Roll the dice with this multimedia math lesson on probability. After first viewing a series of three short videos explaining probability, independent events, and dependent events, young mathematicians complete a set...

Students investigate the use of a graphing calculator in solving problems. In this algebra lesson, students solve polynomials problems using a calculator.

Here is really nice set of resources on scientific notation. Eighth and ninth graders explore the concept of multiplying and dividing in scientific notation. In this multiplying and dividing numbers in scientific notation...

Biodiversity refers to the variety of animal and plant species in a specific habitat. With a collaborative activity, the habitat becomes a page from the white pages, and the species are the surnames in the book. Learners calculate the...

Show your shoppers that knowing how to calculate the percent increase or decrease of an item is a handy tool to know when they are looking for a good sale. Use as a quick three example introduction to the topic. The guided practice...

Students analyze data using graphs and equations. In this algebra lesson, students calculate the cost of lumber, convert price per foot to price per piece, solve equations using addition and subtraction and give exact answer when needed....

You're safe, when calculating the odds of stealing second base! Learners compare the rate of a runner to the distance the ball travels, in a instructional activity that explores right triangles and measurement. Full of discussion...

Young scholars calculate the escape velocity of planets in our solar system and use that knowledge to calculate the escape velocity for NGC 2300 group. They then suggest reasons for the escape velocity to be higher than possible given...

High schoolers don't think they need to know about mortgages, but with college and renting soon approaching, fiscal responsibility is necessary. Pupils learn the vocabulary of a mortgage and calculate different home values to determine...

Twelfth graders perform dihybrid crosses and calculate phenotype and genotype ratios. In this series of science lessons, 12th graders explain the process of anodizing aluminum. They research on the benefits and harm caused by resonance...

Here is an excellent presentation on the difference between mixed numbers and improper fractions. Young mathematicians are given a clear definition of each, and the ensuing slides give lots of great practice in calculating these values....

Buying a home, dealing with a lender, securing a mortgage; these are daunting tasks for many adults. Why not teach middle schoolers about this area of adulthood so they are better-prepared to make the leap into home ownership when they...

Experiment with chocolate coating on cookies! What a delightful way to learn about food processing and chemical engineering. Throughout this activity, groups collect measurements and make calculations. They conclude by writing...

Tenth graders define the formula for cylinders and use it to solve real world problems. In this geometry lesson, pupils differentiate between area, perimeters, 2D shapes, 3D shapes, and volume of prisms, cylinders and spheres. They...

Math wizards begin the lesson by comparing and ordering rational numbers. Using a number line, they discover the relationship between the numbers and practice ordering them in the correct way. They also review proper techniques for...

Middle schoolers work with scientific notation and rounding as they determine volume. In this volume lesson plan, pupils attempt to calculate the volume of the planet Jupiter. They use rounding to two significant digits and scientific...

This worksheet belongs to a four-part resource that gathers information from data tables to calculate percentages. The page introduces one problem and shares an explanation to the answer.

Tables are useful for more than just eating. Learners use tables to organize data and calculate probabilities and conditional probabilities. 

Cultivate the tree of knowledge using diagrams with two stages. Pupils create small tree diagrams to determine the sample space in compound probability problems. The lesson uses only two decision points to introduce tree diagrams. 

Environmental science learners examine satellite imagery of temperature, vegetation, precipitation, and productivity. They use these maps to understand how scientists divide the planet into major biomes. As part of a larger unit on...
