Young mathematicians rotate, flip, and sort their way to an understanding of the different attributes of geometric figures. Using transparent yellow and blue shapes, children try to match congruent figures together...

Develop an online newspaper covering the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The class publishes their newspaper on the school's Web site and analyze both primary and secondary sources.

Junior ecologists relate how food chains and food webs route matter and energy through an ecosystem. They trace feeding levels of a food chain or food web through a pyramid of energy. As a reinforcement activity, learners construct three...

Looking for a winter-themed vocabulary activity? Provide each learner with several templates of a snowflake (you need to provide this), and have them write one vocabulary word on the middle of each snowflake. Then, after doing some...

Sixth graders interpret linear and nonlinear graphs. They create graphs based on a problem set. Next, they represent quantitive relationships on a graph and write a story related to graphing.

How do you classify a newly discovered species? Learners view a presentation and complete research about biodiversity and the classification hierarchy. The lesson includes activities with dichotomous keys and work on classifying both...

Learn similarity through a transformations lens! Individuals examine the effects of transformations and analyze the properties of similarity, and conclude that any image that can be created through transformations is similar. The...

Do students really need to be taught how to read cartoons, comic books, and comic strips? Yes. Just as they need to learn how to read other forms of graphic text such as diagrams, photos, timetables, maps, charts, and tables. Young...

There's no place like home. Future home owners investigate the cost of buying a house in the 33rd installment of a 35-part module. They come to realize that the calculations are simply a variation of previous formulas involving car loans...

Is there medicine found in the organisms that live deep below the surface of the ocean? The fifth lesson in a six-part series has learners team up to research bacteria and the relationship it has with nearly every living thing on Earth....

Young mathematicians extend their knowledge of rational numbers on a number line to graph inequalities by first using number cards to compare rational numbers. They finish by using similar reasoning to graph inequalities on a number line.

Ahoy there! A fun computer science lesson challenges pupils to write a program that creates an ocean wave. They then develop stories to accompany their projects. All of this takes place within the Scratch coding program.

In this system of linear inequalities worksheet, students solve 5 problems with the graphing method and are given 2 examples with multiple steps to follow.

Fifth graders complete an integer graphing activity. In this integer graphing lesson plan, 5th graders use coordinate grids to help them complete linear functions and integer graphing.

Learners explore area and perimeter through coordinate geometry using student literature, hands-on manipulatives, and the Internet.

Sixth graders explore geometric figures. In this geometry lesson, 6th graders manipulate properties and relationships of geometric figures to identify objects on the coordinate planes and describe where figures sit on the planes.

Seventh graders practice identifying coordinates by examining a city map.  In this graphing lesson, 7th graders create coordinate directions on an index card and practice locating these locations on a grid.  Students read and...

Students compete in a scavenger hunt to find twenty-two different geometric shapes in natural objects around the school. They practice identification of each geometric shape using a handout then form small groups to search the school...

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.

Seventh graders identify the use of a function.They are asked to describe the input and output of a function. Students also identify different aspects of the coordinate system and represent functions in a visual graph.

Seventh graders explore the concept of the slope of a line. They see how to determine the direction of the line. Also students are introduced to the slope intercept algebraic expression in conjunction with the rise/run.

Students explore measurements of a circle. In this lesson about circumference and radius, students practice calculating measurements of a circle. Students estimate, calculate, and practice with graphing all while learning how to find...

Fifth graders explore the math concept of graphing integers. In this graphing integers lesson, 5th graders examine visual examples. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

Students define a functions and solve problems using functions. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate functions from non-functions. They differentiate between polynomials of higher degrees.
