Students investigate geometric shapes by creating figures on a plane. In this polygon lesson, students complete a worksheet based on the angles in a power polygon. Students identify the different types of polygons and define their...

Students observe a pendulum and graph their observation. For this algebra lesson, students use the TI calcualtor to graph the motion the pendulum makes. They analyze the graph and make predictions.

Learners collect data on population growth. In this statistics lesson, students graph their data and make predictions. They find the linear regression and the best fit line.

Young scholars find number patterns in the generation of several different types of fractals.

Students explore the concept of fractal patterns. In this fractal pattern lesson plan, students use an applet about the Hilbert Curve to answer questions about rectangles and other polygons. Students derive the fractal pattern when...

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

Young scholars explore the concept of irregular fractals. In this irregular fractals lesson, students discuss how to find fractal dimensions through teacher led discussion. Young scholars calculate fractal dimensions of various fractals.

Third graders use a number of problem solving strategies in this unit of lessons. They determine how to draw and model three-dimensional objects, use co-ordinate systems, determine probability of events, and identify paths of simple...

Students describe, make and compare polygons. In this creating polygons instructional activity, students identify properties of quadrilaterals and describe common features of two dimensional shapes.

Learners study the nature of a satellite's orbit around the Earth.

Seventh graders examine the process of constructing a site plan map at archaeological sites. They discuss the process of mapping techniques and calculation of percentages, create a plan site map of a cellar at Jamestown, and calculate...

Fourth graders use math software and geoboard paper to design basic shapes. They write individual definitions for the geometric shapes based on what they see in the shapes. They apply their background knowledge of the shape as they write...

Students explore movement and position concepts. They follow directions using left , right, up, down, North, South, East and West. Students draw and follow a path on a grid to show a route followed. They label and follow legends on a map.
