This lesson introduces the idea of slope and defines it as a numerical measurement of the steepness of a line. Pupils then use the definition to compare lines, find positive and negative slopes, and notice their definition holds for...

Two online lessons, one in math and one in language arts, are here for you. In them, learners play online games which reinforce important skills in literacy and numeracy. The thing I like about both of these lessons is that they get the...

Learners solve linear equations. By observing the graph of each side of an equation using the TI-nspire graphing calculator, your class gains insight into solutions, as well as balancing equations and transforming linear equations....

Change up the classroom atmosphere with this interdisciplinary resource. Following along with the children's book Mr. Slaptail's Curious Contraption, these math worksheets provide practice with a wide range of topics including...

In this using a ruler worksheet, students utilize a ruler to measure the length of four objects and then choose four small objects from their desk to outline and measure.

Learners of all ages investigate area and perimeter through pentominoes. In this geometry lesson plan, learners calculate the are and perimeter of different geometric shapes and describe the properties of similar and congruent shapes....

Determine the right mix of cans of cat food. The resource consists of an assessment task to determine the cost to feed two cats for a specific number of days and requires scholars to interpret remainders within a context....

Why do I have to do bean counting if I'm not going to become an accountant? The 24th installment of a 35-part module has the class conducting experiments using beans to collect data. Learners use exponential functions to model this...

Seventh graders review graphing procedures and practice locating points using x,y coordinates. Students calculate the areas of the top and bottom surfaces of the airfoil. They construct a test model of the airfoil.

What would be a fair fare for a taxi? to answer the questions requires young mathematicians to analyze data on fuel prices and taxi cab fares. They determine and justify a fair fare price.

Research various types of bridge designs. Your class will be asked to consider what it would be like without bridges while learning about how they work. They will construct a model bridge based on given parameters. They then calculate...

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...

Second graders take a field trip to a nearby church or other historical building and examine it from a mathematical perspective. In groups, they calculate the seating capacity, describe the window patterns, differentiate types of...

Matrices help solve systems of equations in chemistry, computer graphics, circuitry, probability, and more. The second lesson in a seven-part series focuses on using matrices to balance chemical equations. Pupils rely on the Law of...

In this math skills activity, students solve a variety of basic math problems such as solving for "x" in different types of equations, manipulating algebraic expressions, converting from ordinary notation to scientific notation and...

There is more than one way to measure an amount, as learners discover by applying multiple measurement tools in these activities. Centimeter cubes, cylinders, beakers, and measuring cups are used to find the volume of regular and...

Students investigate topology. In this Applied Science instructional activity students explore higher, more abstract mathematics using tangles. Students make topologically related shapes.

Fifth graders get to practice the skill of doing operations that are inside parentheses first when solving a mathematical equation. There are 30 problems for learners to solve. Each of them gives pupils a chance to practice this...

Work through a sequence in discovering number patterns. Using the interactive, pupils explore arithmetic and geometric sequences by setting the initial value and the common difference or ratio. Learners distinguish between the two types...

No height? No problem! Learners use their knowledge and a little help from GeoGebra to develop the Law of Sines formula. The Law of Sines helps to determine the height of triangles to calculate the area.

Force your way to a better understanding of vectors! Pairs of young scholars work together to apply the right amount of force to move an object along a straight line vector. They use calculations to determine the magnitude and direction...

Here is a worksheet that belongs in a four-part resource that has learners practice using data tables to calculate percentages. The page has ten problems with different data tables asking to find different...

It's no secret that being able to competently use a calculator is an important skill. In this math lesson, young mathematicians learn how to use the counting constant function on their calculators to explore patterns and relationships...

This resource is the last of a four-part series that practices calculating percents based on data represetned in tables. This page has four multiple choice problems that analyze the data tables to answer a question.
