Students research a famous mathematician and create a presentation of their research. In this famous mathematician research instructional activity, students decide on a famous mathematician that they would like to learn more about. They...

Second graders observe and demonstrate how to differentiate between necessary and unnecessary information as it relates to math word problems. They discuss the stoplight method, read word problems and observe how to use the stoplight...

Although the methods are all scientific, forensic science was started by police officers rather than scientists, who relied on observation and common sense. Young detectives use many tools to solve crimes around the school in a...

They say practice makes perfect. If that's the case then these worksheets will have young mathematicians perfectly solving long division problems in no time.

Ever wonder how long a pair of scissors are? Find out with this simple measuring activity in which pupils use the provided ruler to determine the length of four common classroom supplies.

Dividing large numbers can be a long and frustrating process for young mathematicians, but after completing these skills practice worksheets they'll be masters of long division.

This is not your run-of-the-mill multiplication chart. Going beyond the standard 12 x 12 limit, this resource includes multiplication facts up through 12 x 20, making it great for supporting children as they continue working toward being...

Bring the concept of conditional probability alive by allowing your classes to explore different probability scenarios. Many tasks have multiple solutions that encourage students to continue exploring their problems even after a solution...

Breaking the rules is one thing, proving it is another! Learners expand on their previous understanding of congruence and apply a mathematical definition to transformations. They perform and identify a sequence of transformations and use...

Young scholars create and analyze slope fields. In this calculus lesson plan, students create a visual of differential equations. They use the Ti Navigator to create slope fields.

In this calculus worksheet, students use integration to solve word problems they differentiate between integration and anti derivatives, and between definite and indefinite integrals. There are 3 questions with an answer key.

Learners define accuracy and precision, and differentiate between the two terms, apply the concepts of accuracy and precision to a given situation and correctly apply the concept of significant figures to measurement and mathematical...

In this modeling a planetary nebula worksheet, students use a diagram to calculate the intensity at different radii from the center of the nebula. Students use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine the distance between two points on the...

Mathematicians make representations of fractional parts of a whole and learn that a decimal is another way to represent a fractional part. Understanding is extended by comparing and ordering fractions and decimals on a number line. This...

Students differentiate the pros and cons of different areas. In this geometry lesson, students compare and contrast different sizes based on their area. They put an image to the size of a shape.

Students use an online dictionaries to define key geometric terms. They explore several websites to help them differentiate the terms reflections, translations and rotations as they apply to geometry and then complete an assessment...

Learn how to calculate the length and midsegments of triangles. Students differentiate between similar and congruent triangles. They create a spreadsheet with their findings.

Oh that Pythagorean Theorem is so useful. Learners engage in a 45 minute learning activity that requires them to solve for missing angles and sides of a right triangle. They'll use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the rations of sides and...

Students use scientific observation and inference to examine the Hazen Brigade Monument. In this observation lesson, students review the reasons for building monuments in society. Students then recall monuments they have seen and...

Students measure distances using indirect measurements. For this geometry lesson, students apply proportion and ratios to measure heights of different objects. They differentiate between direct and indirect measurements.

Twelfth graders define and prove theorems using induction. In this calculus lesson, 12th graders differentiate between inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning. They review sigma notations and work proofs by induction.

Students examine hurricanes. In this web-based meteorology lesson plan, students study the relationship between ocean temperature and hurricane intensity. They differentiate between intensity and frequency of hurricanes.

Students differentiate between saving and investing money. In this algebra lesson, students compare different investment options, recognizing the risks and rewards of investing and integrate investing into their financial planning.

Students solve problems by identifying exponential growth and decay and differentiating between patterns, relation and functions. In this algebra lesson, students apply concepts of exponential growth to solve problems.
