The purpose of this unit is for students to make the rich set of connections between astronomy and the rest of science and technology, language arts, cultural studies (social studies), math, art, and music.

In this statistics worksheet, students solve 2 problems that involving plotting data, recognizing ordered pairs, and analyzing the graphed relationship.

Students practice multiplication playing a game. In this multiplication lesson plan, students pick numbers and multiply them together. Students are awarded points based on which "hive" their answer falls in. The student with the...

Students investigate Koch's Snowflake. In this geometry lesson, students identify the properties of creating Koch's snowflake. They solve problems dealing with fractals and patterns.

Students investigate the properties of Koch's snowflake. In this geometry lesson, students investigate fractals and patterns. They create Koch's snowflake using Cabri software.

Polygons — it's all about the angles. Groups work with dynamic geometry software to find the sum of the measures of the angles of various polygons. After finding the information for several polygons, the groups generate a formula that...

Young mathematicians extend their knowledge of rational numbers on a number line to graph inequalities by first using number cards to compare rational numbers. They finish by using similar reasoning to graph inequalities on a number line.

Teach your class to think outside the box. Scholars use the concept of equality to solve a problem in the assessment task. They determine how to use a scale to identify the one box out of a set of nine boxes that is heavier than the others.

Learners predict, examine and record the patterns in a variety of fruits and vegetables.

Students identify different shapes and patterns. They locate France on a world map and examine the works of artist, Henri Matisse. They discover shapes that are related to Math.

Students practice representing problems found in the real world in terms that can be translated into mathematical expressions. The situations are represented in tables and graphs by students.

Students design original radial art designs.In this radial design lesson, students use compasses and a nature inspired idea to create radial art. Students understand the use of symmetry, balance and design shapes in continual patterns....

Fifth graders discuss the relationship between equivalent fractions, ratios, and proportions. In this fraction lesson, 5th graders answer questions about a punch mixture in order to find the ratio of ingredients.

Young scholars use Geometer's Sketchpad to examine the scale factor when in is applied to the length of a figure's sides. They look at how the scale factor affects the side lengths, perimeter, and area of the figure that result. They...

Students calculate the mileage, gasoline costs, and travel time and costs for a vacation. They conduct a virtual field trip, and create a comparison graph of costs using Microsoft Excel software.

Tenth graders investigate three different sets of data that relate temperature to another variable in the physical world. These illustrate linear, inverse and exponential relationships.

Students investigate patterns of inverse functions. In this algebra lesson, students represent functions with the calculator and on paper. They analyze their data and draw conclusions.

Students identify patterns found in nature. In this algebra lesson, students model situation in nature using fractals. They investigate biological geometric structures and draw conclusion based on geometric concepts.

First graders listen to the book, Piggies, and act out the events of the story with premade puffball pigs.
