Take mathematics to the hoop! Pairs first measure the linear distances on a basketball court. Using those measurements, they determine the scale lengths to create a scaled model. To finish the activity, learners create models of the...

The history of aerodynamics is rich with experimentation and international collaboration. Author Joyce Bryant relays this dynamic past and provides math word problems using the formula of lift, the force that makes airplanes fly. She...

Young scholars use problem-solving approaches to investigate mathematical content. They formulate problems from situations within and outside mathematics content. They warm up with a survey done by the teacher. Everyone uses practice...

Add imagination and creativity to your math lesson. Young mathematicians investigate ways to express their names in mathematical terms. For instance, they can count the number of letters, analyze the geometric shapes of the letters, or...

Pupils use blocks and markers to illustrate the processes of adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing integers. In this mathematics lesson, learners use Algebra blocks to demonstrate multiplying polynomials.

Middle schoolers utilize mathematical concepts such as: measurement, ratio and proportion and geometric probability to analyze the components of the U.S. Flag. They collect, organize and interpret data by constructing charts, tables and...

High schoolers create a mathematical formula to help plan ration supplies for a polar expedition. Using basic algebra skills, students identify the variables in planning for rations. They create an equation to help plan the expedition....

Students develop an awareness of mathematics in a diverse number of careers, then describe three duties of a pilot that require mathematical skills. They increase understanding of interpreting data relationships presented in table format.

High schoolers will love this geometrically exact ceramics project; they create a personalized clay box using the slab method and mathematical measurements. They utilize scoring and square construction and can decorate the boxes to...

Count this assessment in the "use" pile. Middle schoolers solve a set of five problems in the seventh and eighth grade number system domains. All problems are in pure mathematics with no applications.

Learners explore data that be modeled by a logistic function. They have the opportunity to study real-life data and create a mathematical function to model the data and make a prediction.

Explore how the study of diseases and epidemics can be comprehended from a mathematical perspective. Investigate finite geometric series, calculating threshold values, and statistical models of the spread of disease. How many makes it an...

Geometers explore mathematics by completing an object measurement worksheet. They utilize a variety of candy bars and rulers to conduct a measurement experiment in class. They complete worksheets as a group based on the measurement...

Learners reflect on their past experiences in mathematics classes - both good and bad. They identify what methods, knowledge and strategies have been helpful to them and write about them in a journal to be shared with the current teacher.

View a PBS video entitled Horatio's Drive and explore Horatio's Ratios. Collaborative learners form groups to use Mapquest to determine distances covered. They generate the mathematical averages, ratios, and rates in order to calculate...

First graders use Cuisenaire rods to study the mathematical symbols =, <, > for the relationships is equal to, is less than, and is greater than. They use the rods to show visual explanations of common number combinations.

Eighth graders read a book "Counting on Frank" with a partner. Using the text, they identify eight clues and use their mathematical reasoning in real-life situations. They participate in a game and turn in a notebook in which they write...

A combination of informative text, photos, and graphics comprise this sharp show on electromagnetic radiation. Some slides mention hands-on activities for demonstrating concepts, so if you want to include them you will need to figure out...

For this seventh grade mathematics worksheet, 7th graders are provided with questions that are reflective of the grade level expectations for New York State.  The twenty page worksheet contains thirty multiple choice...

Students discuss and determine what is zero, what is infinity, and where do these numbers come from?

Third graders pick up plastic ants scattered on the floor. They take them back to their desks, count them, and add their totals to those of other students.

Students create table to display GED Testing data located in paragraph provided by teacher, use information in table to create appropriate graph, and determine percentage difference between passing scores and failing scores.

Young scholars locate the population and square mileage of at least one state. Using this information students graph the population and the area of the 50 states individually and as a class, then analyze the information.

Third graders practice multiplication using a fun game called "Multo." They write numbers in boxes using a grid similar to one found on a Bingo card. They score when their numbers are called. The smallest number possible is zero and the...
