

Learners calculate percent increases (or percent decreases) for the top 25 companies in terms of advertising dollars spent during a year.

Second graders use a number line to practice subtraction.  In this subtraction lesson, 2nd graders use a number line to count backwards.  Students participate in mad math activities and solve problems.

Young scholars investigate the first Peter the Mint Eagle, who lived at the Philadelphia Mint from 1830 to 1836. They determine how many months Peter was there and use pictures, numbers, equations, and/or words to explain how they came...

Young scholars randomly select dimensions for three geometric shapes (square, right triangle and circle). From the graphs they compare and contrast the graphical results of each shape.

Students manipulate Hudson River salt front data from October 2004 - September 2005 to locate the high and low points of the salt front for each month, They determine the range for each month, determine the modal range for each month,...

Students analyze the multiplication facts from zero to ten in the ten lessons of this unit. The concepts of mental multiplication and solving word problems are important components of this unit.

Pupils practice planning budgets as they create a budget for ten employees of a company to attend a professional convention. They use the Internet, and spreadsheet software to complete their assignment.

Pupils describe the mark/recapture method used to estimate fish populations. They explain the importance of being able to predict population numbers.

Learners participate in a challenge to construct a rotation sensor with the highest degree of accuracy and repeatability. They conduct computer analysis of their sensor using repeated trial.

Students practice single operation arithmetic ranging from single digit addition to long division of decimals or real numbers using Graphit. They use data sets and rules to graph ordered pairs.

Students calculate the amount of greenhouse gases they produce in a given day. Using an equation, they determine the emissions for different sized vehicles and calculate the amount resulting from a family vacation. They create a class...
