Fifth graders at this age are very interested in the adventures of knighthood and life in the past, so the unit will serve as a basis for teaching skills while maintaining high interest.

High schoolers create a picture of an actual scene or overlap the called out lines or shapes into a space-breaker. If someone calls out a line or shape a student had not planned to use in the art, they have to figure out some way to use...

Students build a working definition of regular fractal, look carefully at the concepts of dimension and scale, and are introduced to logarithms. They solve simple exponential equations for the exponent both by trial and error and using...

Students are introduced to plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane seen several categories of functions, including lines and parabolas

First graders work in pairs to create a class big book for months of the year. They work together to create a detailed version of their month that includes any special holidays and activities.

Fifth graders use the Celsius and Fahrenheit thermometers to compare temperature readings. They use the Internet to find the temperatures of selected cities. After data is collected for five days, 5th graders graph the temperatures.

Fifth graders define the meaning of similar and congruent using concrete objects. They make similar and congruent figures using geoboards. They draw their figures on dot paper, and color their designs.

Eighth graders investigate the Pythagorean Theorem and practice applying the theorem to various triangles. Finally, in the next lesson in the sequence, 8th graders create a song or a story to help them remember the Pythagorean Theorem.

Students participate in a hands-on activity that shows the independence of perimeter and area for simple irregular figures.

Young scholars recognize methods used to define the mole. After converting various quantities to the mole, students provide a context for understanding the usefulness of scientific notation and the mole.

Sixth graders play a powerpoint jeopardy game. This can be used as a test or as a way to review information. This is a culminating test for our unit on Ancient Worlds. The jeopardy game is based on goals in math, language arts, and...

Students find the area of rectangular solids and cylinders by cutting them into flat pieces and adding the areas.

Learners use CERES percent coverage surface data with a world map in locating landmasses and bodies of water at Earth's Equator.

Learners estimate and accurately measure the size of angles communicate with the appropriate geometric terms and symbols to describe and name angles, lines, line segments, rays

Students listen to a story "My Crazy Dream" with an intent to identify shapes in ordinary objects. They raise their hands when they've heard an object whose shape they can identify. They discuss their findings.

Eighth graders find the length of the third side of a right triangle.

Seventh graders compile a table of the revenues of the 8 eateries (a combined total), Main Gate admissions, and the Gift Shop.

Students study the design elements of Art Nouveau, its sources and development. They create art projects in ceramics and glass that exemplify the focus of Art Nouveau as a decorative style.

In this unit of lessons, students make sense of the Census. They examine why a census is taken and participate in activities.

Students make a rocket out of paper. They follow the given instructions and test to see if it will fly. They write about the experiment and are given the opportunity to change their varibles to make their rocket work.

Students use satellite tracking software to monitor different satellites. They predict and graph the motion of the space station. They create a 3-D display of its path and share it with the class.

High schoolers discover that four special segments have a common intersection point. They identify the position of the intersection point in triangles. They produce conjectures about areas of the divided triangles.

Sixth graders explore probability. They analyze a class chart and list the letters of the alphabet according to frequency. Using the data collected, they complete probability problems.

Sixth graders study the probability of single events. Given a bag of marbles, they discuss and find the probability of single events. In groups of two, 6th graders complete additional activities, predicting the probability. Students...
