Students state the characteristics of a problem definition. They write a project definition based on given background information. Students write a project definition for your project. They edit/write their project definition after...

Fourth graders investigate the concept of geometric patterning. They create their own patterns with a few basic requirements. The patterns must illustrate the concepts of flipping, 90 and 180 degree rotations. The collages also consist...

Learners explore careers that require math knowledge and solve real life math problems. As a class, they compare and contrast classroom math to real life math and explore the links between algebra, geometry and math skills used in...

Students participate in a game using 12 manipulatives.  For this addition and subtraction lesson students play a game originated by the Native Americans and  look at a number of items and calculate how many are hidden....

Students examine the mathematical concept of area. These activities and discussions may be used to develop students' understanding of this mathematical concept and will enable students to calculate the area of a random shape on a grid.

Students investigate Newton's Third Law of Motion as it exits in real world applications. They watch as the teacher makes a simple balloon powered car before explaining how the motion of the car demonstrates Newton's Third Law of Motion....

Students assess how to construct all possible circuits out of Nand gates. They divide into groups and are given a set of manipulatives to organize and explain the operation of a Nand gate. Each group recognizes the need to construct...

Students define the counting principle and how it relates to integers. In this algebra instructional activity, students add and subtract using the addition and multiplication principles. They solve problems using combination and...

Students investigate one, two and three dimensional objects. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between different shapes of objects and write equations to represent each. They start with what they already know and prove...

Students calculate the perimeter of a random shape on a grid.

Sixth graders explore the concept of averaging of numbers and the function of a spreadsheet. Data is collected, analyzed, and displayed in this lesson. The NASCAR race results provides the basis for the collection of data.

Learners explore the Method of Solution. They identify the components of the Method of Solution. Students develop the method of solution for a project that includes how the computer will be used, the mathematical equations needed to...
