Give mathematicians some guided practice in calculating mean averages. They use examples as guides before completing four different sections to build on this skill. First, learners determine the mean of eight pairs of whole numbers....

In order to better understand how to locate a plane of symmetry in 3-dimensional objects, learners create a dance. The class reviews dance and math symmetry, then they practice making symmetrical shapes and movements with a partner....

Data encryption is an important security measure for sensitive data stored on computers. Pupils learn how to utilize matrices for creating code. They also get a great review of matrix multiplication, inverse matrices, and the identity...

Why is that graph wider? Pupils learn about stretching and shrinking graphs of square root, absolute value, cubic, and quadratic functions. They study both vertical and horizontal stretches and shrinks in addition to reflections. 

Given a value of one trigonometric function, it is easy to determine others. Learners use the periodicity of trigonometric functions to develop properties. After studying the graphs of sine, cosine, and tangent, the lesson connects...

Study Islamic achievement in mathematics by exploring the six standard forms of equations. High schoolers will review the six forms of equations of Al-Khwarizmi. They solve equations using different forms. Links and resources are...

Learners identify obtuse and acute angles in comparsion to a right angle. They identify obtuse, acute, and right angles. Pupils use "Shape Measure" to construct obtuse, acute, and right angles. They review line segements to locate right...

Young mathematicians compare two fractions with like denominators and then move to the next level to compare fractions with unlike denominators. They will first try to use mental math to make educated guesses. There are a few guidelines...

What a great classroom resource! The intention of this lesson is to show that real-world math can and should be applied to the community in which your high schoolers reside. The class relates properties of equations to solving for...

Field trip! The class will review what they know about organisms that dwell in freshwater ponds, then trek down to the old water hole to collect specimens for examination. This includes several web links, useful tips, and an excellent...

Once scholars have a grasp on adding fractions, it's time to throw some mixed numbers into the equation! Each of these 14 addition problems has one mixed number and one proper fraction. Skills here include finding a common denominator,...

Master bigger, smaller, and shape names with an all-inclusive kindergarten worksheet. Young learners study the shapes on the left side (circle, rectangle, triangle, and square), and draw bigger versions of each. They then color their new...

Multiplication on the fly becomes easy with the magic of estimating! Scholars round numbers up to four digits to complete multiplication problems without a calculator. They write in the new factors and the approximate product for the...

With a few extra numbers, these fact families would be complete! After looking at an example, scholars write in the sums and differences for six equations as part of three different fact families. This is really for beginners to this...

Finding factors requires practice and a logical system, so help scholars develop this skill with these problems. They write out the factor list for 9 two-digit numbers and then circle the factors from a list for four more numbers....

Where is the line of symmetry? Learners begin by drawing in a line to split three images evenly in half, using an example as reference. Encourage them to think about physically folding the picture to solidify this concept. Next, they do...

As scholars become more confident with their multiplication facts, give them some two-digit practice problems to solidify their skills. They solve 30 vertically-aligned problems, regrouping where necessary. All of these have one 2-digit...

Those are some long numbers! Scholars write number-form digits in word form and vice versa. The first eight are six-digit numbers and the next eight are seven-digit numbers. There are two examples to get them started. Remind scholars to...

How are bar graphs and pictographs different? As you begin this concept, use these simple graphs to help get learners started with data analysis styles. There is one bar graph and one pictograph, each accompanied by four or five...

A basic subtraction worksheet can help your second graders improve their problem-solving skills. Seventeen problems prompt learners to subtract two-digit numbers from two-digit numbers. None of the problems require carrying, so this...

Measure the temperature of your math class with a temperature-based lesson on adding and subtracting rational numbers. The thermometer serves as a vertical number line for learners as they work together to solve a temperature change...

Review basic probability concepts with your class using different-colored marbles in a bag. Then pair up learners and have them play a cool online interactive game in which they race miniature cars using the roll of a die or...

Students study the concept of addition. They create verbal number stories with numbers from one to five. They draw a slice of bread with a line down the middle and cut the bread shapes out of a "slice of bread" and a handful of raisins,...

Students understand how they can incorporate dietary guidelines in their daily life.  In this investigative lesson students set dietary goals and incorporate an activity to learn how to create a new seed variety while studying...
