Fifth graders use a software program to practice their problem solving skills. As a class, they identify patterns in their days at school and review problem solving patterns in math. They solve different problems and discover that the...

Build tables by understanding their structure. Scholars take a closer look at the structure of ratio tables in the 10th segment in a 29-part series. Individuals realize that the tables can be built using an additive or...

Fifth graders solve problems while examining a variety of isosceles triangles.  In this isosceles triangle lesson, 5th graders examine shapes to find their characteristics.  Students pay particular attention to the...

Students study math. For this real-life problem solving lesson, students work on their skills dealing with time and money. They work in small groups on various time and money word problems and by the final day they have a final problem...

Students examine the dynamics of family finances. In groups, they discuss the importance of a budget and create their own given a fictional amount of money. As a class, they listen to a speaker from the bank discussing the importance of...

Review the principles of scaling areas and draws a comparison to scaling volumes with a third dimensional measurement. The exercises continue with what happens to the volume if the dimensions are not multiplied by the same...

Triangles, triangles, and more triangles! In this second installment of a 36-part series, your young mathematicians explore two increasingly challenging constructions, requiring them to develop a way to construct three triangles that...

Fifth graders solve word problems. In this math lesson, 5th graders read the word problem and determine what is being asked. Students solve the problem and explain how they reached their solution.

Learners are given the background information to open the lesson: Suppose a penalty kicker in soccer could choose where he could kick from, as long as he stayed on the back line of the penalty area. Would he have a better chance of...

In this contour integration worksheet, students compute the value of integrals, sketch the contour and list the parameterization used. This two-page worksheet contains three problems.

Students demonstrate how to use spreadsheets as a tool for analyzing, visualizing and solving mathematical problems. Students obtain fundamental grasp of cubic equations and other polynomial equations.
