Students investigate simple linear functions by trying to guess a function rule from inputs and outputs. They write the function rule in algebraic form.

Fourth graders examine about traditional quilting patterns, the symmetry in such patterns, and practice creating patterns of their own. They design a quilting pattern, and groups make colorful "patches," of a pattern. They assemble the...

Fourth graders define and identify fractions. They draw a fraction with the correct number of equal parts, shade a specified number of parts, and write a fraction based on information from a variety of story problems. Students observe...

Sixth graders determine appropriate scales when graphing data. In this graphing lesson, 6th graders use an the applet "Graph It" to determine what is an appropriate scale for their data.

Students explore the concept of using consumer data and statistics to aid in the consumer decision making process. In this consumer data and statistics instructional activity, students research consumer data and statistics. Students...

Students use candy and pizza to identify concepts associated with fractions. They work together in groups to create fractions. They complete a worksheet individually to complete the activity.

Students sort medications by likeness and use. They compare and contrast using a Venn Diagram, and find the differences and commonalities of over the counter and Rx medications.

Young scholars explore the physical aspect of a slope. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph a slope and write an equation for a slope. They identify slopes of zero, negative lines and positive lines.

Students create a scrapbook. In this geometry lesson, students use digital cameras to take pictures of geometrical concepts. Students use the pictures to create a "Geotown" scrapbook.

Sixth graders create word problems. In this sixth grade mathematics lesson plan, 6th graders use digital cameras to photograph interesting events around school and create word problems for their photographs that address the key concepts...

Pupils sketch the nets for given polygons and cylinders. In this geometry lesson, students find the measurements that correspond with prisms, cones and cylinders. they identify parts of three-dimensional shapes.

Students use compasses and grids to map the locations of artifacts found in a simulated dig site. In groups, they role-play as future archeologists excavating a school site. Groups begin at their assigned datum and site the artifacts...

Students explore tessellations as well as various types of polygon. Students examine tessellating patterns in the world around them. Students examine tessellations by creating their own tessellations and completing the included worksheet.

High schoolers examine tesselllations and their geometric properties. They have a better knowledge of polygons, can identify types of symmetry in tessellations. Also students use visulization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling...

Students examine ways to extend their budget with coupons. In this budgeting lesson, students read information about using coupons at the given website. Students make a list of 30-50 products they use in their homes and use online...

Students design a new classroom workplace. In this architecture lesson, students use area formulas to identify the problem with the existing desks in their classroom. Students design their own solution volume formulas to solve the...

Fifth graders see the nutritional value of rice. In this healthy eating lesson, 5th graders view the Food Guide Pyramid and the number of servings one is supposed to eat in each food group. They focus on rice and its benefits for the body.

Students explore Newton's laws using CEENBoTs. In this physics lesson plan, students collect data and create tables and graphs. They calculate speed, acceleration and forces using mathematical formulas.

Students develop strategies for adding and subtracting fractions. They search for and generalize patterns.

Students sort and categorize different types of boxes and cartons. In this sorting lesson, students designate areas of the room to put different sizes, styles, or colors of boxes. They help their teacher count and graph the different...

First graders add doubles numbers in number sentences. For this doubles numbers lesson plan, 1st graders list things that come in pairs, create doubles addition sentences, and solve riddles with doubles.

Students practice formulating a hypothesis and designing an experiment to test the hypothesis. They identify several sampling techniques they can use to test their hypotheses.

Students sing a song (to the tune of The Twelve Days of Christmas) that helps reinforce their counting skills.

Fourth graders design their own letter graph, and then produce the resulting graphs after a translation, reflection, and rotation. After a review of vocabulary, 4th graders create their graphs using crayons.
