Students explore numbers 1-100.  In this cross curriculum literacy and numeration lesson plan, students listen to the book More or Less by Stuart J. Murphy. Students play a game with a partner in which they guess the "mystery...

At a depth of 3,000 m in the ocean, the pressure is 300 times that at sea level! In the activity, individuals predict what will happen to Styrofoam cups submerged 3,000 meters into the ocean. They then convert these units to soccer...

Exactly how fair are the board games children grow up playing? Young mathematicians investigate this questions as they work their way through this five-lesson series on basic probability. 

Bridge the gap between mathematics and Career Technical Education. Pupils research the cost associated with building storage sheds and analyze possible profit. They build scale models and determine if building and selling the sheds is a...

One is chance, two is a coincidence, three's a pattern. Scholars must determine similarities and differences of a regular hexagon undergoing dilation. They look at lengths, angles, areas, and symmetry.

Students create and analyze a weather-related data table and a thematic map based upon information provided.

Make solutions to projectile motion problems magically appear using equations. Pupils watch a clip from a Harry Potter movie and find the length of time it takes for a remembrall to fall into Harry's hands. They use a projectile motion...

Is there more to college algebra than this? Even though the eBook is designed for a college algebra course, there are several topics that align to Algebra II or Pre-calculus courses. Topics begin with linear equation and inequalities,...

Move on into trigonometry. An informative eBook takes the content of a College Algebra course and adds more relating to trigonometry and trigonometric functions. The content organization allows pupils to build upon their learning by...

Given the least squares regression line, interpret the slope and intercept in the context of the relationship between texting and GPA. Although this task is short and looks simple, some subtle points can be brought to light in a...

Students investigate properties of circles. For this geometry lesson, students differentiate between similarity and congruence as they observe polygons. They investigate properties of two and three dimensional shape.

Let's study 2-D shapes! Young mathematicians compare and classify shapes according to attributes. They evaluate shape riddles and predict the shape being described. Here is the website where you can find the...

Third graders explore ratios. For this probability lesson, 3rd graders sort and count M&M's and identify the ratios of different colors. Students use the attached worksheet as an assessment.

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

Students analyze a math database and uncover facts. In this algebra instructional activity, students investigate the lives of famous mathematicians using facts they find about the different authors. They gain a new...

Students calculate the speed, motion and distance of a projectile. In this geometry lesson, students obtain measurements while calculating velocity. They graph their results and make predictions.
