In this electric circuit worksheet, students answer a series of 16 questions about logarithms and how they are used in understanding analog circuits. This worksheet is printable and the answers are viewed on-line.

Students build knowledge about the number relationships between decimals and percents as it relates to converting decimals into percents. In this decimal and percent lesson, students recognize equivalent forms of fractions,...

Third graders review the life cycle of a frog. They use the computer to research specific information about their frog and write a descriptive paragraph using the information obtained on the computer. They access websites imbedded in...

This is how long we mow the lawn together. The assessment requires the class to work with combining ratios and proportional reasoning. Pupils determine the unit rate of mowers and calculate the time required to mow a lawn if they work...

Scholars find a pattern from a geometric sequence and write the formula for extending it. The worksheet includes a table to complete plus four analysis questions. It concludes with instructional implications for the teacher.

It is positive that how one performs on the first test relates to their performance on the second test. The three-question assessment has class members read and analyze a scatter plot of test scores. They must determine whether...

Set your pupils up to start on geometry by teaching them some introductory terminology. Pupils learn the terms by reading a short passage and looking at examples. They then respond to five questions related to the text.

Scholars show what they know about data collection and analysis with an activity that examines a smaller population of Houghton, Texas. Independently or in pairs, learners identify their research question, gather, graph, and analyze...

Students brainstorm about math they do every day, and explore relevant web sites to find definitions of "numeracy." They then explain relevance of the definitions of numeracy to their own instructional practices.

First graders solve number sentences. In this problem solving lesson plan, 1st graders construct addition sentences using a part part whole mat. Students demonstrate problem solving strategies using cubes.

Second graders study subtraction facts. In this mathematics instructional activity, 2nd graders discuss how to solve two digit subtraction problems. Students recognize that there are many different methods or strategies one can use such...

Sixth graders investigate scale models of toys.  In this scale models of toys lesson, 6th graders bring in toys from home to measure.  Students discuss scale and what scale is used with their toys.  Students determine the...

Students examine examples of budgets and explore the difficulties of living on a budget. The hands-on activity offers an opportunity to experience a real life application.

Students explore geometric shapes.  For this kindergarten geometry lesson, students create a fall quilt consisting of three different paper geometric quilt squares that when assembled form a scarecrow, a pumpkin, and a crow. ...

Learners define fractals and patterns. They explore how a seemingly random process can result in a pattern. Students practice probability and fractions skills by playing the chaos game online.

Seventh graders determine whether two triangles are congruent and provide an explanation to why they are not. They apply concepts of measurement of angles and collect evidence of congruent angles in the world.

Eighth graders compare objects to large numbers. In this algebra lesson, 8th graders compare large numbers to daily objects. Relate large numbers to the real world by discussing the Holocaust and the number of people who lost their lives.

Students expand their knowledge of quadrilaterals and identify basic symmetrical forms. Over three weeks, they explore the math, application, and discussion of symmetry. After conducting Internet research, students create symmetrical...

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...

Students explore basic probability.  In this Algebra II/Geometry lesson, students use modeling to solve basic probability problems involving real-life applications. 

Eighth graders investigate modern-dance choreographer Merce Cunningham's historically significant contribution to dance-making history. Specifically, 8th graders explore and practice Merce Cunningham's choreographic use of chance...

Sixth graders use ratios to solve unit problems. Pupils write ratios in three different ways. In groups, they perform a bean activity, find ratios, and write them in simplest form.

Students calculate the slope of parallel and perpendicular lines.In this algebra activity, students differentiate between parallel and perpendicular lines. They graph their lines using the slope of the equation.

Learners find the slopes for perpendicular and parallel lines. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between parallel and perpendicular lines. They use Cabri software to create lines to compare.
