ACC basketball: The students will use ACC basketball statistics to practice the process of converting fractions to decimals then to percents and will learn how to create and edit a spreadsheet. They will then use this spreadsheet to analyze their data. This unit is done during the basketball season.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6–8 Computer Technology Skills and Mathematics); By Susan Dougherty.

Camp Earth Bound: Problem Solving and Finding for Fun: Students will work together in small groups of four to six students to solve the following word problems. Their solutions will require them to practice interview techniques and create a database and/or spreadsheet of their results. This information will be the basis of the answers to the following eight word problems. Skills such as area, cost, calorie count, ratio, percentage and scale, as well as persuasive writing will be applied.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6 English Language Arts and Mathematics); By Jamie Hulse.

Coordinate Plane Artwork: For this lesson students will go to the computer lab and use the General Coordinate Game applet created by the Shodor Foundation to obtain a more specific understanding of the coordinate plane, its parts, and how it can be used to graph points. Afterwards, the students will practice using the coordinate plane by drawing a picture on a coordinate plane and then writing out directions (using coordinates) for that picture to be replicated exactly by another student, who will not see the picture but will follow the directions.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6 Mathematics); By Erin Foerster.

Discovering Pi: This lesson introduces students to Pi through the discovery method of instruction. Students practice simple measuring skills to discover the relationship between the circumference and diameter of circular objects (Pi).They will be able to use this concept to find the circumference of any circle when the diameter is given.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6 Mathematics); By Betty Shell.

Domino Fractions: This is a review activity on the lesson of adding and simplifying fractions. This activity will provide a new approach to seeing a fraction and simplifying it, and the activity will allow students to set up and solve equations. This activity also works for subtraction of fractions.; Format: lesson plan (grade 5–6 Mathematics); By Angelica Young.

Newspaper Basket: Students use measurement skills to create a basket and respond to questions involving fractions, decimals, and geometric measurements.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6 Mathematics); By Susan Jennings.

Perimeter and Area Around the North Carolina Zoo: Students learn about perimeter, area and scale drawings of various geometric shapes. As they learn they apply their knowledge to different animal enclosures at the North Carolina Zoo. To gather information about design of animal enclosures the classes visit the zoo. The students then compile all they learned by creating a scaled drawing and model of an human habitation exhibit for a zoo.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6 Mathematics); By Susan Hoercher.

The Prime Team: Students will learn their prime numbers by creating and manipulating their own Sieve of Eratosthenes.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6 Mathematics); By Lori Bradley.

Sale! Sale! Sale!: Consumer math often requires shoppers to analyze and compare the same products at different stores. In addition to price variations, retailers offer incentives or discounts. This lesson requires students to be informed consumers who calculate three purchasing options and conclude which is the best deal. The activity enables students to apply mathematics to a real-life situation.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6 Mathematics); By Leslie Hawes.

See How They Run! The 100 Meter Dash: Middle level students will collect times as they run the 100 meter dash. These times will be depicted through various graphic representations (bar, circle, histogram). Times will be compared to current world records for the 100 meters. Students will decide which Math class ran fastest and support that choice in short essay form. They will also try to determine the faster gender based on the data collected.

This lesson plan is a unit filled with related lesson plans. One or two parts of this project could be completed as a stand-alone lesson, or the entire set of activities and extensions could be completed for an involved, integrated unit.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6–8 Mathematics); By Holly Smith.
