Seventh graders discover the difference between theoretical and experimental probabilities by designing their own problems and testing them. After conducting their own coin toss trial, they compare their results with an Internet...

Tenth graders identify the trigonometric ratios for right angled triangles. Through independent investigation, they discover the constancy between the ratios of any two sides of similar triangles. In an alternative method, 10th graders...

Young scholars create different angles and shapes by using different lengths of straws. In this geometry straws lesson plan, students glue straws onto paper and define what they have made.

Students recognize the fractional values of window panes as part of the whole window. In this window panes lesson, students listen to a story about window panes and sing a song. Students look at pictures of windows and write fractions...

Students create quadratic equations and factor out to find the roots. For this algebra lesson, students watch a short video on how to factor trinomials. They are taught two methods and given the option to use either method.

Fifth graders determine the meaning of mean, median, mode, and range. In this measures of central tendency lesson, 5th graders show their ability to find the mean, median, range, and mode of a data set. They use a class set of birthday...

Fourth graders study the multiples of seven. In this multiplication lesson, 4th graders sing a song to the tune of "Skip to My Lou" to memorize the seven times table facts.

Students research the impact of craters. In this range, mean, median and mode lesson, students complete an experiment with a marble to simulate the effects of a crater. Students collect and analyze data finding the range, mean, median...

Fourth graders create and solve sports-related word problems.

Students are introduced to the scientific method by hypothesizing, counting, analyzing and concluding which company packs candy more reliably - Skittles or M&Ms.

Students investigate data collection and analysis.  In this Algebra I instructional activity, students create a scatter plot and find the equation of best fit in a simulation of a leaking water pipe.

Learners measure stuffed animals with various materials such as dog biscuits, paper clips, and yarn. In this measurement lesson plan, students measure the stuffed animals, and understand the concept of long and short and big and little.

In this recognizing fractions and percents worksheet, learners reduce fractions to their lowest terms and convert them to percents of whole numbers with decimals. Students solve 10 problems.

In this finding the percent of whole numbers worksheet, students calculate the percent to problem solve. Students solve 10 problems.

Learners use formulas to find the area of geometric shapes. In this measurement lesson, students create a table of formulas for finding the area and perimeter of various shapes. Learners read the book Eight Hands Round, and find the area...

Students investigate the Napoleon triangle theory. In this polygon instructional activity, students  differentiate between the boundary points, interior and lattice point of a polygon. They apply concepts of equilateral...

Eighth graders examine probability. Students read real life situations involving math. Upon completing probability problems, they express their answer as a fraction, decimal or percent.

Second graders solve several simple subtraction problems to find out their level of understanding. They then play a game that is like the memory game instead of finding two identical cards, they match a math problem to its answer.

In this math worksheet, students divide fractions. Fractions are single digit fractions, both the numerator and denominator are single digits. Students use the method they have learned in class to perform the computation.

In this math worksheet, young scholars convert each given fraction to a decimal number. Some of the decimal numbers will be non-terminating decimals. The three improper fractions have decimal answers that terminate, or they divide to be...

Students define vocabulary related to vectors and investigate vector problems. In this math lesson plan, students define basis and explore plotting vectors in correlation to their basis. Plotting polynomials facilitates student...

Young scholars construct ratios using the hand as data. They use examples of cortical and trabecular bone found in the long bones to measure circumference, diameter, length, and weight of long bones. They perform computations using...

Students use the Internet to locate a famous mathematician who happens to share his or her own birthday. Using an imbedded worksheet, they then answer a series of questions about the mathematician and then write a short summary.

Students create a tessellations using rotation and translation. They also create a tessellation using reflection.
