Students look around classroom and identify any patterns they see, describe patterns and explain why they are patterns, use pencil to demonstrate arithmetic patterns by tapping, practice predicting patterns by using Function Box, and...

After an introductory activity to demonstrate the theory of a limit, additional activities approach a limit from graphical, numerical, and algebraic methods. The activity looks at the multiple ways of understanding and evaluating a...

Domain can be a tricky topic, especially when you relate it to context, but here is a instructional activity that provides concrete examples of discrete situations and those that are continuous. It also addresses where the input values...

Young mathematicians extend their knowledge of rational numbers on a number line to graph inequalities by first using number cards to compare rational numbers. They finish by using similar reasoning to graph inequalities on a number line.

Use this activity on cross-sections of three-dimensional shapes in your math class to work on algebra or geometry Common Core standards. The instructional activity includes a list of relevent terminology, and a step-by-step process to...

Examine parts of an expression in this algebra lesson plan. Ninth graders identify the properties of the coefficient and their behavior to the graph. They graph the equation on a TI to see their results.

Undo a function to create a new one. The inverse of a function does just that. An inquiry-based lesson examines the result of reversing the variables of a function, beginning with linear patterns and advancing to quadratic and...

Many problems in life have more than one possible solution, and the same is true for advanced mathematics. Scholars solve seven problems that all have at least two solutions. Then three higher-level thinking questions challenge them to...

Learners explore the realms of measurement. In this math lesson plan, students analyze and solve problems in which rectangles with identical perimeters are compared to maximize or minimize area. This lesson can be extended for algebra,...

Sixth graders practice solving math problems by utilizing a data table. In this number sense lesson, 6th graders create a table using the numerical information about a fictitious farm's inventory. Students complete the empty segments by...

Students investigate different geometric patterns. In this geometry lesson, students create different shapes using toothpicks. They create different patterns and designs and complete a charts using different measurements.

Fourth graders explore patterns by participating in a class math activity. In this early algebra lesson, 4th graders utilize a die and chart to keep record of a snake game in which students must utilize a math function to solve a problem...

Students identify, extend, and create patterns of sounds, physical movements, and concrete objects. They brainstorm patterns found in the classroom. Students use mathematical attributes to identify patterns and predict what comes next.

Adjust this lesson to fit either beginning or more advanced learners. Build a scatter plot, determine appropriate model (linear, quadratic, exponential), and then extend to evaluate the model with residuals. This problem uses real-world...

Seventh graders investigate a series of triangles, looking for patterns and generalizing what they have found. They analyze the pattern data and organize it into a table and graph. Students identify the relationship and discover the rule...

Eliminate all doubt when it comes to sentence structure with nine thorough lesson plans. Whether you want your young writers to vary their sentence structure or shore up their knowledge of conjunctions and semicolons, these lessons are a...

In this algebra worksheet, students rewrite a word problem using algebraic symbols. They create a table to figure out what rooms should be painted first and in what order. There is an answer key to this problem.

Students investigate motion using a CBL. For this algebra lesson, students collect and graph data on a coordinate plane. They define and identify amplitude and period of conic graphs.

Young scholars collect and analyze data using a graph. In this algebra lesson, students explain their findings orally and with a graph. They use their knowledge to solve real life scenarios.

Students solve word problems using the correct math symbols. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI calculator to graph their equation and analyze it. They find the line of regression and use to draw conclusion.

Students collect data on investments and draw conclusions. In this algebra lesson, students analyze exponential graphs as they relate to money. They discuss the cause of an account balance being high or low.

Students create a collect data on expenses. In this algebra lesson, students create a spreadsheet to solve scientific equations. They incorporate math, science and technology in this lesson.

Students play a game and collect data for their graph. In this algebra lesson, students solve quadratic equations and identify properties of their graph. They describe the pattern created by the graph and the game.

Students identify the different systems of equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students solve systems of equations using graphing, elimination and substitution. They use the Ti to graph their systems.
