Explore prime numbers. Learners use an interactive 100's chart to identify prime numbers, discuss a glossary of terms, use cards to list multiples of 2,3,4,5, and play a bingo game.

One of the basic properties of inscribed angles gets a triangle proof treatment in a short but detailed exercise. Leading directions take the learner through identifying characteristics of a circle and how they relate to angles and...

Young mathematicians have the hang of graphing with integer coefficients now. Can they generalize what they've learned to equations with variable coefficients? The task asks individuals to verify the solution to the system is (x,y) and...

Investigate multiplication problem solving strategies by working with base 10 blocks. Learners decompose problems with a Merlin the Magician theme. Multiple resources are provided.

Your young physicists analyze the forms of four equivalent exponential expressions representing an amount of a radioactive material in a substance. They show how each expression is equivalent to the others and what aspects of the decay...

Your Geometry learners will collaboratively prove that the tangent line of a circle is perpendicular to the radius of the circle. A deliberately sparse introduction allows for a variety of approaches to find a solution. 

Shuffle the resource into your instructional activity repertoire. Scholars use randomly-generated iPod Shuffle playlists to develop ideas about randomness. They use a new set of playlists to confirm their ideas, and then decide whether...

Connect social studies and language arts using this resource. After studying root words, have learners locate five words from their social studies book that have a prefix, suffix, or root word. This puts a new twist on practicing basic...

Sixth graders participate in a question and answer session to begin their understanding. Students complete a practice assignment using color counters. Students' assessment is composed of using color counters to complete an independent...

Students examine the probability of the various findings in a game and determine the odds of winning. They differentiate between the facts of odds versus probability. Students use higher order thinking skills to explain how a problem is...

Sixth graders practice the conversion of percents and fractions. They focus on the fact of both fractions and percents are part of a whole. In the independent practice the students also work with solving proportions.

Students discover how to divide using mixed numbers. In this division lesson, students demonstrate their knowledge of dividing fractions. Finally, they explore division using mixed numbers.

In this multiplication and division worksheet, students fill in the blank to solve multiplication and division problems. They write combinations of numbers to equal a specified product or quotient. Students solve division problems with...

Students study operations with real numbers using mental computation or paper-and-pencil calculations. They judge the reasonableness of numerical computations and their results. They set up and solve proportions for direct and inverse...

High schoolers determine an appropriate numerical representation of a problem situation, including roots and powers. They determine an appropriate number of digits to represent an outcome. Pupils are asked to determine how many years...

Students describe the characteristics and behaviors of bats. After viewing a video, they explain how bats use echolocation to navigate and how they find their young within a group. They list four misconceptions about the animal and...

Learners collect data from China's population growth and determine the mean, median, and mode from the data. In this data lesson plan, pupils determine probabilities and use them to make predictions.

Students discover the relationships of the lengths of the sides of right triangles and right triangles using a series of drawings on dot paper. They investigate and solve problems of standard (customary and metric units) and non-standard...

There are four irrational numbers that participants need to graph. Pi(π), -(½ x π), and √17 are easy to approximate with common rational numbers. On the other hand, the commentary describing the irrational number 2√2 is not...

Students investigate the surface area and volume of the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas. They calculate the slant height, lateral edge, and diagonal length of the base. Using this information, students explore other areas of the hotel, such as...

Students engage in a lesson that is about the concept of polygons and focuses upon finding the area. They use formulas provided in the lesson in order to solve problems given by the teacher for independent practice. Geometric figures are...

Pupils explore the concept of conditional probability and probability of simultaneous events. In this conditional probability and probability of simultaneous events lesson plan, students roll dice or use and applet to roll dice to...

Students explore the concept of Pascal's Triangle. In this Pascal's Triangle lesson, students use an applet called 'Coloring Multiples' to explore Pascal's Triangle. Students develop patterns starting with various numbers in Pascal's...

Learners explore multiplying fractions and their relationship to parts of a whole. They draw and shade fractional parts to show parts of a whole and fractional parts of a fraction. Pupils also use an Internet site for interactive...
