Twelfth graders apply the formula for finding the area of a triangle to various problems. They work real life problems for finding the area of a bathroom and the cost of tiling it. They play a game, Triangle Bingo, where they match...

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...

Students create a spreadsheet that calculate the amount of concrete needed to pour various concrete forms.

Pupils work through problems in the textbook and teacher-made problems to reinforce the new learning. They turn in practice problems to instructor to be checked for accuracy and evidence of understanding

Students examine the concept of perimeter. Students calculate the perimeter of a random shape on a grid. Students develop a better understanding of the concept of perimeter. Students calculate the perimeter of shapes.

Students explore the concepts of length, perimeter and area. Students develop an understanding of length, perimeter, and area. Students calculate the area and perimeter of random shapes and calculate the area and perimeter of a triangle...

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.

Learners are introduced to the concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation. They practice translating, reflecting, and rotating two-dimensional objects on the coordinate plane. students use computers to learn about the three concepts.

Students are introduced to the Pythagorean theorem. They use three different activities that give students the opportuntiy to observe triangles, and use the Pythagorean theorem and practice different ways of determining areas of...

Students think about several of the concepts from fractals, including recursion and self similarity. They use mathematical concepts of line segments, perimeter, area and infinity are used, and skill at pattern recognition is practiced.

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.

Seventh graders use block letter writing to help classify polygons. They use their own names which helps to keep them engaged during the lesson. Finally, 7th graders play a classification game naming different polygons.

Fifth graders use arrays to show the meaning of multipication in selected situations. They practice using large and small arrays. The instructional activity has numerous activities, which gives students more opportunities to display...

Students investigate concepts of working with fractions. They compare different fractions and put them in chronological order. The quantities are compared as either being larger or smaller also.

Fifth graders examine multiplication. They construct arrays to demonstrate specific multiplication facts. They identify examples and non-examples of arrays. Students use counters to model the commutative property of multiplication.

Seventh graders explore the skill of finding the increase and decrease of a quantity. Calculating the increase and decrease is covered by a percent. The proporition for finding a percent is also part of the lesson.

Eighth graders participate in a lesson that covers the concept of an algebraic inequality. They practice recognizing the symbols used in an inequality and solving them using the methods that are similar to solving equations.

Sixth graders investigate the concept of patterns and how they can occur with numbers and the instructional activity focuses on the occurrance wiht shapes. They complete an activity investigating patterns using a story to set the tone of...

Sixth graders explore three-dimensional objects. Using various objects found in the classroom, they identify faces, edges, and vertices of objects. Students create their own objects. They describe the polydron, telling the faces,...

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...

Seventh graders explore the order of operations. They compare how the values of equations change when the order of operations is not followed. They discuss the order of operations. Independently, 7th graders solve equations. Students...

Students investigate squares. They generate patterns from structured situations and find a rule for the general term and express it using words and symbols. Students generate patterns from a rule and substitute values and formulas.

Fifth graders Apply the symmetry and angle properties of polygons, using symmetry and angle properties of polygons to solve practical problems. They study tessellates and explain why a shape tessellates.

Fourth graders use two different techniques to construct triangles with specific dimensions. They determine how to construct nets for three-dimensional objects focusing on those made with equilateral triangles. They are able to name the...
