Young scholars investigate measurement through the use of literature through this series of lessons.

Students are introduced to basic aerodynamics through a discussion of thrust and drag and a hands-on activity. They examine the forces of thrust, drag, air pressure, aerodynamic shapes and Newton's Third Law Of Motion.

Students research topics on the internet where probability is relevant. Students study statistics and probability concepts by looking at practical questions that arise in professional sports.

Students see how division is used to help solve probability problems. They use tables as data structures where they are used to count outcomes and to compute probabilities. Students use games to help solve probability problems.

Students explore sampling with and without replacement. They explore the effects on the probability of drawing a desired object. Students examine probability and the difference between sampling with and without replacement.

Fifth graders create a reflection of a poygon using a Mira. They discover that a line connecting a vertiex of a polygon and the corresponding vertex of its reflection is perpendicular to the line of reflection. Students create a glide...

In this multiplication of decimals worksheet, students complete 6 sets of problems. The first two sets of ten problems involve whole number computation. The final four sets involve decimal multiplication. There are a total of 59...

Students solve problems using the law of sine and cosine. In this precaclulus lesson, students learn the law of DeMoivre's Theorem and Heron's theorem. They use both theorems to solve problems.

Students solve problems using sine and cosine. In this precalculus instructional activity, students solve word problems using sine and cosine. They identify where it is appropriate to laws of sine and cosine and where to use the...

Students differentiate between parallel and perpendicular lines. In this geometry lesson, students make conjectures and apply it to solve real life situations. They collect data and make predictions based on the data.

Students investigate probability through a game. In this data lesson, students use dice and predictions to explore how probability works.

Students estimate the number of pennies it takes to fill outlines of various basic shapes.

Students recognize patterns in a numerical sequence, create new patterns and predict outcomes to established sequences.

Learners work together to complete a project on probability. In groups, they solve probability equations based on the formula and scenerio given to them in a PowerPoint presentation. To end the lesson, they take a quiz on each problem...

Young scholars explore the concept of probability. In this probability lesson plan, students use a applet that demonstrates chaos and probability of spread for a forest fire. Young scholars also play applets about the Game of Life and...

Students complete problems on normal distribution equations. For this algebra lesson plan, students complete 11 problems out of their text book.

Students solve equations and label it as a function or not. In this algebra lesson, students make a table of values and graph their equation. They identify the domain and range of each graph.

Students collect real data on sound. In this algebra activity, students use a CBL and graphing calculator to observe the graph created by sound waves. They draw conclusion about the frequency of sound from the graph.

Students consider probability problems with unexpected and surprising answers.

Students experiment with Hiker program to practice real world applications of linear functions and develop their understanding of expressions, relationships, and manipulations involved in writing and graphing linear equations in...

Students study the Japanese art of Koi Nabori or carp kites. They create their own carp kites with repeating patterns.

Students compare the price and quality of different kinds of plastic kitchen wraps and then rank them from best to worst. They take into account how well it comes out of the roll, if it seals well, it is tangles, how much weight it...

Fifth graders solve a variety of math problems using division with remainders. They discuss the steps in the dividing algorithm and solve sample problems on the board. Students then solve division problems in teams, participating in a...

Fifth graders utilize input/output tables to help them solve algebraic equations. They incorporate patterns, number sequences and relations to represent and analyze mathematical problems and number relationships using algebraic symbols.
