Students work with patterns. In this pattern lesson, students find AB patterns in nature and the manmade world. They create their own AB pattern using math manipulatives and visual arts. 

Have the class factor and solve trinomials of integers in the form x2 + bx + c, where b and c are positive. They relate factoring to area and then follow a specific format to factor their trinomials. Tiles are used to help them...

Nested triangles have been created so that they share a common vertex and vertex angle. Learners drag the endpoints of the side that is opposite the common angle to discover the conditions that make the nested triangles similar. When...

Young mathematicians solve composition of functions. They add, subtract, multiply and divide functions and then identify the domain and range of each function. An embedded animation shows three different applications of function...

Students create a project applying their math skills as they discuss energy conservation. In this geometry instructional activity, students define vocabulary relating to the environment and energy conservation. They construct a building...

Students investigate an accident and relate it to math. In this trigonometry lesson, students measure the accident scene, the friction produced, and the speed from the skid marks. They create a poster of their findings.

Students work on vocabulary lesson plans.

Students explore the shapes all around them. In this early childhood lesson plan, students use their creative thinking skills to compare shapes to the form ob objects in their classroom.

Fifth graders problem solve to determine if a fundraiser will be successful in the money raising activity. In this problem solving lesson, 5th graders read a book about fund raising and write down important vocabulary words. Students...

Second graders explore mathematics by participating in a pattern building activity. In this geometric construction lesson, 2nd graders discuss a story problem in which a gate needs to be built from triangles and trapezoids up to a...

Learners explore geometry by participating in a shape rotation experiment. In this symmetry lesson, students identify the term symmetry and a list of other geometry vocabulary. Learners analyze shapes as they are turned 90 degrees and...

Students explore sales journal, purchases journal, general journal, cash receipts journal, and Cash payments journal. They master the online vocabulary activities and then they complete the online chapter quiz.

Learners simplify simple equations. Using a maze game, young mathematicians speculate about the size of different algebraic values and what other equivalent expressions might look like. It is a nice beginning activity for introducing...

Review adding, subtracting and multiplying integers using this activity. Learners play a game using a deck of cards in which the black ones are positive and the red ones are negative. They add, subtract, etc . . . based on the...

Open up your pupils' eyes and minds on dilations. Scholars perform dilations on a trapezoid on the coordinate plane. They compare the image to the preimage and develop generalizations about dilations.

Burgers and salads and sodas, oh my! Scholars use a menu to investigate the Fundamental Counting Principle. They create tree diagrams to illustrate the number of possible choices for each given scenario.

Young mathematicians are introduced to fractions in a unit that helps them to understand parts of a whole.

Does your bank pay you for allowing them to hold your money? The lesson covers three different ways your money can make money. Topics include certificates of deposit, statement savings accounts, and money market accounts.

Does your bank pay you for allowing them to hold your money? Class members investigate three different ways money can make more money. Topics include certificates of deposit, statement savings accounts, and money market accounts....

Your future chefs will appreciate this comprehensive lesson where learners practice operations on fractions using pizza and soup analogies. Learners begin with a pizza analogy that requires the learners to multiply a whole...

Translate, evaluate, educate. Discover how to translate and evaluate expressions. Young mathematicians first review words and phrases that indicate operations and learn to write algebraic expressions from verbal descriptions....
