Students use coordinate graphs in order to identify objects and their locations. They are shown how to plot the x and y coordinates and then are given values to be plotted during guided and independent practice. Students are assessed on...

Twelfth graders explain basic information concerning financial investments. They identify consumer rights and responsibilities and effective practices for purchasing consumer goods, services, housing and insurance. They list steps in...

Learners explore the concept of fractions. For this fractions lesson, students perform basic operations such as addition and subtraction with fractions. Learners play a game on the computer called 'Fraction Four' that gives students...

Think outside the box and use an engaging, interactive app that shows the relationship between square roots and squares using an actual square. Pupils find that moving a slider increases the side length of a square and its associated area.

Watch as your learners reach even loftier heights of understanding. Individuals use a slider to estimate the height of a person whose height is given in radical form. Rationalizing the denominator comes in handy here.

Shake up your lessons with with a radical resource. Scholars use a slider to view the Richter scale magnitude and amplitude of historical earthquakes. They use powers of 10 to compare the amplitudes of different earthquakes.

Learning about tangents doesn't have to be a slippery slope. Pupils drag a point around a unit circle to see how angle affects the slope of a line. They individually answer a set of challenge questions to come to the conclusion that...

Drawing triangles is easy, even if you have to calculate the exact length of its sides. Scholars use the Law of Cosines to find missing sides of triangles. An interactive helps them check their answers.

An identity that thieves can't steal  the tangent identity. Scholars manipulate ratios to investigate the tangent ratio and connect it to the sine and cosine ratios. An interactive that uses color coding helps with this task.

The more you know, the more you can learn. Scholars apply the double angle and half angle formulas to determine trig values based on known values. They use an interactive that provides sine and cosine values to aid calculations.

Slide the resource into your lesson plans. Young mathematicians use a slider to move a movie screen to the right position for optimal viewing. Along the way, they learn to apply the half angle formulas.

Don't lose your marbles. Scholars use an interactive to create a triangle that closes off a portion of a sidewalk with loose marbles. The Law of Sines helps them find the side measures of such a triangle.

This thorough introduction to the concept of subtracting negative integers walk learners through the necessary steps using teacher modeling and guided practice. Number lines and various word problems are used to support understanding of...

Work on the concept of using division with integer powers. The skills of using exponents and multiplying powers should be in place before attempting this lesson. The lesson provides examples for the teacher to use for direct instruction.

High schoolers investigate harmonic conjugates using Cabri Software or the Ti Calculator to analyze harmonics. They explore different angles measurements as they move their circles around and solve problems.

Students design a ship. They calculate square footage and draw their ship to scale. They build models of their ships.

Students explain how to solve an algebraic word problem using correct grammar and punctuation.  In this math and writing lesson, students are given a word problem and must write down  directions to solve it. 

Students practice using a different type of measurement each day. They complete data sheets to record their information. They practice estimating the weight of an object as well.

In this points, lines, planes, and space worksheet, learners solve word problems dealing with points, lines, planes, and space. Students complete 20 individual problems and 20 group problems.

Young mathematicians explore number values by utilizing food as a visual aide. They discuss the differences between halves, fourths, and eighths and how they are visually represented by a pizza. Then create their own pizza in class and...

Students explore probability by using games based on probable outcomes of events. They name all of the possible outcomes of an event and express the likelihood of such an event occurring.

How much gas does it take to drive around town? The class uses a variety of mathematical procedures to take a look at the use of gas for transportation. Class members use a different unit to determine the cost of driving a car as opposed...

Working in small groups students develop three alternative boat designs. They discuss the rationale for the type of hull, propeller, location of ballast, and type of building material used in their design. They build their boat.

Scholars create and perform experiments attempting to answer Buffon's Coin problem. They discover the relationships between geometry and probability, empirical and theoretical probabilities, and area of a circle and square.
