Students evaluate the impact climates have on the building of structures. They research the different types of materials used to build houses in various climates and build small models of houses which are tested against different climates.

Students examine state practice test exams questions.  In this secondary mathematics exam, students receive instructions for downloading state practice exams, using the test item banks with the TI-Navigator system, and view sample...

 In this Integrated Algebra worksheet, students solve problems that reflect the topics covered during the course of work.  The answer key identifies each question by standard and topic.  The twenty-four page worksheet...

Challenge the class with inscribed circles in triangles. The assessment task requests class members use their knowledge of circles and right triangles to prove two triangles are congruent. They go on to utilize their knowledge of...

In this math review activity, learners calculate the mean, median, mode, range, line segments, angles, and standard deviation for number and word problems. Students complete 11 problems.

Students investigate the benefits of dance and participate in dances. In this dance lesson, students investigate a number of dances such as square dancing and clogging that are native to Appalachia. They use math concepts to determine...

It takes a strong foundation to build a house and a stronger one for a bridge. This resource presents the effects of geology and soil on bridge foundations. Working in groups, the class investigates the interaction of shallow and deep...

Guide multiplication lesson plan instruction with a formative assessment. Mathematicians are given two multiplication problems to solve and represent using the area model, equal groups, repeated addition, and word problems. Following the...

Young scholars solve quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson, students factor and graph linear and quadratic functions. They identify the standard and linear form of each equation.

In this place value worksheet, students convert each number that is shown in pictures, expanded, or word form into standard form. Students also write the place of the underlined digit in a four-digit number and write its value.

In this customary weights instructional activity, students solve 13 problems in which the weights of objects are estimated, ordered and converted. All are standard units of weight.

Find the best protein-packed cereal. The short assessment task covers equivalent and comparing ratios within a context. Pupils determine the cereal with the highest ratio of protein. A rubric helps teachers with point allotments for...

What does similarity have to do with the Pythagorean Theorem? The activity steps through the proof of the Pythagorean Theorem by using similar triangles. Next, the teacher leads a discussion of the proof and follows it by an animated...

Is it a right triangle or not? Introduce scholars to the converse of the Pythagorean Theorem with a lesson that also provides a proof by contradiction of the converse. Pupils use the converse to determine whether triangles with given...

Examine the application of the Pythagorean Theorem in problem-solving questions. Pupils apply the theorem to find lengths when given different scenarios. They finish the 17th installment in an 18-part series by applying the theorem...

Prove the Pythagorean Theorem using multiple informal proofs. Scholars first develop an understanding of the origins of the Pythagorean Theorem through proofs. They round out the activity by using the theorem to find missing side lengths...

An inquiry-based algebra instructional activity explores real-world applications of linear functions. Scholars investigate four different situations that can be modeled by linear functions, identifying the rate of change, as...

Investigate exponential growth and decay. A set of six activities has pupils collecting and researching data in a variety of situations involving exponential relationships. They model these situations with exponential functions and solve...

There's no need to think outside the box for this one! Scholars measure the length, width, and height of various boxes. Results help develop the formulas for the surface area and volume of rectangular prisms.

The probability is high learning will occur! A well-designed unit introduces learners to the concepts of independent, dependent, and mutually exclusive events. Using Venn diagrams, the lessons ask learners to analyze many different...

Students investigate scores as they relate to race. In this algebra lesson, students analyze standardized scores and how race can affect these scores. They plot their findings on a graph and draw conclusions.

Students examine the calculator. In this math lesson, students use the directions to learn how to use a calculator. Students apply the knowledge and solve problems using the calculator.

Students build and create using math. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between congruent and similarity as they observe polygons. They create robots with different functions using properties of geometry.
