Students will solve real world and mathematical problem situations using simple algebraic concepts including variables and open sentences.
Students will learn the concepts behind fractions, decimals, and percents by using sports statistics found on baseball cards.
A lesson plan for grade 8 Mathematics.
Students will investigate the first quadrant of the Cartesian coordinate system. They will use online activities developed by Shodor.org to identify the coordinates of points, or plot specific points. Then students will progress to an activity where they direct a robot through a mine field laid out on the coordinate plane. Permission has been granted for the use of the materials as part of the workshop - "Interactivate Your Bored Math Students" by Shodor Education Foundation, Inc.
Students will create a symmetrical artwork with construction paper, glue, and yarn. This lesson will allow students to use critical thinking to create an original work. They should learn that there is more than one solution to a creative problem.
This lesson plan will help the students visualize the different angles (corresponding, alternate interior, and same-side interior) when coplanar lines are cut by a transversal.
Students apply knowledge of genres to identify different genres from "reading-alouds of excerpts" from selected books representing different genres.
This plan is for Special Needs students, nonreaders with limited writing skills, and reluctant learners. This lesson was developed for a homebound setting (one-on-one) but could be easily adapted for use in the classroom. This plan addresses emerging writing skills by engaging the student's interest in creating original drawings.
This lesson will assist students to see angle relationships and the relationship of parallel lines and transversals. This exercise is good for visual and tactile learners since it is of a concrete nature. Students of all academic levels can enjoy this.
This lesson introduces students to scientific inquiry through the use of an activity sheet. This unit is based on Lesson 1.7 in "Intrigue of the Past: North Carolina's First Peoples", which is part of a national curriculum-development program called "Project Archaeology":
This lesson familiarizes students with tessellations, designs created by images placed against each other with no empty spaces. It also introduces the work of M. C. Escher. It can be used in conjunction with math lessons in geometry.
A practice in scientific notation, measurement, and scale distances, this lesson plan integrates mathematics into the science curriculum.
