Something for young mathematicians to remember: the sum of any two sides must be greater than the third. Class members investigates the Triangle Inequality Theorem to find the relationship between the sides of a triangle. At the same...

Students create non-linear, user-directed presentations in a presentation software application. They create, using Powerpoints, tutorial movies using the topic of solving a math story problem.

Learners review the parts of a circle, calculate the circumference and area of a circle, and create student-made tests on the geometry of circles using educational software.

Students identify and use appropriate formulas to find surface areas of solid figures, practice using formula sheet to solve textbook problems, construct solid figures of given surface area using TABS+ software program, and use Internet...

Pupils investigate inscribing a circle in a triangle. They use Cabri Jr. to draw a triangle, locate the incenter, and use the distance from the incenter to a side of the triangle to inscribe a circle. The dynamic nature of the geometry...

Students use Coin Critters software to practice coin recognition. Students complete a printing project for the cover of Valentine cards and use monthly calendars or a hundreds chart to count by 5's and 10's. Students use KidPix to create...

Eighth graders draw right triangles and identify the parts of a right triangle: right angle, interior and exterior angles, hypotenuse and legs. They predict and identify any relationships that exist between the sides of a right...

Pupils examine the centroid of a triangle as they use Cabri Jr. to construct a triangle and its medians. The dynamic nature of the software allows learners to measure the lengths of the segments in the triangle and conjecture and verify...

Students create tessellations with computer software while applying their knowledge of reflections, rotations, and translations.

Learners explore geometric concepts using technology. They manipulate the TI to find important math topics. This activity requires a TI-84 or higher.

Young scholars utilize computer programs to operate a simple robot.  In this technology lesson, students create robots using Lego pieces and simple motors to move them.  Young scholars measure the speed of the robots by running...

Learners use an animation program plan and create a short animation movie showing what they have learned in math or any other curriculum area.

Students collect snow samples around their school. They explore the concepts of density and phase change as well as the math skills of measurement and statistics. Students explore the water cycle through an interactive, down loadable...

Third graders observe and demonstrate a variety of problems involving subtraction problems using mental math strategies. They discuss the base ten system and the basic concept of subtraction, and complete a variety of activities...

Students practice telling time by reading a children's story.  In this time keeping lesson, students read the book The Very Grouchy Ladybug by Eric Carl, and create a schedule for the ladybug to complete certain activities....

Students using a Flash unit create a scene for the fish to swim about in. They create a fish using various software tools of their choice. Students then animate the fish across the screen. They develop a background scene, draw a fish...

Students become aware of pollution in Richfield Minnesota's Wood Lake, identify sources of pollution in Wood Lake, learn to use variables, equations, spreadsheets and modeling software, and generate solutions for the problem.

Learners calculate the sides of right triangles in this trigonometric ratios lesson plan. They use Cabri Jr. software and TI-83 or TI-84 calculators to find the side lengths and their ratios to each other for various triangles. The...

Young scholars learn that maintaining financial security takes a good math understanding. In this lesson, students apply mathematical formulas to make important financial decisions like getting the right loan to buy a house, decide which...

Students analyze midsegments of triangles in this lesson. They use Cabri Jr. software to observe the relationships between interior angles and midsegments of triangles. Specific instructions for creating this lesson in Cabri Jr. are...

Third graders compare numbers. In this math lesson students compare ones, tens, and hundreds. They also order numbers from least to greatest and from greatest to least.

Third graders utilize different types of computer programs, such as Microsoft paint and Microsoft Word to study and create different types of polygons. They use PowerPoint to create a story about a shape and others that it meets during a...

High Schoolers investigate the question of whether or not the area of square can be trisected. For this lesson, they use geometry software to answer the questions and determine what conditions are necessary to the three regions to by equal.

Third graders explore math functions by completing problem solving activities. In this division lesson, 3rd graders utilize the division strategies acquired earlier to divide multiple digit numbers by 4's. Students complete problems on...
