Fifth graders duplicate patterns, guess pattern results and identify the symmetries created. They are given an instructional handout, 5th graders replicate the patterns demonstrated by folding the paper and punching the appropriate...

Students explore slope as a rate of change. In this eighth grade mathematics lesson, students investigate real-world problems to determine rate of change and transform it into a linear representation, thus determining slope. Students...

This activity focuses in on the structure of an equation and how it compares to another. Young algebraists are tasked with grouping together equations that have the same solution by focusing on the transformation of the equations rather...

Pre-algebra pupils need to understand that two expressions are only equal if they have the same value. Show them that once the expression is multiplied by a number, the value of the expression changes. It makes for a good lead-in to...

Investigate the techniques used in a persuasive argument. Young writers compose a persuasive argument persuading their principal to take their class on a trip to the location of their choice. They then create a persuasive web site.

Students identify, compare, and analyze shapes and numbers. In this analogies and comparison math lesson plan, students warm up by completing 4 worksheets to familiarize themselves with analogies. In small groups, students are challenged...

Learners explore lines, rays, line segments, and planes. In this math lesson, students discuss the math concepts and direct their instructor in graphing functions. Learners collaborate in graphing additional functions.

Kindergartners are introduced to basic shapes. Learners spend 45 minutes a day in geometry centers carrying out the activities outlined in this ambitious plan. There are games, hands-on activities, interactive websites, art projects,...

Students see how to identify companies that likely have high growth potential in the fast-growing industries. They gain experience in finding companies that will be winners for the Global Stock Game

Young scholars will explore frieze patterns. A frieze pattern is a mathematical concept to classify designs on two-dimensional surfaces, which are repetitive in one direction, based on the symmetries in the pattern. They will explore...

In this measurement lesson, learners examine the Pythagorean Theorem, perimeter, and areas of right triangles. They record their measurements and research their findings on a grid.

Students explore the concept of tessellations. In this tessellations lesson plan, students use an applet to construct tessellations. Students use regular polygons to construct tessellations. Students find patterns and symmetry in their...

Students use computer applets to demonstrate three dimensional coordinate planes. In this coordinate planes lesson plan, students play a coordinate game and a maze game.

Youngsters recognize that triangles can be combined together to make various shapes. The learning activity provides a series of seven steps that engage children in applying transformations to triangles. Pupils use a quilt template and...

In this glide reflection worksheet, students draw and answer questions about reflections of different shapes. Students answer 5 questions.

Learners examine how some transformations, such as reflections and rotations, do not change the figure itself, only its position or orientation.

In this transformations worksheet, learners solve and complete 5 different problems. First, they match each equation with the correct graph found on the right side of the page. They also verify the graphs are correct by using a graphing...

In this integration worksheet, students transform antiderivatives and integrals by using substitution functions. They sketch graphs of two antiderivatives and describe their relationship. Students use trigonometric identities to find the...

Students investigate the differences between linear and exponential models.  For this linear and exponential models lesson, students make a table of given data.  Students determine if the data is linear or exponential by...

Fourth graders, after listing the nine planets and their differences, choose one planet as their favorite. From the information acquired on each students favorite planet, they make a graph illustrating their favorites and then transform...

Pupils explore quadratic functions in this algebra lesson. They investigate transformation of quadratic functions using the TI calculator. They use the vertex form for this lesson.

Students explore the concept of logarithms.  In this logarithms lesson, students discuss the logarithm properties.  Students use linear functions as a basis to develop the logarithm properites by substituting log b and log a...

Tenth graders perform reflections on different geometric shapes. In this geometry worksheet,students define the concept of geometric reflections and find the coordinates of the reflection on a coordinate grid.
