Second graders distinguish the difference between pounds and ounces and arrange manipulatives from heaviest to lightest.

Students compare and order objects according to length. They see that to conserve length, meaning that the length of an object is not altered by a change in its spatial position, even though it may appear to look longer or shorter than...

Students discover the centroid of a triangle based on Euclid's constructions. They explore locus of points of a median. They understand properties of the segments that form the median and areas of the smaller sections formed by the median.

Sixth graders identify the x and y axes in a coordinate plane and identifies the coordinates of a given point in the first quadrant. They plot specific points in the first quadrant of the Cartesian coordinate system.

Students investigate equations that are in the standard form of a quadratic equation represented as Y=ax2+bx+c. They factor the equations into linear factors to determine the x intercepts. The graph is also used to determine the x...

Students participate in a variety of activities to learn about apples. Students graph apples, learn about apple uses, taste apples, and observe what happens when apples are dipped in lemon juice.

Students explore spreadsheet software.  In this personal finance and computer technology lesson, students develop a vacation spreadsheet on the computer.  Students represent hotel, food, transportation, and entertainment costs...

Students research one of the simple machines listed in the lesson plan and review several simple machine websites to complete their research. Students use software and a watch a video to learn more about machines. Students create a...

Scholars identify how the TI-89 implements phasors to perform sinusoidal steady-state analysis. The focus is on how to enter and display complex numbers. They also show how a typical steady-state application how to use the Numeric Solver...

First graders practice nonstandard measurement and estimating and measuring lengths of objects.

Third graders conduct experiment, collect data, predict, record, and discuss outcomes, and analyze data for probability.

In this business and statistics worksheet, students read real-life business problems, arrange data, and identify the probability method best used to determine the answer. They identify the type of random sample, draw stem-and-leaf plots,...

Learners explore two- and three-dimensional shapes.  In this very busy spider lesson plan, students read the story and then create a spider web pattern of their own. The webs must use a symmetrical pattern.  Additional...

Students take the derivative of a function. For this calculus lesson, students define slope fields and what they are used for. They relate slope fields to the real world.

Students complete an on line, teacher created, webquest to study the origin of probability, theoretical and simulated probability; computing the probability of two independent events; and mutually exclusive events. They make a Venn...

Eighth graders explore the concept of the divine proportion/golden ratio. In this Fibonacci Sequence exploratory lesson, 8th graders measure the length and width of various objects to see which items have a divine proportion. Students...

Middle schoolers explore the concept of the golden ratio. In this golden ratio lesson, students measure objects to determine if their measurements fit the golden ratio. Middle schoolers calculate the average measurements of the class.

Students practice and review fractions in a game format.

Second graders examine how to make and read bar graphs. For this bar graph lesson, 2nd graders compare bar graphs to pictographs by looking at hair color survey data. They practice making a bar graph and finding the range of the data.

Learners complete measurement activities. In this measurement instructional activity, students watch online clips about measurements. Learners view items and discuss taking measurements of them. Students discuss what units of measurement...

Seventh graders collect data and make predictions. In this geometry lesson, 7th graders work in tiers collecting data and plotting it. They make inferences and predictions about their collected data.

Sixth graders explore probability. They analyze a class chart and list the letters of the alphabet according to frequency. Using the data collected, they complete probability problems.

Students participate in a variety of treasure hunts to promote critical thinking skills. In these problem solving lessons, students go on a photo hunt, scavenger hunt, clue hunt, and map hunt, looking for specific treasures.

Students create leaf print banner for parents' night. They sort, classify, and pattern the leaves as they work.
