What's the least number of colors needed to color a U.S. map? The lesson begins by having pupils view a video clip on continuous and discrete phenomenon, then launches into an activity reminiscent of Zeno's paradox. A separate video...

Scholars learn how to write number theory proofs by viewing a video reviewing techniques for proofs on divisibility, parity, and consecutive integers. They then write proofs for a handful of conjectures on a worksheet.

This math review PowerPoint engages fifth grade students in an interactive review of math concepts. This review game includes questions on numeration, data interpretation and number theory. This is in a "Jeopardy" style format.

High schoolers explore game theory.  In this secondary mathematics lesson, students plat the game of HOG using dice and explore the optimal strategies.  High schoolers play the game three ways:  any number of dice, a fixed...

Students explore game theory.  In this secondary mathematics lesson, students investigate the playing of a game called Hog which involves rolling dice.  Students explore many different scenarios as they consider the best...

An interesting instructional activity on hypothesizing about the diameter of a drop of blood that is splattered. To test their theories, learners work in groups to make blood droplets splatter from different heights. They use graphed...

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...

Can you tell how tall someone is just by looking at their feet? In this activity, young mathematicians measure their height, arm span, and foot size, graph their findings, and answer questions about how these measurements are related....

This extensive and far-reaching collection of worksheets puts a new twist on many basic concepts. Learners use multiplication to trace a path from one point to another, tile a plane by converting between improper and proper fractions,...

Students conduct scientific investigation in which they observe glacial effects on landscape, develop and explain their own theories of how glaciers change land, and demonstrate understanding and explain basic motion and force principles.

In this primes and multiples worksheet, students follow the directions to circle primes and multiples on a hundred chart until all prime numbers from 1 to 100 are circled. This is called the Sieve of Eratosthenes.

When you see a flower or a tree in nature do you see the math? This web resource contains many ideas for using fractals in a math class including Sierpinski’s triangle, Koch's Snowflake, and the Jurassic Park Fractal. Additionally, it...

Third graders discuss how Aristotle concluded that the Earth was round. As a class, they review theories about the Earth's shape and describe how life on Earth would be different if it were flat. Individually, they make a moon book in...

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...

Students study how to find prime numbers. They investigate the teachings of the mathematician Eratosthenes and apply his theory of prime numbers less than 100.
