Fifth graders engage in a lesson which offers informational how-tos for conducting research on the Internet. Three search engines are introduced and used to gather information to solve a specific problem.

Students explore biome data. In this world geography and weather data analysis instructional activity, students record data about weather conditions in North Carolina, Las Vegas, and Brazil. Students convert Fahrenheit degrees to Celsius...

Students, while in the computer lab, assess how to use Microsoft Excel as a "graphing calculator." They view visual representations of line graphs in a Cartesian plane while incorporating basic skills for using Excel productively.

Students produce original tessellations, using equilateral triangles where three unique symmetrical faces rotate, use shape, pattern/repetition, and color to create a striking composition, and create "beasties" inspired by bestiaries of...

Students are able to identify the characteristics of a variety of graphs (i.e. bar graph, line graph, pie graph, scatter plot, population pyramids, etc.) They recognize how the type of data to be presented plays a role in choosing the...

Sixth graders estimate angle measures and angle theroms. In this online interactive geometry lesson, 6th graders review types of angles, investigate angle theroms, and explore nonadjacent angles.

Students learn that maintaining financial security takes a good math understanding. In this lesson, students apply mathematical formulas to make important financial decisions like getting the right loan to buy a house, decide which...

Students collect and graph data. In this statistics lesson, students analyze data using a spreadsheet program. They display their data effectively and analyze it.

Students explore websites and the included PowerPoint presentation to gain a better understanding of mean, median and mode. A weather worksheet is included for in-class work and assessment.

Learners explore the volume and surface area of three dimensional figures. Through the use of video, students discover three dimensional shapes, their uses in real-life applications, and methods used to calculate their volume and surface...

Second graders practice counting by 2's and 5's. They complete five math problems counting by 2's and five math problems counting by 5's. They play a game by typing in a number that belongs in an egg and play By Five's to a 100.

Learners use technology to determine the shortest between two points in a plane. They are required to support their analytic explanations with visual illustrations.

Students develop their geography skills. In this Lewis and Clark lesson, students collaborate to calculate the time and distance of different segments of the expedition. Students compare their estimate to Lewis and Clark's.

Students linearize data to determine if an exponential model is suitable. In this linearizing data to determine if an exponential model is suitable lesson plan, students graph the residuals of sets of data that appear to have an...

Students explore the role of government in the economy market. In this economics activity, students analyze the decision making and how it takes into consideration additional cost, benefits and public awareness of what they are trying to...

Learners calculate the perimeter of rectangles and squares. They imagine trying to build a fence around a yard or trying to determine how much paint they need to paint a room. They also develop formulas and procedures for determining the...

Students explore basic Excel spreadsheets.  In this spreadsheet lesson plan, students enter Alaska weather information and  perform calculations. Students title the columns on the spreadsheet and format the cells. ...

Here is one of the better lessons I've come across on how to teach fractions and decimals. This lesson does a great job of showing how these two mathematical representations of numbers are interrelated. Some excellent websites, printable...

Nano-nano! Nanotechnology can seem like it's from another planet! After learning about this tiny technology, collaborative groups experiment with how smaller particles affect chemical reactions. They do this by immersing a whole and a...

Ancient people used musical pipes as early as the third millennium BCE. Young scientists explore the workings of musical pipes to better understand the relationship with frequency, length of pipe, and sound waves. They determine the...

Seventh graders review the steps in writing a math problem. They write story problems stating the situation, the problem to be solved, explaining the process used to solve the problem, and state the answer. Students view a PowerPoint...

Students explore the concept of similarity and congruence. For this similarity and congruence lesson, students identify and verify whether or not two figures are similar, congruent, or neither. Students use postulates and theorems such...

Students explore the concept of similarity and congruence. In this similarity and congruence lesson, students cut out strips of paper and form a triangle. Students try to prove that their triangles are congruent using the SSS theorem of...

Students explore similar figures. In this surface area and volume lesson, students identify the relationship between the surface area and volume of similar figures.
