Students investigate topology. For this Applied Science lesson students explore higher, more abstract mathematics using tangles. Students make topologically related shapes.

Blend art, adolescent snacking habits, and math to create new cereal boxes. Secondary learners review scale drawings. They use this information to construct cereal boxes to scale and will compare their creation to the original product to...

There is more to congruency than just looking similar. Learn the difference and calculate the matching angles and sides to prove the congruence between figures. Lesson has step-by-step slides and follows with an assessment. 

What will be on the test? The resource provides comprehensive review items for the content of the unit on exponents. The resource divides the sections in the order you present the lessons during the unit. 

What properties does area possess? Solidify the area properties that pupils learned in previous years. Groups investigate the five properties using four problems, which then provide the basis for a class discussion.

First graders estimate length and height of items. They read the story of Jack and the Beanstalk and discuss estimation of size. Students predict the length and height of figures. They use lines and numbers on the centimeter rod and tape...

Second graders take a field trip to a nearby church or other historical building and examine it from a mathematical perspective. In groups, they calculate the seating capacity, describe the window patterns, differentiate types of...

Playing with matches (unlit, of course) becomes an engaging learning experience in this fun instructional unit. Teach pupils how to apply properties of exponential functions to solve problems. They differentiate between quadratic and...

Students explore how the population decreased in native cultures.

Too much material will weigh you down. The sixth segment in a series of 22 highlights how weight affects a plane. Pupils learn that engineers take the properties of materials, including weight, when designing something. 

In this bar graphs and line graphs activity, students interpret bar graphs, line graphs, and box-and-whisker plots.  They find the measures of central tendency.  This three-page activity contains notes, vocabulary, and...

Hands-on investigation of Riemann sums becomes possible without intensive arithmetic gymnastics with this interactive lesson plan. Learners manipulate online graphing tools to develop and test theories about right, left, and...

Sew up pupil interest with an engaging, hands-on lesson plan. Learners first design a sports bag given constraints on the dimensions of fabric. They then evaluate provided sample responses to identify strengths and weaknesses of included...

How much do you know about exponents? The pre-test covers the concepts of integer exponents with both numerical and algebraic one-variable expressions. The test is also over representing numbers in scientific notation, operating with...

If a can has a volume of twelve ounces, how tall it should be? If you can work with volume formulas, it's is an easy measurement to find. After finding the volume of figures in the previous lesson of the series, learners now...

Learners explore the concepts of length, perimeter, and area. In this math lesson, students use Shape Explorer to practice finding length, perimeter, and area.

Middle and high schoolers explore the concept of proving the Pythagorean Theorem. They research proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem. Pupils create posters of proofs, and research Greek mathematicians.

Choose to supplement your probability unit with this resource and you won't be disappointed with the outcome. Teach young mathematicians to organize information using tree diagrams and lists in order to determine the possible outcomes of...

Students explore perimeter. In this geometry and measurement lesson plan, students create squares and rectangles using given perimeters. Students construct four sided shapes with given perimeters using the computer program "Math Keys:...

Elementary schoolers learn about metric units and how they are used by engineers. They learn how engineers use the units to measure mass, distance, and volume. Then, they estimate measurements of units, and compare them to actual...

Learners discover the relationships of the lengths of the sides of right triangles and right triangles using a series of drawings on dot paper. They investigate and solve problems of standard (customary and metric units) and non-standard...

How fast is your class? Learners determine the amount of time it takes individuals to walk a given distance and calculate their speeds. Pupils solve distance, rate, and time problems using the formula and pay attention to the...
