Ancient World: This is a powerpoint jeopardy game. This can be used as a test or as a way to review information. We used this as a culminating test for our unit on Ancient Worlds. The jeopardy game is based on goals in math (geometry), language arts (myths, gods & goddesses), and social studies (Ancient Greece, Rome, Renaissance and Reformation).; Format: lesson plan (grade 6 English Language Arts, Social Studies, and Mathematics); By Danielle Pickard.

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.

Looking At Things From Different Angles: This lesson will introduce students to angles using a resource of Shodor Education Foundation, Inc. Permission has been granted for the use of the materials as part of the workshop "Interactivate Your Bored Math Students."; Format: lesson plan (grade 6 Mathematics); By Beth Jorgensen.

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.

Stocks Report: Students will create graphs illustrating changes in stocks and answer questions using the graphs.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6–8 Computer Technology Skills and Mathematics); By Susan Blackwell.

Finding satisfactory solutions: Students apply creative solutions to problem solving in the context of a story problem. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade 6–8 Mathematics); Provider: American Association for the Advancement of Science

Line 'em up: In this Illuminations lesson, students learn to plot a point (given its coordinates) and to state the coordinates of a given point using a graphing program for a Texas Instruments graphing calculator.
