Students use logic and reasoning to answer problems. Through interpreting information and results in the context to examine patterns. They examine how to solve the problems using strategy in mathematics.

Students study and research irregular fractals and construct a few based on their research. Students practice pattern recognition skills and plane geometry skills calculating dimensions on the Fractured Pictures activity.

Students practice figuring out how items have been sorted. They also sort buttons in small cooperative groups. They color and sort their own paper buttons and then give their button sort to another student to see if he or she can figure...

Seventh graders gather data to determine the relationships between the base and height of rectangles with fixed perimeters and express the relationships using words and symbols. Students build rectangles with pipe cleaners. They create...

Students build a working definition of regular fractal, look carefully at the concepts of dimension and scale, and are introduced to logarithms. They solve simple exponential equations for the exponent both by trial and error and using...

Students build a working definition of a regular fractal, they measure the concepts of dimensions and scale, they explore the concept of a logarithm and they attempt to solve simple exponential equations for the exponent both by trial...

Students explore the Mandelbrot Set. They are introduced to the concept of a complex number and function in order to motivate the discussion of Julia and Mandelbrot sets. Students investigate fractals and how they are built.

Pupils discuss how numbers increase when exponential growth is occurring. They view a video and compare exponential and linear growth with a graphing calculator.

Students generate patterns from a structured problem, finding a rule for the general term, and expresses it in words and symbols. They then devise and use problem solving strategies to explore situations mathematically.

Eighth graders evaluate statistical equations. They examine data from archaeologists at Jamestown, complete statistical equations using the sets of data, and graph the results.

Middle schoolers define a square and connect this information to a square root. In this square root lesson, students make a chart listing square numbers and their roots.

Students describe, make and compare polygons. In this creating polygons lesson, students identify properties of quadrilaterals and describe common features of two dimensional shapes.

Students explore algebraic concepts using real life situations.  In this equations lesson, students develop strategies to solve missing number problems. Students participate in a board game based on algebraic equations.

Students practice writing names using a Scrabble type activity.  In this letter writing instructional activity, students participate in a name writing game in which they must utilize other student names to spell their own on the...

Sixth graders practice solving math problems by utilizing a data table. In this number sense lesson, 6th graders create a table using the numerical information about a fictitious farm's inventory. Students complete the empty segments by...

Second graders practice the multiples of three as an introduction to multiplying by three.

Students recall basic multiplication facts by writing answers on a wheel form, competing against other teams to finish the wheels. They review multiplication facts on a Spinning Wheels Web Lesson.

Students solve single variable equations. In this missing addend lesson, students solve problems with missing addends. Students create a function box to help study numerical reasoning.

Students explore animals that are endangered. They choose an endangered animal that they would like to keep from becoming extinct. Students create a persuasive presentation to persuade someone to understand why they feel keeping their...

Sixth graders examine triangles in a figure. In this geometry lesson, 6th graders establish a method for counting triangles within a given figure. Students discover that the total number of triangles is the sum of all numbers counted.

Students calculate the sum of the angles of a polygon. In this geometry lesson, students use the interior angle formula of polygon based on the number of sides of the polygon. They identify the missing angle using algebra.

Students solve problems with triangles. In this geometry activity, students analyze shapes to find different triangles. They name the shapes created by putting triangles together.

In this Cyberchase video, Bianca and her friend go camping and soon realize that Bianca has left the food at home. They find a vending machine in the woods, but it doesn't dispense the food that corresponds with the numbers Bianca...
