Students identify symmetry in shapes. In this geometry lesson, students fold paper to identify lines of symmetry. Students create various symmetrical shapes using folded paper.

Students study geometric shapes and practice naming them properly. For this geometry lesson, students work in groups to give definitions of the vocabulary to each other in their own words. Students also visit a lower grade and teach...

Learning how to define vocabulary words related to solving parallelograms will assist your learners in identifying different parallelograms. They use the navigator to view different shapes created by moving the parallelogram around.

Learners explore counting, sorting, and graphing skills. In this data analysis lesson, students sort jelly beans by color, count the jelly beans, and create a bar graph of the jelly beans according to color.

Learners define terms and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, students plot their data using bar and line graphs. They analyze their data after they graph it and apply the results to the Great Depression.

Seventh graders examine the uses of mean, median, and mode. They define key vocabulary terms, observe the teacher model examples of mean, median, and mode, and discuss real world examples of central tendency of sets of data. Students...

Students explore Greek Mythology. In this Greek Mythology unit, students read myths, pantomime vocabulary words, practice research skills, create city-states, and demonstrate knowledge of ratios and proportions. This unit includes many...

Students explore the relationships between angles formed by two lines cut by a transversal when lines are and are not parallel. They define key vocabulary terms, then using a camera take pictures at their school of parallel lines with...

Students discover the power of wind by flying a glider.  In this weather lesson, students describe their thoughts on wind and practice using weather related vocabulary.  Students construct model gliders in class and attempt to...

Students investigate planning an activity and getting it done on time. In this algebra instructional activity, students define vocabulary words related quadratic equations, including the vertex and intervals. They figure a good way to...

Students investigate the fundamental theorem of calculus. In this calculus lesson, students derive the fundamental theorem of calculus. They differentiate between the first and second theorem.

Young mathematicians differentiate between logs and natural logs in this algebra lesson. They solve functions and logarithmic functions. Learners also graph and rewrite the exponential and log functions.

Third graders complete a worksheet.  In this fractions lesson, 3rd graders review fraction vocabulary, use the SmartBoard to divide fractions and complete stations where they work with fractional parts of a whole.

Students examine the food pyramid. In this health/math lesson students make biscuits. Students are assigned a group to measure out ingredients. Students also discuss which part of the food pyramid biscuits fall into and the nutritional...

Students analyze objects by one or more attributes. In this sorting instructional activity, students use manipulatives and string or yarn to create a sorting game. Students read books and items from the classroom to sort. 

Students work with patterns. For this pattern lesson, students find AB patterns in nature and the manmade world. They create their own AB pattern using math manipulatives and visual arts. 

Students define vocabulary related to geometry and calculate the volume. In this geometry lesson plan, students calculate flow rates, and volume as it relates to a water plant facility. They calculate the volume of three dimensional...

Students graph functions and analyze them. In this calculus lesson plan, students define limit formally using Epsilon-Delta. They use the TI to graph the function and analyze it.

Students graph systems of equation. In this calculus lesson, students graph their lines on a TI calculator. They identify the point of intersection and the type of solution.

Learners calculate the limits of functions. In this calculus lesson, students find the left and right handed limits of different functions. They use the Ti Navigator to drag the function around as they study limits.

Students identify critical points on a graph. In this calculus lesson, students graph their equations on the TI calculator. They zoom in and out to identify the critical points.

Mathematicians use a symmetric secant line to prove the derivative at a point. In this trigonometry lesson, students create secant lines on the navigator to analyze the derivative. They move the lines around and make observations.

Learners identify the critical points to a function. In this calculus lesson, students perform optimization of functions. They use the TI to create a visual of the graph.

Learners investigate the intervals represented by a function in this calculus lesson. They decide what interval of the function will be positive, negative or zero. They are then given graphs of functions and asked to analyze it.
