First graders examine the use of number lines in problem solving situations in this series of lessons. They participate in activities in which they move forward and backward on number line on the playground before doing paper and pencil...

For this problem solving worksheet, students solve 4 problems in which a story problem is analyzed; there are shapes instead of numbers. Students choose from 2 choices the correct operation which should be used to solve the problem.

Students explore the concept of geometric patterns. In this geometric pattern lesson, students use Microsoft Excel to explore geometric patterns. Students analyze growth rates of pattern growth. Students create their own patterns and...

Geometry adventurers study circumference of a circle as they listen to Sir Circumference and the Dragon Pi, by Cindy Neuschwander. In groups, they use string to measure the diameter and circumference of circular objects and...

Students use large numbers and learn exponential representation and explain patterns and relations of powers of 2.

First graders find patterns and draw and describe them

Students recognize the pattern established year after year with the special coin dated appropriately

Students recognize squares and find a pattern for counting squares.

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

Learners explore the concept of solving two-step equations. In this solving two-step equations lesson, students watch a short video about solving equations. Learners view a PowerPoint presentation about solving two-step equations....

Students explore the concept of the Pythagorean Theorem.  In this Pythagorean Theorem lesson, students discuss how the Pythagorean Theorem is used in their lives.  Students imagine building a lean-to that is 3 ft. high and 4...

Students investigate the concept of earthquakes and the different types of magnitudes. They research the Richter scale and how it is used to measure the intensities of earthquakes. Students then apply the concept by completing a...

In this activity, students construct a paper weaving using a chart model. They will also learn skip counting with the TI-10 and recognize number patterns in art.

A lesson based on the story, "Oliver's Fruit Salad," where learners explore the concept of proportional reasoning through modeling, student sharing, and questioning. A great introductory lesson for this concept that is sure to engage...

The graph of the water level of a hot tub is presented and students are asked to tell the story of how the water level changes. Explanations of slope and functions accompany the problem.
