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.

Interdisciplinary Integrated Unit on DNA/Genetics Part B: Math: This lesson is part of an interdisciplinary integrated unit on DNA and genetics. The idea is for students to complete a week's worth of activities in science, math, and language arts. This lesson is Part B: Math. Students will complete a math survey interviewing people on whether they believe humans should or should not be cloned. They will take the data they gather and create computer generated spreadsheets, charts/graphs. Using the charts/graphs, students will answer mathematical percent and ratio questions and write a final journal entry on the information they collected and discovered.; Format: lesson plan (grade 7 English Language Arts, Computer Technology Skills, and Mathematics); By Jane Lentz, Jimmy White, Marlene Smith, and Tori Goldrick.

Life's Percents: Students will gather data from their own lives to use in calculating percents. They will measure parts of their bodies (head, leg, neck, etc.), complete a class survey that asks information about themselves, and use a pay stub to find percentages of deductions.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6–7 Mathematics); By Karen Mcpherson.

Percent Problem Solving: Students apply their knowledge of fractions, decimals, and percents to understand the relationship amongst the three. Students will solve basic percent number problems using the percent proportion or other methods and play a game using a resource of the Shodor Education Foundation, Inc. Permission has been granted to use the materials as part of the Interactivate Your Bored Math Students workshop. Students will also analyze and explain the results of their game by answering two exploration questions.; Format: lesson plan (grade 7 English Language Arts and Mathematics); By Victoria Lunetta.

Post-EOG Activities: Student Products: In this project, students will become entrepenuers. They will have a business that makes items with 3-Dimensional shapes. They will receive various tasks that will require that they make decisions as any other business owner would have to do.; Format: lesson plan (grade 7 Mathematics); By Geneva Williams.

Savor the Rainbow: Use skittles to help the students practice the concepts of sorting data, recording data, writing the data collected in fraction form (part/whole), changing the fractions into decimals and percents, and taking the data collected and making a spreadsheet, bar graph, and circle graph of the data.; Format: lesson plan (grade 7 Mathematics); By Beverly Revis.

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.

Trashketball Review for ratios, fractions, decimals and percents.: This lesson will help the students with changing from ratios to fractions, fractions to decimals, and decimals to percents.; Format: lesson plan (grade 7 Mathematics); By David Crumm.

Zoo integrated unit: The unit uses the North Carolina Zoological Park as a teaching tool rather than as a nice place to visit. It can be used by a single teacher or multiple teachers of different subjects, and it is aimed at 7th and 8th graders.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6–8 Information Skills, English Language Arts, Social Studies, Computer Technology Skills, Mathematics, and Science); By Craig Smith.
