Order of Operations Bingo
Instead of calling numbers to play Bingo you call (and write) expressions
to be evaluated for the numbers on the Bingo cards The operations in this
lesson are addition subtraction multiplication and division None of the
expressions contain exponents
What Are My Chances
Students will conduct five experiments through stations to compare
theoretical and experimental probability The class data will be combined
to compare with previously established theoretical probability
Polygon Capture
Adding It All Up (Interior Angles)
In this lesson students draw various polygons and investigate their
interior angles The investigation is done using both an interactive tool
and paper and pencil to foster an understanding of how different patterns
can lead to the same solution After comparing results with a partner
students develop a formula showing the relationship between the number
of sides of a polygon and the sum of the interior angles
The Golden Ratio
Students learn about ratios including the ldquoGolden Ratiordquo a ratio of
length to width that can be found in art architecture and nature
In this lesson students classify polygons according to
more than one property at a time In the context of
a game students move from a simple description of
shapes to an analysis of how properties are related
Corner to Corner Exploring Diagonals and the
Pythagorean Theorem Students explore square roots using the
diagonals of rectangles Using measurement students will discover a
method for finding the diagonal of any rectangle when the length and
width are known which leads to the Pythagorean Theorem
Squares Diagonals and Square Roots
Prime Time Probability Using Computer Games to Facilitate
Finding Probability of Independent Events
(Be sure to check-out the games on Calculation Nation)
Students explore the relationship between the lengths of
the sides and diagonals of a square Students will use their
discoveries to predict the diagonal length of any square

to be evaluated for the numbers on the Bingo cards The operations in this
lesson are addition subtraction multiplication and division None of the
expressions contain exponents
What Are My Chances
Students will conduct five experiments through stations to compare
theoretical and experimental probability The class data will be combined

Polygon Capture
Adding It All Up (Interior Angles)
In this lesson students draw various polygons and investigate their
interior angles The investigation is done using both an interactive tool
and paper and pencil to foster an understanding of how different patterns
can lead to the same solution After comparing results with a partner
students develop a formula showing the relationship between the number
of sides of a polygon and the sum of the interior angles
The Golden Ratio
Students learn about ratios including the ldquoGolden Ratiordquo a ratio of
length to width that can be found in art architecture and nature
In this lesson students classify polygons according to
more than one property at a time In the context of
a game students move from a simple description of
shapes to an analysis of how properties are related
Corner to Corner Exploring Diagonals and the
Pythagorean Theorem Students explore square roots using the

Order of Operations Bingo
Instead of calling numbers to play Bingo you call (and write) expressions
to be evaluated for the numbers on the Bingo cards The operations in this
lesson are addition subtraction multiplication and division None of the
expressions contain exponents
What Are My Chances
Students will conduct five experiments through stations to compare
theoretical and experimental probability The class data will be combined
to compare with previously established theoretical probability
Polygon Capture
Adding It All Up (Interior Angles)
In this lesson students draw various polygons and investigate their
interior angles The investigation is done using both an interactive tool
and paper and pencil to foster an understanding of how different patterns
can lead to the same solution After comparing results with a partner
students develop a formula showing the relationship between the number
of sides of a polygon and the sum of the interior angles
The Golden Ratio
Students learn about ratios including the ldquoGolden Ratiordquo a ratio of
length to width that can be found in art architecture and nature
In this lesson students classify polygons according to
more than one property at a time In the context of
a game students move from a simple description of
shapes to an analysis of how properties are related
Corner to Corner Exploring Diagonals and the
Pythagorean Theorem Students explore square roots using the
diagonals of rectangles Using measurement students will discover a
method for finding the diagonal of any rectangle when the length and
width are known which leads to the Pythagorean Theorem
Squares Diagonals and Square Roots
Prime Time Probability Using Computer Games to Facilitate
Finding Probability of Independent Events
(Be sure to check-out the games on Calculation Nation)
Students explore the relationship between the lengths of
the sides and diagonals of a square Students will use their
discoveries to predict the diagonal length of any square

Polygon Capture
Adding It All Up (Interior Angles)
In this lesson students draw various polygons and investigate their
interior angles The investigation is done using both an interactive tool
and paper and pencil to foster an understanding of how different patterns
can lead to the same solution After comparing results with a partner
students develop a formula showing the relationship between the number
of sides of a polygon and the sum of the interior angles
The Golden Ratio
Students learn about ratios including the ldquoGolden Ratiordquo a ratio of
length to width that can be found in art architecture and nature
In this lesson students classify polygons according to
more than one property at a time In the context of
a game students move from a simple description of
shapes to an analysis of how properties are related
Corner to Corner Exploring Diagonals and the
Pythagorean Theorem Students explore square roots using the
diagonals of rectangles Using measurement students will discover a
method for finding the diagonal of any rectangle when the length and
width are known which leads to the Pythagorean Theorem

Instead of calling numbers to play Bingo you call (and write) expressions
to be evaluated for the numbers on the Bingo cards The operations in this
lesson are addition subtraction multiplication and division None of the
expressions contain exponents
What Are My Chances
Students will conduct five experiments through stations to compare
theoretical and experimental probability The class data will be combined
to compare with previously established theoretical probability
Polygon Capture
Adding It All Up (Interior Angles)
In this lesson students draw various polygons and investigate their
interior angles The investigation is done using both an interactive tool
and paper and pencil to foster an understanding of how different patterns
can lead to the same solution After comparing results with a partner
students develop a formula showing the relationship between the number
of sides of a polygon and the sum of the interior angles
The Golden Ratio
Students learn about ratios including the ldquoGolden Ratiordquo a ratio of
length to width that can be found in art architecture and nature
In this lesson students classify polygons according to
more than one property at a time In the context of
a game students move from a simple description of
shapes to an analysis of how properties are related
Corner to Corner Exploring Diagonals and the
Pythagorean Theorem Students explore square roots using the
diagonals of rectangles Using measurement students will discover a
method for finding the diagonal of any rectangle when the length and
width are known which leads to the Pythagorean Theorem
Squares Diagonals and Square Roots
Prime Time Probability Using Computer Games to Facilitate
Finding Probability of Independent Events
(Be sure to check-out the games on Calculation Nation)
Students explore the relationship between the lengths of
the sides and diagonals of a square Students will use their
discoveries to predict the diagonal length of any square

to be evaluated for the numbers on the Bingo cards The operations in this
lesson are addition subtraction multiplication and division None of the
expressions contain exponents
What Are My Chances
Students will conduct five experiments through stations to compare
theoretical and experimental probability The class data will be combined
to compare with previously established theoretical probability
Polygon Capture
Adding It All Up (Interior Angles)
In this lesson students draw various polygons and investigate their
interior angles The investigation is done using both an interactive tool
and paper and pencil to foster an understanding of how different patterns
can lead to the same solution After comparing results with a partner
students develop a formula showing the relationship between the number
of sides of a polygon and the sum of the interior angles
The Golden Ratio
Students learn about ratios including the ldquoGolden Ratiordquo a ratio of
length to width that can be found in art architecture and nature
In this lesson students classify polygons according to
more than one property at a time In the context of
a game students move from a simple description of
shapes to an analysis of how properties are related
Corner to Corner Exploring Diagonals and the
Pythagorean Theorem Students explore square roots using the
diagonals of rectangles Using measurement students will discover a
method for finding the diagonal of any rectangle when the length and
width are known which leads to the Pythagorean Theorem
Squares Diagonals and Square Roots
Prime Time Probability Using Computer Games to Facilitate
Finding Probability of Independent Events
(Be sure to check-out the games on Calculation Nation)
Students explore the relationship between the lengths of
the sides and diagonals of a square Students will use their
discoveries to predict the diagonal length of any square

Order of Operations Bingo
Instead of calling numbers to play Bingo you call (and write) expressions
to be evaluated for the numbers on the Bingo cards The operations in this
lesson are addition subtraction multiplication and division None of the
expressions contain exponents
What Are My Chances
Students will conduct five experiments through stations to compare
theoretical and experimental probability The class data will be combined
to compare with previously established theoretical probability
Polygon Capture
Adding It All Up (Interior Angles)
In this lesson students draw various polygons and investigate their
interior angles The investigation is done using both an interactive tool
and paper and pencil to foster an understanding of how different patterns
can lead to the same solution After comparing results with a partner
students develop a formula showing the relationship between the number
of sides of a polygon and the sum of the interior angles
The Golden Ratio
Students learn about ratios including the ldquoGolden Ratiordquo a ratio of
length to width that can be found in art architecture and nature
In this lesson students classify polygons according to
more than one property at a time In the context of
a game students move from a simple description of
shapes to an analysis of how properties are related
Corner to Corner Exploring Diagonals and the
Pythagorean Theorem Students explore square roots using the
diagonals of rectangles Using measurement students will discover a
method for finding the diagonal of any rectangle when the length and
width are known which leads to the Pythagorean Theorem
Squares Diagonals and Square Roots
Prime Time Probability Using Computer Games to Facilitate
Finding Probability of Independent Events
(Be sure to check-out the games on Calculation Nation)
Students explore the relationship between the lengths of
the sides and diagonals of a square Students will use their
discoveries to predict the diagonal length of any square

Order of Operations Bingo
Instead of calling numbers to play Bingo you call (and write) expressions
to be evaluated for the numbers on the Bingo cards The operations in this
lesson are addition subtraction multiplication and division None of the
expressions contain exponents
What Are My Chances
Students will conduct five experiments through stations to compare
theoretical and experimental probability The class data will be combined
to compare with previously established theoretical probability
Polygon Capture
Adding It All Up (Interior Angles)
In this lesson students draw various polygons and investigate their
interior angles The investigation is done using both an interactive tool
and paper and pencil to foster an understanding of how different patterns
can lead to the same solution After comparing results with a partner
students develop a formula showing the relationship between the number
of sides of a polygon and the sum of the interior angles
The Golden Ratio
Students learn about ratios including the ldquoGolden Ratiordquo a ratio of
length to width that can be found in art architecture and nature
In this lesson students classify polygons according to
more than one property at a time In the context of
a game students move from a simple description of
shapes to an analysis of how properties are related
Corner to Corner Exploring Diagonals and the
Pythagorean Theorem Students explore square roots using the
diagonals of rectangles Using measurement students will discover a
method for finding the diagonal of any rectangle when the length and
width are known which leads to the Pythagorean Theorem
Squares Diagonals and Square Roots
Prime Time Probability Using Computer Games to Facilitate
Finding Probability of Independent Events
(Be sure to check-out the games on Calculation Nation)
Students explore the relationship between the lengths of
the sides and diagonals of a square Students will use their
discoveries to predict the diagonal length of any square

Adding It All Up (Interior Angles)
In this lesson students draw various polygons and investigate their
interior angles The investigation is done using both an interactive tool
and paper and pencil to foster an understanding of how different patterns
can lead to the same solution After comparing results with a partner
students develop a formula showing the relationship between the number
of sides of a polygon and the sum of the interior angles
The Golden Ratio
Students learn about ratios including the ldquoGolden Ratiordquo a ratio of
length to width that can be found in art architecture and nature
In this lesson students classify polygons according to
more than one property at a time In the context of
a game students move from a simple description of
shapes to an analysis of how properties are related
Corner to Corner Exploring Diagonals and the
Pythagorean Theorem Students explore square roots using the
diagonals of rectangles Using measurement students will discover a
method for finding the diagonal of any rectangle when the length and
width are known which leads to the Pythagorean Theorem
Squares Diagonals and Square Roots
Prime Time Probability Using Computer Games to Facilitate
Finding Probability of Independent Events
(Be sure to check-out the games on Calculation Nation)
Students explore the relationship between the lengths of
the sides and diagonals of a square Students will use their

Order of Operations Bingo
Instead of calling numbers to play Bingo you call (and write) expressions
to be evaluated for the numbers on the Bingo cards The operations in this
lesson are addition subtraction multiplication and division None of the
expressions contain exponents
What Are My Chances
Students will conduct five experiments through stations to compare
theoretical and experimental probability The class data will be combined
to compare with previously established theoretical probability
Polygon Capture
Adding It All Up (Interior Angles)
In this lesson students draw various polygons and investigate their
interior angles The investigation is done using both an interactive tool
and paper and pencil to foster an understanding of how different patterns
can lead to the same solution After comparing results with a partner
students develop a formula showing the relationship between the number
of sides of a polygon and the sum of the interior angles
The Golden Ratio
Students learn about ratios including the ldquoGolden Ratiordquo a ratio of
length to width that can be found in art architecture and nature
In this lesson students classify polygons according to
more than one property at a time In the context of
a game students move from a simple description of
shapes to an analysis of how properties are related
Corner to Corner Exploring Diagonals and the
Pythagorean Theorem Students explore square roots using the
diagonals of rectangles Using measurement students will discover a
method for finding the diagonal of any rectangle when the length and
width are known which leads to the Pythagorean Theorem
Squares Diagonals and Square Roots
Prime Time Probability Using Computer Games to Facilitate
Finding Probability of Independent Events
(Be sure to check-out the games on Calculation Nation)
Students explore the relationship between the lengths of
the sides and diagonals of a square Students will use their
discoveries to predict the diagonal length of any square

Order of Operations Bingo
Instead of calling numbers to play Bingo you call (and write) expressions
to be evaluated for the numbers on the Bingo cards The operations in this
lesson are addition subtraction multiplication and division None of the
expressions contain exponents
What Are My Chances
Students will conduct five experiments through stations to compare
theoretical and experimental probability The class data will be combined
to compare with previously established theoretical probability
Polygon Capture
Adding It All Up (Interior Angles)
In this lesson students draw various polygons and investigate their
interior angles The investigation is done using both an interactive tool
and paper and pencil to foster an understanding of how different patterns
can lead to the same solution After comparing results with a partner
students develop a formula showing the relationship between the number
of sides of a polygon and the sum of the interior angles
The Golden Ratio
Students learn about ratios including the ldquoGolden Ratiordquo a ratio of
length to width that can be found in art architecture and nature
In this lesson students classify polygons according to
more than one property at a time In the context of
a game students move from a simple description of
shapes to an analysis of how properties are related
Corner to Corner Exploring Diagonals and the
Pythagorean Theorem Students explore square roots using the
diagonals of rectangles Using measurement students will discover a
method for finding the diagonal of any rectangle when the length and
width are known which leads to the Pythagorean Theorem
Squares Diagonals and Square Roots
Prime Time Probability Using Computer Games to Facilitate

(Be sure to check-out the games on Calculation Nation)
Students explore the relationship between the lengths of
the sides and diagonals of a square Students will use their

Discovering Gallon Man
Order of Operations Bingo
Instead of calling numbers to play Bingo you call (and write) expressions
to be evaluated for the numbers on the Bingo cards The operations in this
lesson are addition subtraction multiplication and division None of the
expressions contain exponents
What Are My Chances
Students will conduct five experiments through stations to compare
theoretical and experimental probability The class data will be combined
to compare with previously established theoretical probability
Polygon Capture
Adding It All Up (Interior Angles)
In this lesson students draw various polygons and investigate their
interior angles The investigation is done using both an interactive tool
and paper and pencil to foster an understanding of how different patterns
can lead to the same solution After comparing results with a partner
students develop a formula showing the relationship between the number
of sides of a polygon and the sum of the interior angles
The Golden Ratio
Students learn about ratios including the ldquoGolden Ratiordquo a ratio of
length to width that can be found in art architecture and nature
In this lesson students classify polygons according to
more than one property at a time In the context of
a game students move from a simple description of
shapes to an analysis of how properties are related
Corner to Corner Exploring Diagonals and the
Pythagorean Theorem Students explore square roots using the
diagonals of rectangles Using measurement students will discover a
method for finding the diagonal of any rectangle when the length and
width are known which leads to the Pythagorean Theorem
Squares Diagonals and Square Roots
Prime Time Probability Using Computer Games to Facilitate
Finding Probability of Independent Events
(Be sure to check-out the games on Calculation Nation)
Students explore the relationship between the lengths of
the sides and diagonals of a square Students will use their
discoveries to predict the diagonal length of any square

Order of Operations Bingo
Instead of calling numbers to play Bingo you call (and write) expressions
to be evaluated for the numbers on the Bingo cards The operations in this
lesson are addition subtraction multiplication and division None of the
expressions contain exponents
What Are My Chances
Students will conduct five experiments through stations to compare
theoretical and experimental probability The class data will be combined
to compare with previously established theoretical probability
Polygon Capture
Adding It All Up (Interior Angles)
In this lesson students draw various polygons and investigate their
interior angles The investigation is done using both an interactive tool
and paper and pencil to foster an understanding of how different patterns
can lead to the same solution After comparing results with a partner
students develop a formula showing the relationship between the number
of sides of a polygon and the sum of the interior angles
The Golden Ratio
Students learn about ratios including the ldquoGolden Ratiordquo a ratio of
length to width that can be found in art architecture and nature
In this lesson students classify polygons according to
more than one property at a time In the context of
a game students move from a simple description of
shapes to an analysis of how properties are related
Corner to Corner Exploring Diagonals and the
Pythagorean Theorem Students explore square roots using the
diagonals of rectangles Using measurement students will discover a
method for finding the diagonal of any rectangle when the length and
width are known which leads to the Pythagorean Theorem
Squares Diagonals and Square Roots
Prime Time Probability Using Computer Games to Facilitate
Finding Probability of Independent Events
(Be sure to check-out the games on Calculation Nation)
Students explore the relationship between the lengths of
the sides and diagonals of a square Students will use their
discoveries to predict the diagonal length of any square

Order of Operations Bingo
Instead of calling numbers to play Bingo you call (and write) expressions
to be evaluated for the numbers on the Bingo cards The operations in this
lesson are addition subtraction multiplication and division None of the
expressions contain exponents
What Are My Chances
Students will conduct five experiments through stations to compare
theoretical and experimental probability The class data will be combined
to compare with previously established theoretical probability
Polygon Capture
Adding It All Up (Interior Angles)
In this lesson students draw various polygons and investigate their
interior angles The investigation is done using both an interactive tool
and paper and pencil to foster an understanding of how different patterns
can lead to the same solution After comparing results with a partner
students develop a formula showing the relationship between the number
of sides of a polygon and the sum of the interior angles
The Golden Ratio
Students learn about ratios including the ldquoGolden Ratiordquo a ratio of
length to width that can be found in art architecture and nature
In this lesson students classify polygons according to
more than one property at a time In the context of
a game students move from a simple description of
shapes to an analysis of how properties are related
Corner to Corner Exploring Diagonals and the
Pythagorean Theorem Students explore square roots using the
diagonals of rectangles Using measurement students will discover a
method for finding the diagonal of any rectangle when the length and
width are known which leads to the Pythagorean Theorem
Squares Diagonals and Square Roots
Prime Time Probability Using Computer Games to Facilitate
Finding Probability of Independent Events
(Be sure to check-out the games on Calculation Nation)
Students explore the relationship between the lengths of
the sides and diagonals of a square Students will use their
discoveries to predict the diagonal length of any square

Discovering Gallon Man
Order of Operations Bingo
Instead of calling numbers to play Bingo you call (and write) expressions
to be evaluated for the numbers on the Bingo cards The operations in this
lesson are addition subtraction multiplication and division None of the
expressions contain exponents
What Are My Chances
Students will conduct five experiments through stations to compare
theoretical and experimental probability The class data will be combined
to compare with previously established theoretical probability
Polygon Capture
Adding It All Up (Interior Angles)
In this lesson students draw various polygons and investigate their
interior angles The investigation is done using both an interactive tool
and paper and pencil to foster an understanding of how different patterns
can lead to the same solution After comparing results with a partner
students develop a formula showing the relationship between the number
of sides of a polygon and the sum of the interior angles
The Golden Ratio
Students learn about ratios including the ldquoGolden Ratiordquo a ratio of
length to width that can be found in art architecture and nature
In this lesson students classify polygons according to
more than one property at a time In the context of
a game students move from a simple description of
shapes to an analysis of how properties are related
Corner to Corner Exploring Diagonals and the
Pythagorean Theorem Students explore square roots using the
diagonals of rectangles Using measurement students will discover a
method for finding the diagonal of any rectangle when the length and
width are known which leads to the Pythagorean Theorem
Squares Diagonals and Square Roots
Prime Time Probability Using Computer Games to Facilitate
Finding Probability of Independent Events
(Be sure to check-out the games on Calculation Nation)
Students explore the relationship between the lengths of
the sides and diagonals of a square Students will use their
discoveries to predict the diagonal length of any square

Classic Mistake Posters
Math lessons for grades 6-8
Discovering Gallon Man
Order of Operations Bingo
Instead of calling numbers to play Bingo you call (and write) expressions
to be evaluated for the numbers on the Bingo cards The operations in this
lesson are addition subtraction multiplication and division None of the
expressions contain exponents
What Are My Chances
Students will conduct five experiments through stations to compare
theoretical and experimental probability The class data will be combined
to compare with previously established theoretical probability
Polygon Capture
Adding It All Up (Interior Angles)
In this lesson students draw various polygons and investigate their
interior angles The investigation is done using both an interactive tool
and paper and pencil to foster an understanding of how different patterns
can lead to the same solution After comparing results with a partner
students develop a formula showing the relationship between the number
of sides of a polygon and the sum of the interior angles
The Golden Ratio
Students learn about ratios including the ldquoGolden Ratiordquo a ratio of
length to width that can be found in art architecture and nature
In this lesson students classify polygons according to
more than one property at a time In the context of
a game students move from a simple description of
shapes to an analysis of how properties are related
Corner to Corner Exploring Diagonals and the
Pythagorean Theorem Students explore square roots using the
diagonals of rectangles Using measurement students will discover a
method for finding the diagonal of any rectangle when the length and
width are known which leads to the Pythagorean Theorem
Squares Diagonals and Square Roots
Prime Time Probability Using Computer Games to Facilitate
Finding Probability of Independent Events
(Be sure to check-out the games on Calculation Nation)
Students explore the relationship between the lengths of
the sides and diagonals of a square Students will use their
discoveries to predict the diagonal length of any square
