Can you add variables if you don't know their value? Using an empty number line, scholars first locate the position of the difference, sum, product, and quotient of two unknown integers. Later problems mix operations as well as add...

It's more than just numbers on a line, its an organizational, mental math machine to help learners understand the value of numbers. The tool is handy when introducing positive and negative integers to see their values and...

Teach your class to think outside the box. Scholars use the concept of equality to solve a problem in the assessment task. They determine how to use a scale to identify the one box out of a set of nine boxes that is heavier than the others.

Pupils multiply positive and negative integers. They represent word expressions with both positive and negative integers and then multiply them. They also create multiplication problems to solve as a class. They create a rhyme, a story,...

Socratic questioning to teach Euclidean geometry? "The Nouns of Geometry," followed by "The Verbs of Geometry," and the misfit, "A Beginner's Story - The Equilateral Triangle" are designed to encourage learners to explore various...

Class members investigate relationships between two variables in the seventh installment of a 16-part module that teaches scholars how to find and describe patterns in scatter plots. Young mathematicians consider linear/nonlinear...

Introduce starting space scientists to the electromagnetic spectrum, expecially the portion of visible light. Teach them about wavelength and frequesncy. Then give them a roll of adding machine tape and a manila folder to make a...

You'll have no regrets when you use the perfect lesson to teach regression! An interactive resource has individuals manipulate the slope and y-intercept of a line to match a set of data. Learners practice data sets with both positive and...

Building on knowledge from the previous lesson, the second lesson in this unit teaches scholars to identify and interpret rate of change and initial value of a linear function in context. They investigate how slope expresses the...

A unique approach to reviewing number lines and how to locate different values on them, this learning exercise poses several questions that require written answers rather than calculations. You could use this as a note-taking guide when...

Young scholars practice problem solving skills. For this early childhood education lesson, students foster the ability to use creative and critical thinking to turn obstacles into bridges to greater learning as they complete various...

Students explore negative and positive integers on a number line. They review a newspaper to determine careers that use positive and negative integers. In groups, they read and answer questions on "Lifestyles of the Rich and...

Students explore the idea that primitive virtual 3D objects can be reshaped to infinitely original combinations using additive and subtractive methods. They create 3-D objects with a computer which necessitates a cooperation of...

Ninth graders explore the concept of a simple equation. They use addition and subtraction in one step in order to find balance to both sides of the equation. Students are encouraged to succeed using positive praise at the beginning of...

Students make sensible estimates and check for reasonable results. They also solve problems with positive and negative integers using practical activities or models as needed.

Student Teachers are given the opportunity to examine how to use a computer-based laboratory for inquiry. The practice is done to teach future teachers how to use these tools so they can be ready for use in the classroom environment.

Sixth grade students: design a stained glass window, submitting their initial plan detailing the measurements of all lines and angles. Seventh grade students: create a scale drawing of their own geometric family of four members.

Take your study of coordinates online! Groups of students complete an online graphing introduction, plotting the points of virtual objects. A worksheet is included for extra practice.

Students investigate where in their everyday life math is used. In this algebra lesson, students describe linear transformation as it relates to business and sales. They relate area and perimeter to their yard or garden, as well as...

Here is an online lesson plan on data representation. In it, learners access websites embedded in the plan which lead them through a variety of activities around data representation and statistics. The activities are quite good, and...

Seventh graders investigate some concepts associated with geometric shapes. They study the bisector segment and the perpendicular line to a given line. Students conduct analysis with the goal of deepening observation and deduction...

Sixth graders estimate, calculate and collaborate with students. They practice refusal skills.

Students learn the characteristics of economic systems through problem solving, communication and representation. In this financial lending lesson, students use math to solve problems dealing with the economy today, to work with their...
