Second graders decipher a pattern using input and output. In this functions lesson, 2nd graders use input and output numbers to find a pattern involving addition and subtraction. Students use the pattern they discovered to help solve...

Students are introduced to the problem and brainstorm ideas for approaching the problem and keeping track of what has been done. They work in pairs and share their answers, explaining their reasoning.

Students explain proportions as it relates to principle and interest. They use proportions to explain relationships and analyze relationships by identifying patterns.

Seventh graders discover that there are multiple strategies to be used in problem solving. They explain a problem solving situation in their own words and determine a possible strategy for solving the problem.

Young scholars explore circular functions. They identify the amplitude, period, phase shift and vertical shift of circular functions. Students analyze phenomena described by sine waves and they find mathematical models for transforming...

Eighth graders investigate the Pythagorean Theorem and practice applying the theorem to various triangles. Finally, in the next lesson in the sequence, 8th graders create a song or a story to help them remember the Pythagorean Theorem.

Ninth graders investigate the concept of relations and interpret graphs and tables. They analyze given data and look for a pattern to determine if the numbers represent a function. Students practice solving scientific word problems that...

Students calculate gasoline cost per mile on a virtual field trip. They calculate the gasoline costs and travel time for each of the 2 routes, and record on a data sheet. They use Excel to create data tables for mileage, gasoline...

Students explain and understand the circulation of air in the atmosphere. They identify that energy can be carried from one place to another by heat flow or by waves, including water, light and sound waves, or by moving objects. ...

Students use satellite images to track to movement patterns of deer and examine deer behavior. They write stories about a day in the life of a field scientist.

Learners discuss definitions of estuary, salinity, and the salt front. They listen as the teacher explains the Hudson River Miles and ways the upriver and downriver sections relate to the north and south. Students graph the salt front...

In this drawing worksheet, students copy a number of shapes and then practice drawing the shape in the box provided at the bottom of the worksheet.

Pupils use regression methods available through technology to select the most appropriate model to describe collected data and use the model to interpret information. They use numeric techniques to write the equation of a line that...

Students identify, describe, count, tally, and graph life found in one square foot of land.

Second graders solve number sentences and examine how to apply basic operations of mathematics to those problems. They also use symbols to represent unknown numbers and how they are used in equations.

Students read an explanation from the NASA Web-based "textbook", The Beginner's Guide to Aerodynamics, then use the information in combination with data from other Web sites to solve single variable equations for distance (range), time,...

Students review the standards for Algebra I. Using the text, they discover two problems that match each standard and solve them showing all steps on paper. They create a PowerPoint slide for each problem and go through the correct...

Fourth graders collect data, graph their data, and then make predictions based upon their findings. They's interest is maintained by the interesting way the data is collected. The data collection experiment is from the psychology work of...

First graders review peacemaking strategies by identifying their capacity of creating and promoting peace within their classroom, home, community, and world. Fractions are introduced through the making of a "peace pie."

Students compare and contrast related two- and three-dimensional shapes, and complete a Venn diagram illustrating the attributes of each. Using a poem pattern from another lesson, students use data from the diagram to write an attribute...

Students investigate the concepts related to the practice of multiplication facts. They look for number patterns in order to create an algorithm in order to find the correct sequencing of number patterning. The solutions are then...

Students apply data from a weather-related website to predict patterns in the sunrise and sunset.

Students generate patterns from a structured situation, find a rule for the general term, and express it in words and symbols. They also devise and use problem solving strategies in a systematic way.

Students analyze the measurements of rectangles. For this analysis lesson, students will investigate patterns by looking at ratios. Students will also hypothesize the probability of a ball going into a certain pocket when playing pool....
