Introduction to Calculus
Don't let your class's heart rates rise as you introduce them to differentiation ... an inquiry-based lesson helps them keep it in check! The second lesson in a three-part series asks learners to analyze the rate of change of different...
Project Maths
Introduction to Equations
Do your pupils truly understand inverse operations, or is their understanding a little backward? Scholars learn the meaning of an equation in the second lesson of a four-part Algebra series. A series of activities begins with an analysis...
Project Maths
Correlation Coefficient
Of course, there might be a correlation! Young mathematicians investigate several different data sets, create scatter plots, and determine any correlation. They consider whether a causation exists between any of the variables in question.

Fair Trials with Two Dice
Life's not fair, but dice games should be. After playing a two-person game with a pair of dice, scholars investigate the fairness of the game. They consider the number of possible outcomes using the fundamental counting principle and...
Project Maths
Probability and Relative Frequency
It's all relatively simple once you get the gist. Young mathematicians learn about sample spaces and simple probability by conducting an activity with dice. To complete the second of six parts in the Statistics and Probability unit, they...
Project Maths
Integral Calculus
From derivatives to antiderivatives and back again. Building on the second lesson of the three-part series covering functions, learners explore the concept of an antiderivative. They connect the concept to the graph of the function and...
Project Maths
Introduction to e
First there was pi and now there's e. A discovery-based lesson helps learners find a pattern in compound interest as the compounding period changes. Their investigation results in the discovery of the number e. The lesson is the first in...

Introduction to Quadratics
Develop conceptual knowledge of a quadratic equation and its solutions in your classes. The third algebra instructional activity in a series of four introduces learners to solving quadratic equations slowly. The first activity explores...
Project Maths
Introduction to Patterns
The world is full of patterns. Help learners quantify those patterns with mathematical representations. The first Algebra activity in a compilation of four uses a series of activities to build the concept of patterns using multiple...
Project Maths
Planes and Points
Build a solid foundation on which to develop future concepts. Through a guided exploration, learners compare and contrast the characteristics of points, lines, planes, rays, and segments. They measure lengths and practice notation for...

Trigonometric Functions
From a circle to a cycle! The final instructional activity of a five-part series challenges learners to use points from the unit circle to plot a repeating pattern. The repeating patterns become the graphs of the trigonometric functions....
Project Maths
The Unit Circle
It's not just any circle—it's the unit circle. The fourth activity in the series is an introduction to the famous unit circle. While working through a series of activities, young scholars learn the components of the unit circle and how...
