Second graders write and solve word problems related to career stories.

Students collect data from measurements and weights for this experiment. In this algebra lesson, students analyze graphs they create form their data to find the expression representing the data. They label which graph provided the best...

Students explore the stock market. They choose a company and research the company's financial report. Students select 4-10 stocks and become an advocate for one stock. Using spreadsheet software, students compare stocks. They analyze...

Students use the Pythagorean Theorem to explore sailboat design. In this Pythagorean Theorem lesson, two sides of a triangular sail are measured, and the theorem is used to calculate the third side. A worksheet, bulletin board design,...

High schoolers learn how a business starts and finds financial independence. For this lesson, students learn the struggle of financial management, the costs of running a business and how to keep a budget.

Second graders investigate the concept of developing a budget. In this financial awareness lesson, 2nd graders read the book The Case of the Shrunken Allowance and brainstorm ways they can save and budget money. Students create their own...

Students explore the concept of linear regression. For this linear regression lesson, students do a Barbie bungee activity where they collect linear data. Students plot their data using a scatter plot. Students determine a line of best...

Second graders identify number patterns. For this number lesson, 2nd graders find the rule or pattern in a group of numbers and continue the pattern using the rule. They create their own number pattern by making their own rule. 

In this airplane worksheet, students build airplanes out of paper and test their accuracy while flying them. Students build 6 planes and fill out test logs to go with them.

Learners use specific dimensions to create a box. In this geometry lesson plan, students analyze the different properties of two and three dimensional shapes. They make conjectures and use it to solve problems.

Students consider probability problems with unexpected and surprising answers.

Fifth graders use captured portions of the Internet ("mininets") to perform research into climate. They create graphs of the data recorded using latitude as the independent variable and temperature as the dependent variable.

Aspiring statisticians create tree diagrams and figure probabilities of events based on those diagrams. They practice adding and multiplying fractions and explain complementary probabilities. Students use computers activities to make...

Fifth graders investigate the concept of finding the circumference of a circle. They demonstrate why the formula works with a hands on experiment. There is detailed instructions for carrying out the technical portions of the experiment.

Students analyze height and collect data to create a graph. In this statistics lesson, students use central tendencies to analyze their data and make predictions. They apply concept of statistics to other areas of academics to make a...

Students play a memory game as they explore reasoning. In this algebra activity, students identify concepts using pictures and words. They model real life scenarios using hands on manipulatives.

Learners construct two bell curves using two different yet related objects. For example, two kinds of Hershey's Kisses (plain and almond) or two kinds of dried beans (kidney and lima).

Students explain normal distribution of a measurable characteristic within a group of objects. They create two graphs (one for each type of Hershey's Kiss) with increments of measurement on the X-axes and number of measurements on the...

Eighth graders use colored candy pieces (such as M & M's) to compare mathematical expectations and experimental probability. They pick pieces of candy randomly, and graph their results. This classic instructional activity never fails...

Students observe and solve examples of equations involving radicals. They complete a Doing Battle With Radical Equations worksheet and checklist.

High schoolers practice solving quadratic equations using a form called Complete the Square.

Eighth graders research box plots on the Internet. They gather real life statistics and analyze the collected statistics by making multiple box plots on the TI-83 calculator.
