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.

Medical careers: Working with probability: In this lesson for grade six, students will use probability to predict the likelihood of occurrence of two unrelated health conditions and will understand how math can be applied to careers in mathematics.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6 Mathematics); By Kim Abrams, Mike McDowell, and and Barbara Strange.

Spin, Toss, and Roll!: Students will use hands-on experiments to find the probability that certain events will occur.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6–8 Mathematics); By Carol Baldwin.

Balancing shapes: In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, students balance shapes using an interactive pan balance applet to study equality as an introduction to algebra.

Barbie bungee: In this Illuminations lesson, students model a bungee jump using a Barbie doll and rubber bands. The distance to which the doll will fall is directly proportional to the number of rubber bands, so this context is used to examine linear functions.

Dealing with data in the elementary school: In this lesson, from Illuminations, students hone their problem-solving skills through the collection and analysis of real data. They use the mean, mode, and median to analyze their data and make graphs to represent their findings.

The Game of SKUNK: Students practice decision-making skills while playing a dice game called “Skunk.” (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade 6 Mathematics); Provider: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

History of populations: In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, students analyze information represented graphically. Students are asked to discuss, describe, read, and write about the graphs and the information they contain.
