Did you know scientists can tell the age of an asteroid by looking closely at its craters? This final activity of a six-part series focuses on two asteroids, Gaspra and Ida, in order to demonstrate the concept of dating asteroids....

Your bakers might not realize that they need to know how to add with unlike denominators in order to figure out how much milk they need for a recipe. In order to make brownies and cookies, this lesson teaches how to find a common...

Lead your high school class on a journey through the world of symmetry and reflections as you discuss geometric principles. Pupils differentiate between reflections and rotations, explore rotational symmetry, and investigate how to...

Don't forget the tables! The previous lessons in this five-part series examined the linear equation and graph relationship. The current lesson adds tables to the mix. At completion, individuals should be able to create a table of values,...

Geometry in life-sized dimensions! Using enlarged graph paper, pupils perform a series of transformations. By recording the initial and final placement of the images, they are able to analyze the patterns in the coordinates during a...

Who wouldn't want to wear four pairs of sunglasses? Each pair of sunglasses reduces the percent of incoming light by one-half. An interactive tutorial helps young mathematicians build a graph that models this scenario. They...

Not all resources are created equal — and your class benefits! Scholars learn how to solve one-step inequalities using inverse operations. They complete an activity matching inequalities to their solutions.

Gain a little interest in functions with a real-life task. Young scholars analyze home loan data with a geometric sequence and series. They use the models to make predictions about the total loan payments at certain intervals in a...

In this shape patterns learning exercise, students identify the patterns in the 10 problems. Students then draw in the missing shapes to complete the patterns.

Students show their knowledge of properties of objects as it pertains to sorting and creating patterns. In this food pyramid power instructional activity, students show their ability to use whole numbers in different representations by...

Learners create their own number patterns to reinforce their understanding of the concept of patterns. They also search for the unexpected guests in each other's patterns.

Students work with attribute buttons in order to sort, create, and analyze patterns. Students practice identifying patterns and verbalizing the sorting rules and patterns they used. Sample assessments and rubric are provided.

In this math worksheet, students read the discussion about the importance of games. They create a game as directed. They also read the rules for the Pascal Triangle.

In this identifying multiples worksheet, students observe lists of numbers and identify certain multiples. In addition, they create their own multiple list and explore patterns in each multiple sequence. This one-page worksheet contains...

Investigate the various properties of the number six with this elementary math lesson. From simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems to the creation of hexagonal tessellations, this lesson covers all aspects of...

Which numbers are multiples of 9? Task class members to find the first ten multiples of 9 in a straightforward assessment worksheet.

Circles are the foundation of many geometric concepts and extensions - a point that is thoroughly driven home in this extensive unit. Fundamental properties of circles are investigated (including sector area, angle measure, and...

Allow your pupils to become the mathematicians! Individuals explore the properties of a midsegment of a triangle through construction and measurement. Once they figure out the properties, learners use them to draw conclusions.

Students work with patterns to develop formulas that will help them determine total cost. In this patterning lesson, students watch a video about an NBA trainer. (not included) They work in groups to access the assigned Internet websites...

The 12th segment in a 25-segment series looks at the division of integers and how the signs of the dividend and divisor affect the sign of the quotient. Pupils start with multiplication and division facts of whole numbers and create the...

Round and round you'll go! Learners watch as different-sized circles fill with coins. They collect data and then make a prediction about the number of coins that will fit in a large circular rug.

Can a domino knock over a skyscraper? An inquiry-based lesson asks learners to calculate the size of domino needed to topple the Empire State Building. Using specific criteria and a geometric model, they find a solution.
