Building Paper Bridges
Learners construct a bridge that can hold 100 pennies. In this math instructional activity, students evaluate the strength of their bridges. They predict how much weight a bridge can hold based on its design.
Curated OER
Cartesian Coordinate System
Students research the Cartesian Coordinate System and its many uses in the world of mathematics and algebra.
Curated OER
Can You Dig It?
Students investigate a fossil site and diagram a site map. They role play as paleontologists.
Curated OER
Hibernating Hoopla
Students simulate hibernation with their stuffed animals. They predict the length of time of hibernation and type their math journal entries about sorting, graphing and draw pictures. They read bear hibernation stories.
Curated OER
Introduction to Scatter Plots and Correlation
Students examine the concept of scatter plots. They compare baseball statistics to locate the ones that correlate with winning, and identify the positive, negative, and no correlation in sets of data using MS Excel.
Curated OER
A thousand seconds
Students use seconds, minutes, and hours. They then discuss the size of a thousand. After that they read time in digital or analogue form.
Curated OER
Mean, Median, and Mode
Eighth graders practice using the LIST key on graphing calculators using the proper syntax. They work with the functions of mean, median, and mode in a teacher led lesson and then with a partner on a second data set. They follow...
Curated OER
Rotations
Young scholars discuss the concepts of reflection, rotation, and translation. In this rotation activity, students investigate rotations through examples on an overhead projector. No additional worksheet or student assignment is included.
