Students use pattern blocks to create a figure that is described to them and establish a pattern based on the description of the geometric figure. In this pattern blocks lesson plan, students fill out shape and fraction worksheets.

Students use a spreadsheet to find sequences of numbers. In this algebra instructional activity, students find the values for c of a quadratic written in standard form. They relate the behavior of the graph to the values of the equation.

Learners identify the end behavior of polynomial graphs. In this algebra lesson, students factor and solve quadratic and complex equations. They factor out negative roots and identify the real and imaginary parts of an equation.

Students use fractals to analyze nature. In this geometry instructional activity, students work in groups using technology and math to communicate. They identify where in the real world fractal can be seen.

Students examine various "spaces" (including ones that are one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional). For each space, they will examine what it means to have or not have an edge, or to be finite or infinite.

High schoolers explore the concept of coordinate proofs. In this coordinate proofs lesson, students write coordinate proofs using properties of distance, slope, and midpoint. High schoolers discuss why it is sometimes beneficial to...

Learners, after reading an explanation from a NASA Web site, demonstrate an understanding of the text by writing an essay that applies the information found in the slides to a real-life question.

Students demonstrate an understanding of the text by completing a propulsion activity, charting the results, and answering questions that demonstrate an understanding of rocket propulsion.

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. Students also develop a better understanding of lines, planes, angles, and polygons.

Seventh graders examine congruence postulates and apply knowledge to triangles in the world around them.

Pupils explain the cause of and effects of fluid shift in a microgravity environment. Students identify the effects of microgravity during long duration space flight. Pupils describe research on cardiovascular effects in microgravity are...

Students read the Mark Twain short story, Encounter with an Interviewer. They study "the interview" and discuss the role of the interviewer and the person being interviewed. They conduct mock interviews, constructing questions and...

Learners form logical foundations for analysis of observations. They improve analytic reading abilities through practice. Students investigate the foundations of scientific thought processes and how to apply them.

Students identify and categorize knowledge needed to design an experiment. They observe, recognize and describe the motion viewed. They document any changes caused by various solutions.

Students review the days of the week and tell what the current day is by singing a song. They fill in the sentence telling the day of the week it is and then discuss what day yesterday was and the name of the day tomorrow and then talk...

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

Use these teaching tips from the PBS Kids Lab to help children make sense of problems and persevere in solving them, determine the unknown whole number in an addition or subtraction equations, use addition and subtraction within 20 to...

This lesson focuses on using logical appeals in persuasive speeches including inductive and deductive reasoning, inductive reasoning and associative reasoning, forming a rational appeal, and errors in reasoning-formal and informal.

This lesson focuses on structure and logic including types and purposes of essays, organizational patterns, argumentative writing, and logic and fallacies.
