Fourth graders play variety of games to help them explain coordinates.

Students apply the substitution process to solve equations with more than one variable. They explore how to use the process and when it should be used.

Young scholars explore numbers patterns and write equations to describe the pattern. They apply the equations to further the patterns.

Students use a NASA website to use a given formula to find acceleration and distance after a specific time and how it relates to engine propulsion.

Seventh graders create a graph of their Christmas gifts. They develop categories, compute fractional and decimal parts for each category, identify the number of degrees to represent each fractional part, and create a circle graph to...

Eighth graders work together in groups to discover linear functions. They are giving a situation and they are to recreate it in their groups. They answer questions to complete the lesson plan.

Students investigate the probability necessary to win the lottery. They view a PowerPoint Presentation, evaluate combinations, calculate lottery probability, conduct analysis of a fair game, and design a lottery to meet various...

Students determine the length and width of leaf samples to the nearest millimeter and the circumference of trees. They participate in a discussion about the importance of collecting specimens carefully. They compile accurate...

Young scholars practice solving systems of linear equations using the substitution and elimination methods. They determine if the system has one, infinite or no solution. Students also graph the linear equations.

Pupils examine the patterns that exist in Pascal's Triangle. They explore multiples and factors. Sudents use an applet to create and color the multiples in Pascal's Triangle.

Students discover patterns and sequences. They use a website to explore patterns and fractals. Students share their discovery of fractals and their patterns with the class. They develop a list of patterns used in everyday life.

Middle schoolers multiply decimals and/or mixed numbers. They explore the effects of multiplying decimals and mixed numbers. They practice estimating answers when a number is multiplied by a decimal or mixed number.

Students examine the concept of sequences. Students create a sequence using varied starting numbers, multipliers, and add on values. Students practice determining the starting values to use in order to produce a desired sequence.

Students explore tessellations as well as various types of polygon. Students examine tessellating patterns in the world around them. Students examine tessellations by creating their own tessellations and completing the included worksheet.

Students examine tesselllations and their geometric properties. They have a better knowledge of polygons, can identify types of symmetry in tessellations. Also students use visulization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling to...

Students are introduced to the notion of surface area and volume. Students review surface area and volume by finding the area of a two-dimensional shape. They practice using the computer to create different surface area shapes.

Sixth graders practice measuring shapes that do not have a common shape. They practice using centimeter grid paper to make the measurements. Students also use estimation skills after measurements are taken.

Fifth graders work to find the fractions that are equal to one another. They use a visual pie graph to show different values. Students are able to see how fractions can look different, yet have the same value.

Sixth graders study addition and subtraction facts. In equal groups, they play a race game to correctly solve addition and subtraction problems. Using a PowerPoint presentation, the teacher demonstrates how to write word problems and...

Fifth graders study place value. After forming teams, they play a game called, "Who Can Line Up the Number." Students observe numbers in expanded form and place representative digits in the correct order.

Sixth graders perform the Order of Operations. Given various story problems, groups of students solve equations requiring division, multiplication, parenthesis, exponents and other mathematical processes. They discuss the order of...

Fourth graders examine the properties of geometric solids. Given geometric figures, they brainstorm observations. In groups, 4th graders identify solids and discuss the physical properties. Each student creates a Venn diagram and...

Fourth graders find the volume of cubes and cylinders. To determine volume, they fill large cubes with centimeter cubes. They discuss the formula used to find the volume of a cube. Students explore why the solution to the volume of a...

Seventh graders conduct an investigation into the design of bridges and their construction. Students design bridges and draw detailed plans. For assessment they construct a model of a bridge that is made entirely of toothpicks. Students...
