Pre-K-2
In this lesson, students practice addition (subtraction optional) and deductive reasoning skills to solve KenKen puzzles.
6-8
This lesson is based on the MTLT article, “ Is the Last Banana Game Fair?” by Patrick Sullivan. The lesson engages students in simulations to calculate experimental probabilities and confirm those results by examining theoretical probabilities. 3-5
This lesson is based on the MTLT article, “Inquiry + Math Workshop Model = Success!” by Tutita M. Casa, Kathryn O'Connor, and Emma Dearborne. The lesson demonstrates the use of a workshop model that engages students in developing strategies to solve an authentic multiplication task.3-5
This lesson is based on the MTLT article, “Supporting LGBTQ+ Students in K-12 Mathematics” by Brandie E. Waid. In this lesson, students identify lines of symmetry for various symbols, create line-symmetrical figures and examples and non examples of images that have lines of symmetry, and analyze and discuss similarities and differences between their identify and that of their classmates. 9-12
This lesson is based on the MTLT article, “Visualizing Complex Roots of a Quadratic Equation” by Thomas Edwards, S. Asli Özgün-Koca, and Kenneth Chelst. In this lesson students use various tools to discover the geometric relationship between complex roots of a quadratic equation and the graph of the associated quadratic function.9-12
This lesson is based on the MTLT article, "Pythagoras, PVC Pipes, and Pianos" by Danielle Divis. The lesson uses a music-related activity to engage students in using and connecting multiple representations of exponential growth. 6-8
This lesson is based on the MTLT article, “Geometric Reflections: Why Should They Not Be Just a Flip?” by Dawn Teuscher, Shannon Dingman, Travis Olson, and Lisa Kasmer. In this lesson, students reflect points and figures to formulate a mathematical definition of reflection. Then, they identify and justify whether points and figures are reflections!
