Learners demonstrate an understanding of the relationships of the Fibonacci Sequence. They apply the Fibonacci Sequence and find its relationship to a piano keyboard. They explore various relationships between music and the Fibonacci...

Students applied various mathematical analyses to interpret their data. By using the resulting DNA fragment patterns from several enzymes students established a possible evolutionary relationship among the mice.

Students discover for which kind of linear function is appropriate to use the "scatter" or the "connected" term. In this lesson, students investigate functions using variables, patterns book, graph paper, rulers and the graphit program.

Students explore the relationship between the amount of weight that can be supported by a spaghetti bridge, the thickness of the bridge, and the length of the bridge to determine the algebraic equation that best represents that pattern...

Discover how to analyze architecture from a geometric standpoint. The fourth installment of an 11-part unit on architecture first provides a presentation on axis, balance, basic form, formal, pattern, proportion, symmetry, and tripartite...

Creative problem solving is fun and helps kids conceptualize content. They use grid paper, manilla paper, and markers to cut, draw, and show given double-digit numbers as many ways as they can.

Show your pupils that perimeter is linear and area is quadratic in nature with a short assessment task that requests learners to connect the graph and equation to a description about perimeter or area. Scholars then provide a...

Learners use the Frayer model during problem solving. In this problem solving lesson, they examine multiple methods of data collection to solve real world problems. Resources are provided.

Don't leave this task on the shelf — use it is assess middle schoolers understanding of patterns. Participants try to discover a pattern in the number of bricks and planks used to make shelves. They then match descriptions...

It's all about lines when going around. Pupils graph the relationship between the length of a side of a square and its perimeter. Class members explain the origin in context of the side length and perimeter. They compare the graph to the...

Score some problems all related to soccer balls. The first few problems focus on pattern blocks to see relationships between figures. More advanced problems focus on actual soccer balls, the patterns on the balls, and their volumes and...

Examine the relationship between the input and output variables in a table of values. As learners build an input-output table using online manipulatives, they begin to identify patterns. They answer questions about these patterns...

Don't let a little challenge get between your pupils and their learning! Scholars compare two absolute value functions to recognize patterns and use them to build their own functions with outputs that are between the given. They then...

Undo a function to create a new one. The inverse of a function does just that. An inquiry-based lesson examines the result of reversing the variables of a function, beginning with linear patterns and advancing to quadratic and...

Students draw a model of the bunny problem which generates the Fibonacci Sequence, spirals generated from golden rectangles and golden triangles; identify the golden ratio in the human body, and find the Fibonacci numbers in nature.

Learners demonstrate good random sampling techniques for data collection, select and develop graphic presentations of data and analyze the data to solve a problem presented.

Students explore geometry by completing a color puzzle. In this shape identification lesson, students utilize deductive reasoning to complete a Google SketchUp puzzle with trapezoid, triangles and rectangular shapes. Students...

Fifth graders use patterns, models and relationships to solve equations.  In this equations instructional activity, 5th graders define vocabulary for equations and complete worksheets explaining variables and solving problems.

Investigate the case of two negatives making a positive. Pupils fill in a quadrant system to generate the products of integers. They analyze the quadrants to find patterns and relationships to help complete the table values. The teacher...

Students practice finding the sums of two-one digit numbers. In this addition lesson plan, students also record facts onto an addition chart.

Students use a graphing calculator to examine the association between the data points and equation of a linear relationship. They write equations in standard form and then graph the equations using the slop-intercept form. Answer Key...

Youngsters become flexible problem solvers with this challenging lesson. If there are 24 square tables in a restaurant, how many customers can be seated at one time? They can use manipulatives or draw pictures to help them find the...

Provide your emerging mathematicians with the tools to learn as they incorporate auxiliary lines to solve unknown angle proofs in this continuing segment. They decipher information from a diagram to uncover the missing pieces and...

Seventh graders investigate a series of triangles, looking for patterns and generalizing what they have found. They analyze the pattern data and organize it into a table and graph. Students identify the relationship and discover the rule...
